In late February 2020, the City of Santa Paula enlisted Tripepi Smith to help it better reach and connect with residents. Since the beginning of the relationship, Santa Paula has seen upward trends in online engagement as exhibited by rising like, follower and subscriber counts on its social media.

“We are thrilled to have Tripepi Smith on our side,” said Santa Paula City Manager Dan Singer. “We found exactly what we were looking for in a partner with the firm: understanding of local government and the role of public information, expertise in all things communications-related, responsiveness and creativity. The team has had a noticeable impact on our internal processes and our success with getting through to residents, especially at such a critical time for information dissemination to our wanting constituents.”

Powered by Senior Business Analyst Emily Mason and Junior Business Analyst Clare Burgess, the team  engages in media relations on behalf of the City and manages Santa Paula’s social media, which reaches 20,000+ people across Facebook, Nextdoor, Instagram and Twitter. Each month, the team captures metrics on the City’s platforms, evaluating its most and least successful communications to gauge community priorities and inform future communications.

“It’s been a rewarding experience rounding out City Staff’s efforts, and in general, getting our partnership with Santa Paula off the ground,” said Emily. “We have had the opportunity to do some really fun work so far, including the creation of two videos about pavement management and an infographic on Santa Paula’s local sales tax, Measure T. It’s a pleasure working alongside Santa Paula’s team and getting to know the City’s diverse community.”
