About Us

We are an issues firm.

Our work is focused on achieving economic development, a better quality of life and a dynamic future for the state of Maine and beyond.

Our clients are the people and organizations bringing new ideas to the table for our state, our nation and our world. They are at work building the leadership necessary to achieve positive change, and we are working to provide them with all the right tools for their success.

Since our founding in 1986, we have had the privilege of working with a broad array of clients including some of Maine’s most recognized utilities and financial institutions; large and small manufacturers; innovative healthcare organizations, retail establishments; large landowners and developers; entrepreneurs and start-up small businesses; non-profits and academic institutions; and state and local governments.

Our expertise spans every facet of communications management. We offer:

• Direct access to key opinion leaders and elected officials;
• Proven experience building public support at the local level, and regulatory support at every level of government;
• A deep knowledge of policy and regulatory issues;
• A successful track record providing winning strategies;
• Excellent skills for all aspects of public relations and marketing: graphic design, effective copywriting, presentation materials, and a healthy respect for our clients’ budgets.

We are members of the Northeast Public Relations Partnership - seven public relations firms from New England and New York, which serves to broaden access to national & international media. The Partnership provides for effective exchange of state-of-the-art communications strategies, and an inherent benefit to all of our clients.
