Greening The Gateway Cities

In August of 2018, Shields was awarded a State Contract for DCR's Greening the Gateway Cities Program. During our initial kick-off meeting we learned that we would be helping to brand and launch their “phase one" pilot program. To be a part of this program, recipients needed to be a resident or business in certain zones of Chelsea, Fall River, and Holyoke MA. If you qualify, DCR provides free trees to increase tree canopy cover in these select urban residential areas.

We've Been Busy Making The State Look Great!

Over the past few years, Shields has had the pleasure of working with a variety of state agencies including The Massachusetts Environmental Trust, The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT), The Massachusetts Film Office, The Massachusetts Sports Office, The Massachusetts Office of Marine Fisheries and The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. We recognize that in order for creative to succeed on the state level, it needs to be purposeful, great looking and distinct. It has to address the agency's objectives, stand out and connect with the public.
