The City of Ojai called on Tripepi Smith to assist in the design and production of its first quarterly print newsletter, the “Ojai Outlook.”

“Here in Ojai, we prioritize clear and consistent communication with our residents,” said Ben Harvey, City Manager. “We wanted to find a way to keep all of our residents informed, not just the ones who follow us on social media or view our website. A print newsletter was a no-brainer, and with the expertise of Tripepi Smith, we created an aesthetically pleasing, informative resource for our residents we plan to continue for years to come.”

Tripepi Smith Junior Business Analyst Kendall Lowery and Junior Graphic Designer Jenna Haubruge handled the project management and design of the newsletter, with Principal Cameron Grimm providing editorial oversight. Business Analyst Skyler Addison and Junior Business Analyst Hannah Wedepohl assisted with content production. To ensure the newsletter featured up-to-date visuals, photographer Nolan Voge spent the day capturing stock photography and drone images for use in future publications. The six-page mailed newsletter highlights general City updates, project statuses, staff spotlights and more, nestled amongst graphic elements.

“The Ojai Outlook is a valuable new edition to Ojai’s communication efforts,” said Kendall. “We wanted to create something that not only informed the community but also encouraged them to learn more about the City’s initiatives. We are grateful to have brought the City’s vision to life, and are looking forward to working with them on future Outlook editions!”
