About Michelle Tripp

Michelle Tripp is a freelance writer and communications consultant (marketing and public relations) with a penchant for messaging and storytelling at every level. Since she was a little girl, Michelle has always enjoyed a good story and telling it. Growing up in California’s Bay Area, she roped a number of neighborhood kids into various oddball projects and activities, such as the infamous Fourth of July Parade of ‘84, to creating the “Turtle Creek Gazette” a small, hand-written rag for a cul-de sac cluster of eight homes that was quickly disbanded for “telling too many stories” about the neighbors and their lives. Hey, inquiring minds want to know!

Employing more discretion as an adult, and a publicist for more than 13 years, Michelle has written numerous communiques designed to influence, promote and educate, in addition to securing top-shelf media placement for many of her clients. Always on the lookout for the best positioning and creating strategy that isn’t just a cookie cutter copy of her last client, she ensures that she knows each client and their business better than they know it themselves. That is the most important factor in ensuring tight messaging and a solid marketing strategy. 

Samples of travel, health and other stories are posted here, as well as corporate communications projects as well. More samples are available by hard copy and PDF on request.

There is a creative side to Michelle as well. Always thinking, and always pestered by the inner characters dying to escape her imagination, she is constantly writing to setting them free. Creative writing stories will be posted on an ongoing basis. Feel free to post comments and suggestions. Currently, Michelle is working on a non-fiction parenting book, and various other writing projects.

One more thing, about the flowers. If you don’t tend to your garden or let that idea sprout, you have done a great injustice to yourself. Some of the best and brightest ideas were tiny seeds that with proper care grew into successful projects, companies and and even bigger and better ideas. If we look to the garden and flowers as an inspiration, we will see that flowers like ideas grow best when we help them bloom.
