Maine's Dedicated Digital Marketing Partner
From Portland's creative economy to Bangor's regional hub, Augusta's government sector to Bar Harbor's tourism industry - we help Maine businesses grow with strategies that deliver measurable results.
Why Maine is a Great Place for Business
Understanding your market is key to marketing success. Here's the economic landscape:
Maine’s economy combines traditional industries with a growing innovation sector, generating a GDP of approximately $75 billion. The state’s iconic lobster fishing industry remains a cornerstone, with Maine producing over 80% of the nation’s lobster catch. However, the economy has diversified significantly, with Portland emerging as a creative and technology hub attracting startups, digital agencies, and remote workers seeking Maine’s renowned quality of life.
Healthcare has become Maine’s largest employment sector, with major hospital systems like MaineHealth and Northern Light Health serving as economic anchors across the state. The growing senior population has created opportunities in healthcare services, assisted living, and medical technology. Meanwhile, tourism contributes over $6 billion annually to Maine’s economy, with visitors drawn to Acadia National Park, coastal communities, and the state’s outdoor recreation opportunities.
Maine’s business environment is characterized by strong community connections, high quality of life rankings, and increasing investment in broadband infrastructure to support remote work. The state offers various tax incentives for businesses, including the Pine Tree Development Zone Program, which provides significant benefits for qualified businesses. Portland’s food and beverage scene has gained national recognition, creating opportunities for restaurants, craft breweries, and food producers.
Growing Sectors
Digital Landscape
Maine businesses are rapidly embracing digital marketing, driven by the state’s tourism industry and growing tech sector in Portland. With over 37 million visitors annually, Maine tourism businesses compete fiercely for online visibility, particularly during the peak summer and fall foliage seasons. Local search is critical, as visitors often search for accommodations, restaurants, and activities while planning trips or during their stay.
Portland’s emergence as a creative hub has raised the bar for digital sophistication among Maine businesses. The city’s restaurants, retailers, and professional services compete with nationally-recognized brands for attention. Meanwhile, rural Maine businesses increasingly rely on e-commerce and digital marketing to reach customers beyond their immediate geography, particularly for artisanal products and specialty goods.

Digital Marketing Challenges Maine Businesses Face
Businesses in Maine face unique digital marketing challenges. Here's what we hear most often - and how we solve it:
Extreme Tourism Seasonality
Maine tourism sees dramatic peaks in summer and fall, with many businesses generating most of their revenue in just 4-5 months.
We develop strategies that maximize peak season visibility while building year-round brand presence and off-season revenue streams.
Rural Connectivity Challenges
Many Maine businesses operate in areas with limited broadband, making consistent digital marketing more challenging.
Our campaigns are optimized for all connection speeds, and we manage your digital presence so you can focus on running your business.
Competing with National Brands
Large hospitality chains and national retailers have marketing budgets that dwarf local Maine businesses.
We leverage local SEO, authentic storytelling, and Maine's unique appeal to help local businesses compete effectively against national players.
Attracting Year-Round Talent
Maine businesses struggle to find marketing expertise locally, particularly outside the Portland metro area.
As your outsourced marketing team, we provide big-agency expertise with personalized attention tailored to Maine's unique business culture.
