Trippe & Company Opens Agency Doors in Colorado; Industry Veteran Assembles Seasoned Team to Provide Full Suite of Marketing, Branding and Communications Services.

FRISCO, Colo. -- Trippe & Company LLC, a marketing, branding and communications agency, officially launched today with a roster of six accounts, including Hunter Douglas, Main Street Mortgage, Secure64 Software, Summit County Housing Authority, Systemation and Tendril Networks.

Trippe & Company was formed following the dissolution of Trippe-Marino, a Denver-based branding and public relations agency. William P. Marino has formed a separate agency called SJI Communications Ltd.

Trippe & Company is structured into three practice areas: marketing strategy, branding and communications, and services clients from its main office in Frisco, Colorado, and affiliate offices in Boulder, Portland and San Jose.

"One of the important differences between Trippe & Company and other agencies in Colorado is our understanding of marketing strategy," said President Karla W. Trippe. "With several former VPs of marketing on staff we have the war wounds from executing programs on a worldwide scale. From those experiences we have developed a core set of proven processes and methodologies that save significant time and budget without sacrificing creativity. It's our knowledge and experience that ensure our ideas will work."

Trippe brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the agency. Her nationally recognized campaigns have launched more than 50 companies and products worldwide. In addition to Trippe's extensive work in all facets of marketing and communications, she is currently serving a second term as councilwoman for Silverthorne, Colorado. In 2005 she chaired the Summit County Telecommunications Consortium. Trippe also sits on the board of directors for Evocative, Inc., an eBusiness services and solutions provider based in Berkeley, California.
