Examples…

Just some of my work:

Don’t forget social media & blogs.

Bangor Daily News Blog ~ FillTheSteins.com: A group of youngish UMaine alums got together and put our nostalgia to some use!  FillTheSteins.com was a way for us to remember our college days, but also to engage other alumni and create a (somewhat irreverent) community.  FTS was a success, drawing (tacit) support from the Alumni Association and getting picked up by the Bangor Daily News, Maine’s largest daily newspaper! ​From interviews to sports coverage, to history and the arts, Fill The Steins was a way to remember ‘The College of our Hearts Always!’

(Now defunct, but FTS’s archived social media lives on…on X.)

X (formerly Twitter) ~ @PWMPorcupine: When a treasured piece of sculpture went missing from the Portland Jetport, I spotted the opportunity to engage with the local news outlets and community while providing a humorous take on the situation.

The Twitter handle @PWMPorcupine was born, and allowed me to showcase a new style of writing with a “sharp” wit.

Social media ~ #PatStop24 on Instagram, Facebook, and X: Pat’s Pizza, a Maine institution, has been a part of my life since I started going to the original Orono, Maine location before UMaine basketball games with my father.  I’d long wondered the differences between the different locations, and finally, I got to find out!  In 24 hours, we visited each of the 17 Pat’s Pizza locations, having fun on social media and raising nearly $1,500 for the Good Shepherd Food Bank along the way!

News coverage: 2 guys, 24 hours, 17 different Pat’s Pizza locations (News Center Maine)

Social media ~ Iceland National Soccer Team Supporters in Portland, Maine (now defunct): Once the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team was eliminated from World Cup 2018 competition, I was on the lookout for a new squad to support. What better team than the upstart Icelanders, an underdog with a committed fan base, Viking mentality, and a growing relationship with Portland, Maine?!? I started this group of supporters to learn more about the team and to serve as a hub of information about matches and viewing parties.
