Our work with Spinnaker Trust remains one of our favorite examples of what a thoughtful financial services website can do. Their team needed a digital experience that reflected the depth of their expertise while still feeling approachable to the families and organizations they serve.

We focused on clarity and confidence. A calm, intentional visual system rooted in Spinnaker's coastal Portland identity, service pages that speak plainly about wealth management, trustee services, and ESOP work, and a homepage that opens with the question their clients are already thinking about: when you look to the future, what do you see?

We still maintain the site today and continue to support the Spinnaker team with ongoing updates as their organization grows.

A recent video project took us across southern Maine for several days of shooting. Different locations, different setups, and a lot of ground covered for one story. This clip is from Shaw Cherry Hill Farm, a beautiful location right in our backyard, and one of our favorites from the road.

A look at some of the work we got to do for MERIT, Maine's payroll deduction Roth IRA for workers whose jobs do not come with a retirement plan.

We created landing page assets, supporting graphics, and ran a statewide digital campaign to introduce the program to the Mainers and employers it was built for. The goal was simple. Help a state savings program feel approachable and unmistakably Maine, and make it easy for people to find a clear answer to the question they were already asking.

Two years in, Mainers have saved more than 25 million dollars through the program. Proud to have played a part.

This is the time of year we look forward to most. Long days, warm water, and a stretch of summer that feels earned. The Anania family will be at the beach for the Fourth, and the rest of our team, in Maine and around the world, will be doing whatever July looks like where they are.

The Fourth is a good day to remember the things that hold us together. The people who build, the people who teach, the people who show up, the people who disagree and stay at the table anyway. That is the version of the country worth celebrating.

Happy weekend from all of us at Brassbound.

Some shoots feel like work. This one felt like hanging out with friends. Peter and Nate spent a beautiful afternoon out with the team at Horch Roofing for a recent project, and we cannot wait to share what we captured. Big thanks to the Horch crew for making us feel right at home.

A Maine manufacturer was weeks away from taking the company public, and the leadership team needed headshots that looked the part. The catch was a room full of busy executives, calendars packed to the minute, and a single borrowed conference room to work with.

So we brought the studio to them. We turned an ordinary conference room into a clean, professional set, moved each executive through in a few minutes, and photographed the entire team without anyone losing an afternoon. By the time the IPO went live, every leader had a sharp, consistent portrait ready for the prospectus, the press, and their profiles.

Great headshots should not cost you a great deal of time. If your team needs polished, consistent portraits and cannot afford to lose a day to it, we will set up wherever you are and make it painless. Let's talk.

This project with Prosperity Maine remains one of our favorite examples of how a website can reshape the experience of an organization without requiring a full rebrand. Their team needed a clearer, more approachable digital presence to help refugees and immigrants access financial support.

We focused on practical improvements: reorganizing content, simplifying navigation, strengthening calls-to-action, and introducing a refreshed color system that helped modernize the brand. The new site made it easier for users to find the right resources and for donors to understand the impact of the organization’s work.

We still maintain the site today and support the nonprofit with ongoing updates as their services grow.

Professional services firms do a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes. Teams build relationships, show up for clients, solve complex problems, and drive opportunities. But too often, the public presence of the firm does not reflect any of that. Our upcoming webinar will show leaders how to close that gap. CEO Peter Anania will cover a practical framework for aligning internal action with external visibility in a way that strengthens trust and supports growth. Register here: https://bit.ly/4afTrEc

Inactive or inconsistent digital presence reduces trust for 61 percent of buyers. That data point from the Edelman Trust Institute shows up every day in the professional services world. Firms do excellent work, build strong relationships, and rely on referrals, but their public presence does not reflect the quality of what they deliver. When that happens, prospects fill in the gaps for themselves, and trust drops.

We talked about this in detail during our recent webinar, Marketing Without Compromise: Grow Visibility Without Losing Trust. If you missed it, you can watch the replay here: https://bit.ly/4p2ileG. If you prefer the executive summary instead, comment below and we will send it.
