Anchour grows to 30 and earns two workplace honors
Ad Age ranked Anchour third among U.S. marketing agencies with fewer than 200 employees. The agency also placed second among small businesses in Maine’s 2023 workplace rankings.
Lewiston, Maine
Ten people joined Anchour in 2023, bringing our team in Lewiston, Maine, to 30. The new roles included creative and design directors, a strategy director, a UI designer, a front-end developer, and an account manager.
The team brought experience from national and global agencies, while most continued to live locally and work out of our Lewiston headquarters.
Two workplace honors
In January 2024, Ad Age’s Best Places to Work placed Anchour third in its category for U.S. marketing agencies with fewer than 200 employees. The recognition followed a second-place finish in the small-business category of the 2023 Best Places to Work in Maine.
“We work hard to foster a culture that rewards people’s creativity and individuality,” said Stephen Gilbert, Anchour’s CEO.
At the time, the agency offered summer Fridays, paid leave, professional development allowances, health coverage, and a 401(k) match.
The work behind the growth
Over its first decade, Anchour worked with Maine companies including Marden’s, Agren, and Dead River Company, alongside national clients such as Ubisoft, Amway, and Earnest. The new hires expanded the team working across brand strategy, design, web development, and marketing.
By the start of 2024, the agency had also begun using AI across much of its work. “We’re excited to offer new services and innovative strategies to our clients in Maine, helping them grow their businesses in ways they never thought possible,” Gilbert said.
