Anchour Named #1 Best Place to Work in Maine

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.

For Anchour, the recognition reflects a simple belief: great work starts with people who feel supported. The same care the team brings to building brands goes into building a place where people can do their best work.

“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.

The recognition follows a separate honor earlier in 2025, when Anchour was the only Maine company named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces list. Inc. highlighted the agency’s hybrid work model, support for new parents, and flexible holidays—practical ways to help people do great work and live full lives.
