For ten years, we've been proud to serve as agency of record for Bruno's Restaurant & Pasta Co., and it's still our favorite place to eat in Portland. Bruno's has been feeding this city for decades, and the brand needed to carry that history into a restaurant, a retail pasta line, and a prepared meals program all at once. We refreshed the identity around the man in the red coat, then built a packaging system that works across every product: handmade ravioli and gnocchi boxes with a color and pattern for each flavor, and sleeves for their ready to heat meals. Whether you're sitting down for dinner or grabbing a box of ravioli to take home, you know it's Bruno's. It's a family we're proud to partner with, and we can't wait for what's next.

Most people don't know that Bancroft Contracting has a marine division. Our job was to change that. Bancroft Marine builds piers, docks, and shoreline structures from Eastport to Portsmouth, backed by the resources of a family-owned contractor that's three generations deep. But awareness was only half the goal. With a growing pipeline of projects, Bancroft is also looking to grow its team, and they want to hire young, sharp talent from Southern Maine. So we built recruiting into the series from the start. We spent a day with their team, interviewing leadership in South Portland and filming active pier assembly at Burnt Island in Boothbay Harbor. The result is a flagship video plus four supporting videos covering their history, careers, growth along the coast, and how they solve tough marine jobs. Every video is built to work double duty, helping win new customers and showing potential hires what it's like to build on the water.

A contractor's brand has to hold up on a jobsite, not just on a screen. For N.S. Giles Foundations, a Maine concrete foundation contractor since 1998, we built an identity that works at every scale: hard hats, fleet wraps, business cards, and a new website that puts their safety record front and center. We extended the system to their sister company, Concrete Craftsmen, so both brands read as one family. Commercial construction and engineering firms are the core of what we do at Brassbound, so we know what GCs, owners, and project teams look for before they pick a sub. That mark should read as established, capable, and ready for the next pour.

Please join us in welcoming Quinton Hastings to Brassbound as our new Account Executive. Quinton comes to us with a background in hospitality and operations management, where he's led teams, run day to day operations, and kept customers coming back in fast paced, high volume environments. That's a lot of what great business development comes down to: reading people well, building real relationships, and following through. A Windham native and Williams College grad, Quinton will be working with businesses across Maine to understand where they want to grow and how Brassbound can help them get there. When he's not at Brassbound, you'll find him coaching the Westbrook Seals Swim Club. Welcome aboard, Quinton.

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.
