Samples for City of Fontana
City of Hawaiian Gardens – Express Communications Assessment
In June 2018, City of Hawaiian Gardens engaged Tripepi Smith to develop an “Express Communications Assessment” report and presentation to City Council. The report defined the various methods the City was using to externally communicate, processes and logistics involved, and partner agencies who were receptive to cross promoting the City’s messages. It also included specific recommendations on Communications strategies and tactics to consider. Following delivery of the report, the City engaged Tripepi Smith to provide strategic communications support monthly. As of this writing, that engagement is still active. Tripepi Smith presented its findings to the City Council in January 2019.
City of Windsor – Full Communications Assessment
Tripepi Smith delivered a Full Communications Assessment report to the Town of Windsor in October 2017. The report is an expansive audit of the Town’s departmental communications efforts, including staff methodology, platforms used, challenges and Tripepi Smith’s recommendations to improve the impact of communications. Findings for the report were primarily collected during a three-day onsite visit to Windsor. The team conducted 36 interviews with Town Council members, Town Staff, longtime residents and other influential community members.
City of La Verne – Engagement Report
Tripepi Smith has been providing communication support on a retainer basis for the City of La Verne since August 2020. As part of our engagement, Tripepi Smith provides a monthly dashboard report for City Staff to review the progress and impact of their communication efforts. Social media is a major component of the engagement, and Tripepi Smith provides metrics related to social media work to the City Staff each month. This metric report, which is ultimately delivered to City Council, provides a critical dashboard into the City’s outreach efforts and its existence has helped advance a culture of communication at the City. Tripepi Smith strongly encourages our clients to generate monthly dashboard reports on communication efforts to ensure progress is being measured or shortcomings are being identified.

LOGO DESIGN: City of Norwalk
The City of Norwalk had a dated logo and motto from the 1980s that had not kept up with the growth and evolution of the City. Tripepi Smith took the logo rebrand process from start to finish, from stakeholder engagement to delivery of final assets and guidelines.
Additionally, City of Norwalk came to Tripepi Smith for 2 transit ad campaigns: a fireworks safety campaign and an awareness campaign for the logo rebrand.

PRINT MATERIALS: City of Aliso Viejo, Economic Development
The Economic Development department at the City of Aliso Viejo asked Tripepi Smith to design materials that would build support for planned redevelopment, as well as provide clear information to local businesses about the process. Our designers used GIS maps to create several phase maps, with several matching infographics. We also created the presentation materials with engaging photography, layout and covers for a pocket-folder, enclosed USB, presentation booklet and matching PowerPoint presentation.
BRAND STYLE GUIDE: City of Cupertino
After providing the City of Cupertino with a communication assessment in 2015, the City further engaged Tripepi Smith in 2017 to update their style guide and refresh their brand identity. While maintaining the integrity of the current city seal and logo, the City of Cupertino now has an expanded color palette and a clearly defined typography set as a part of their identity. In the process of updating the style guide, Tripepi Smith also updated some of their city templates to be more streamlined and user friendly.
In 2019, Tripepi Smith used these brand standards for the City of Cupertino’s graphic design. In addition to their monthly publication Scene, Tripepi Smith created infographics and enhanced the layout for their annual Climate Action Plan report.
