Sproutreach recently had the pleasure of designing a series of banners celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Northern Essex Community College. The banners are displayed at various outdoor and indoor locations throughout the college’s Haverhill Campus, and were designed to complement the campus existing signage.

Recycling recently (finally) got a lot easier for residents of Haverhill, MA. Effective July 5, 2010, residents no longer need to separate paper & cardboard from glass, plastics, and metal. Instead, all recyclables can simply be thrown in the same container, then placed at the curbside for collection every other week.

No more sorting, no more Saturday trips to the Recycling Center, no more excuses!

Sproutreach is pleased to have played a part in this exciting new program by creating the outreach materials recently mailed to city residents. Each of the city’s nearly 30,000 households was issued a packet containing a tri-fold brochure with the program’s guidelines and a tear-off collection schedule, a large sticker to label a recycling container, and a letter from the Mayor.

Our studio also created a website for the program, HaverhillRecycles.org. The site is designed to serve as an online guide to the program, a collection calendar, a resource for additional information, and a place for community feedback and interaction.

The new logo we designed for Haverhill Recycling, shown above, was donated to the project as an expression of our support for this important local initiative.

The website, as well as the printed outreach materials, were all funded by Team Haverhill —the driving force behind this expanded recycling initiative. Team Haverhill is an independent, volunteer action group dedicated to making Haverhill a better place to live, learn, work and play.

I’m pleased to share news that some of my work is included in the recently released Big Book of Self Promotion, (S. Stephens, 2009, HarperCollins Publishers). Despite it’s title, the book has hundreds of examples of work created for clients, including a chapter, titled “Its All About the Event”, devoted to materials created to promote events. That is where you’ll find the two pieces of mine in the book (shown below). They were both created for the 2007 Amica Insurance Breakers Marathon, held in Newport, RI, a fundraiser event to benefit the Providence Ronald McDonald House.
