Happy Valentine’s Day from your favorite marketing crew! 💘

This Valentine’s Day, we’re talking about love languages, so here are ours:

- Open communication: So you can always know what’s going on in our lives, and more importantly, with your projects.
- Clear goals: What are we? Let’s talk about it and make sure we’re working toward the same outcomes.
- Authenticity, always: No catfishing here, what you see is what you get. We show up as ourselves, and we want you to do the same!

Consider this our love letter to working with people who value the partnership. Here’s to another year of strong relationships and creating more great things, together. ❤️

We’re joining the National Shutdown this Friday in response to the ongoing violence of immigration enforcement that is traumatizing the country and the beloved community we are part of here in Maine. This is not a business-as-usual moment, and we believe it’s important for us to stand clearly on the side of human
rights and human dignity. We also stand in solidarity with our retail and service industry clients who will be striking this Friday—as well as those who cannot. For more information, visit nationalshutdown.org.

We spent 2025 helping clients tell their stories—each one different, each one specific to where they were and what they needed.⁠
⁠
New home decor store Baske needed to carve out distinct territory for curated home goods while maintaining the high quality customers expect from sister brands Bliss and Little. Field needed their digital experience to finally match their fine art florals—streamlining local delivery and adding flexible a la carte ordering with branding that reflects who they are. Regional lifestyle publication Maine the Way needed to deepen their existing commitment to quality storytelling and an authentic sense of place. Whitten Architects, entering their fourth decade, needed to honor legacy while recommitting to their founding principle of designing homes that live in harmony with nature.⁠
⁠
We're grateful to have partnered with brands who were willing to dig deep to develop something that truly reflects who they are.

As we head into 2026, we're reflecting on what makes our work meaningful: genuine connections, the magic of collaborating toward something bigger, and those satisfying moments when everything clicks into place.

Thank you to everyone who's been part of our journey—clients, collaborators, and community. We're grateful for your trust and partnership.

Here's to 2026 and all the puzzles we'll piece together. 🧩

The world of marketing is constantly in flux, but don’t worry—we’ve been keeping an eye on things. We love a good trend as much as the next guy, and here’s what we’ve been seeing lately.

Authenticity over absolute perfection: Behind-the-scenes chaos, unfiltered takes filmed from the driver’s seat of your pickup truck, founder-led content, and advice that actually means something. People want to see who’s behind the companies they love, and we love that.

In-app shopping: “Where did you get that?” “TikTok shop!” is becoming a part of the general public’s common vernacular, and that buzz is starting to encompass Instagram, too. Shopping without having to leave the app? HUGE.

Community, community, community: You don’t need to go massively viral anymore. The brands that are winning are engaging with small, tight-knit communities that show up and stick around. Quality over quantity is winning.

Your brand is the face of your business, the first thing potential customers see. Sometimes that face needs a refresh—but how can you know when it’s time for a change? Here are the key signs your business needs a rebrand:

🎯 Your target audience has shifted but your messaging hasn't caught up
📱 Your visuals are outdated and no longer serve your business
🔄 Your brand doesn't reflect who you are as a company
❌ You're attracting customers who aren't the perfect fit

If any of these resonate, it might be time for a strategic rebrand. Together we can create a brand that truly represents your vision and values, all while positioning your business for growth.

We can feel fall starting to creep in, but we still have a few weeks of summer left in Maine. When the late summer heat returns, our team knows exactly where to cool off! Here are our go-to spots--from a day at the beach soaking up the sun to a few hours in the air-conditioned public library, looking for a good book. 😎✨⁠
