About
Mission
My mission is to empower small businesses, nonprofits, and women-owned enterprises by providing tailored, innovative marketing solutions. I strive to help them grow, thrive, and connect with their communities through personalized, strategic, and “feel-good” marketing that inspires positive change and long-term success.
Market Me Maine’s mission has three shining components:
Partner with small businesses to strengthen their presence and foster meaningful connections with their customers and communities, contributing to the growth of Maine’s local economy.
A commitment to inclusivity, offering dedicated services to women-owned and disadvantaged businesses.
Proudly champion nonprofits and causes that make a lasting, positive impact on Maine’s communities and the lives of its people.
Meet the Marketer Behind Market Me Maine…
First and foremost, I’m a true-blue Mainer. Originally from the beautiful coastal region of Southern Maine, I spent my childhood in charming Kennebunkport, and I proudly tossed my cap at Kennebunk High School so many (too many!) years ago. I received my bachelor of arts degree in communication from the University of Southern Maine in Portland, where I studied media and marketing and also earned a minor degree in English.
For the past two decades, I’ve worked in corporate marketing, including leadership roles and at nonprofit organizations. Throughout this period, I’ve collected a treasure trove of experience, knowledge, and skills that have shaped me into the well-rounded marketer I am today.
I bring a dynamic blend of marketing expertise that combines creativity with strategic tenacity and a mindset to supercharge business growth! My skills in crafting narratives and understanding market trends help me communicate brand values and engage customers effectively.
Now that I’m living the dream with MMM, I’m dedicated to sprinkling some magic on Maine’s small businesses. I call it Feel Good Marketing, as it’s all about doing good with work I enjoy in the state that I love! My heart sings as I boost Maine’s local economy, lend a hand to start-ups finding their footing, and champion women-owned businesses and nonprofits. (Woo!)
Whether it’s helping you develop your brand by designing captivating logos and crafting compelling content, or honing in on business analysis, website optimization, and social media — whatever your unique needs may be — my goal is that every bit of marketing magic that I deliver truly stands out to your audience and keeps customers coming back for more!
What makes Market Me Maine shine brighter than the competition? Staying true to its mission, plus the personal attention, affordability, and fun that I deliver when you choose to work with me!
Much kindness and gratitude—
Shelley Porter
