Serving community
in a new way

A longtime journalist, with a special appreciation for the hyper-small business and nonprofit from my more recent days working at the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Arundel Chamber of Commerce, I approach marketing differently. My work is firmly rooted in journalistic words, pictures/videos and design — my best marketing strategy is your story. That story, that authenticity, your WHY, sells best in our Maine market.

Three years now into my own venture, I take great pride in partnering with local businesses to tell their story at affordable rates while exceeding expectations and together crushing their goals!

YOUR business
is MY business!

I specialize in helping local small businesses and nonprofits increase exposure and develop a stronger community and digital presence with thoughtful, creative marketing in print and digital formats.

What clients are saying

“I could not have been more pleased with the entire project and the resulting publication, thanks to Laura’s outstanding leadership of the effort. From our initial meetings to develop a timeline and communication priorities, to managing all aspects of the project including content development, photographic selection, layout, and proofing, Laura led this project wonderfully, delivering everything we asked for and more on time and in a beautiful design.

Laura was a joy to work with, following up quickly on questions and open issues, and always going above and beyond to find solutions as needed. With projects like this, the hope is that you can partner with someone who is not only talented from a creative standpoint, but also understands from a business standpoint how to manage customer expectations and stay on track, and Laura’s experience and skill make her excellent at both of these core aspects of marketing project management.”

“I can now do my job and know that Laura is taking care of my marketing.
… Our following grew and people kept asking for more. So, she posted more, and people loved the posts. We have more interaction with our guests now than we ever had. I have people arriving and telling me they follow us daily on facebook to see the latest posts.
If I hadn’t brought Laura onboard to manage our social media and more, we would still be fumbling around not knowing what we were doing. Laura keeps me informed but, to be honest, I just let her run with it, as she knows more than I do, and I am always happy.”

Did you ever meet someone who is so passionate about her work that you can only benefit by partnering with her? Laura is that person! Within minutes of meeting her I knew she could take my little knitting business to the next level. I had very small presence in the community selling my products but had no marketing knowledge and a basic website. Laura stepped in and worked her magic enhancing my website, writing articles, designing my logo, and setting me on the path to success. Laura is a joy to work with and goes above and beyond to find solutions that will enhance your business. Thanks to Laura I am now known around town as “The Crazy Hat Lady”!

“Laura’s demeanor and communication skills are what make her so good at what she does. Her
communication begins with being a great listener. I’ve been present when she’s interviewed people for a particular story. She has the ability to make people comfortable and to elicit their thoughts. As a result, she consistently writes captivating stories each month that convey the
essence of the people or businesses that are being highlighted.”
