Anchour Named #1 Best Place to Work in Maine (Small Business Category)

Anchour, a Maine-based branding and marketing agency, has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Maine in the small business category (15–49 employees) in 2025, as recognized by Best Companies Group and the Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management.

This recognition highlights more than a great workplace—it affirms Anchour’s belief that the best brand work starts with culture. Known for helping consumer, retail, and purpose-driven brands evolve through strategy, storytelling, and design, Anchour is proud to lead by example.

“We built Anchour to be the kind of place we’d want to work at—and the kind of agency we’d want to hire,” said Josh Pritchard, Partner and President. “That means building trust, leading with care and transparency, and always pushing for great work without burning out the people behind it.”

Best Places to Work in Maine is a research-based program that evaluates companies through both their internal practices and direct employee feedback. The result: a ranked list of employers who foster strong cultures, support growth, and build meaningful environments for their teams.

As an award-winning branding agency in Maine, Anchour has seen steady growth—expanding its national client roster, launching standout campaigns, and evolving legacy brands with clarity and creativity. But internally, success still comes down to one thing: people.

“We know that our work is only as strong as the team behind it,” said Aimee Labbe, Vice President of Client Service. “We are always striving to create an environment where team members feel empowered, valued, and engaged. This award is a powerful reflection of that.”

Maine’s creative and technology sectors have become vital contributors to the state’s economy—fueled by a growing network of high-performing businesses that balance innovation with Maine’s signature craftsmanship and community values. Anchour’s recognition as one of the state’s best workplaces underscores that momentum and highlights the region’s expanding role in the national creative economy.
