Expanding Our Team with New Talent

At Anania Media, we’re always keeping an eye out for new talent in the digital advertising space around Maine and New England. Sometimes that means being ready and open to expanding our own internal team. When you’re a small business like us, the latter can be a little daunting. But when you find a great fit for both company culture and advancement in the field, new team members can make all the difference.

Ellie Roy, Digital Marketing Specialist

In October 2020, we were happy to welcome our newest employee, Ellie Roy! Ellie is a recent graduate of Boston University, where she finished her degree in three years with a major in English and a minor in Cinema & Media Studies. She has published two short fiction stories in literary magazines and is currently working on her first novel. At Anania Media, she focuses on copywriting and social media project management, and she hopes to grow into a senior editorial role as the company continues to advance.

Ellie is humbled to have been given this opportunity amid all the challenges that 2020 has brought, and has hit the ground running with all our clients and their many projects. She runs her own author website, where you’ll find all her work, and you can also find her on Twitter and Instagram. Welcome to the team, Ellie!

Hello, we’re here. We’re good, an update from Anania Media.

This has been a tough time for small businesses, and marketing agencies are not immune. We feel fortunate in a lot of ways, as we are in a better position than similar agencies and for right now, we’re good. This has a lot to do with how we’ve structured our agency and our incredible clients supporting us. We wanted to take this opportunity to fill you in on a couple of things.

We’re doing everything we can to help our clients who are struggling during this time. We’ve seen this with clients in the travel and hospitality industries. It’s been rewarding to see our efforts having success in promoting alternatives to their main revenue streams by leveraging social media advertising. If you know anyone struggling in these industries, let us know. We can be a resource by offering guidance and advice.

Our team is being given the option to work remotely. As an agency that embraces technology, we’ve had this capability for a while and this will not slow us down. We can also be a resource for individuals who may be new to this concept.

Although we are better shape than what we’re seeing with similar agencies, some key projects and accounts have been paused. If you are in a position to go forward with a marketing project that’s been on the back-burner let us know, we’re ready to take it on.

Lastly, I will let you know that a new Anania Media will be emerging from the crisis, this has been in the making for a while. We’re redoing our website, improving our process and ready to take our agency to the next level. Through our efforts and support, we will help our clients, friends and families through these uncertain times.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

Welcome to Maine: Part Two

by Leave a Comment

One of the best parts about working with Maine-based clients is having the opportunity to travel around our great state, taking in the unique sites and sounds of each community.

A few months ago, we released Welcome to Maine: Part One, which featured some of our favorite drone clips that were captured during our travels around the state. Now, we’re excited to share with everyone Welcome to Maine: Part Two.

We weren’t able to get to every corner of our great state, but we do hope you enjoy part two of our favorite Maine-based drone clips.

by Leave a Comment

The Anania Media team had lots to celebrate in 2018 — a year that saw tremendous growth for the company. We hired a full-time videographer, we began working with numerous new clients, and continued to improve the quality of our products and services, notably video production.

Video marketing is an evolving craft, and our team dedicates the time and effort needed to evolve with it. From designing stronger visuals to arranging more engaging narratives, our staff is determined to ensure each video is optimized to fit your needs.

With that being said, we are beyond excited to share our 2018 sizzle reel. These clips (beyond being some of our personal favorites) demonstrate the year-long evolution of our production capabilities, and we were honored to have had the chance to provide these visuals for our various clients. We hope you enjoy!
