WHO WE ARE

STATEWIDE COVERAGE OF MAINE FAMILY-OWNED COMMITTED TO RELEVANT NEWS Business Friendly

The BDN is a news media organization committed to serving the people of Maine.

Our wide range of print products and delivery platforms provide timely information to our audiences.

We have been helping small, medium and large businesses connect with customers since 1889.

Generations of Mainers know to look to us when they need goods and services. Our staff is dedicated to working with you to meet all your advertising needs.

WHERE WE LIVE

We’re headquartered in Bangor, Maine, though our employees choose to live, work and enjoy Maine’s quality of life in many communities across the state.

Maine is known for its numerous unique characteristics, including significant natural resources, rugged beauty and independent, hard-working people. The quality of life in Maine is highly valued by residents across all demographics. Additionally, it’s appreciated by thousands who call Maine home during the summer and enjoyed by the many more who take advantage of the four-season recreational opportunities Maine offers.

The Bangor and Portland metropolitan areas serve as major commerce centers, and many other vibrant shopping communities are located throughout the state. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 1.3 million people live in Maine and occupy more than 729,400 households.

Beginning in the Spring, this number is significantly bolstered as “snowbirds” and tourists flock here to enjoy all that Maine has to offer. In 2016, retail sales exceeded $20 billion.

Our journalists are located strategically around the state to cover news that matters to Maine readers. From the St. John Valley, to the largest cities, to the coastal beaches, we provide award-winning articles and photographs across several print and digital sources.

Events marketing opportunities

“You’ll never guess what I learned today!”

And they’ll remember who brought them that experience.”

The BDN Events team produces engaging in-person experiences that inform, inspire and connect.

Three out of four consumers are more likely to do business with a brand that has provided them with a memorable experience. After attending a BDN event, attendees will go home and say, “You’ll never guess what I learned today!” And they’ll remember who brought them that experience.

We invite sponsors for both series and single events. Our events include:

Dirigo Speaks A series of thoughtful conversations throughout the year with civic leaders, changemakers, artists and business leaders shaping Maine’s future, moderated by BDN journalists. 10-12 events produced annually.

16 Counties A series of workshops and trainings throughout the state delving into key broadband and digital literacy concepts.

Beginning late spring 2018. plus more in the works!

The BDN Events team welcomes your ideas for impactful events.

Our In Clover NEIPA is a cloudy beer that is equal parts citrus and bitterness. A traditional pale malt base combined with a wheat and oat mixture make the beer cloudy to give it that New England style look. The final product is a delicious juicy beer fit for both IPA and fruit beer enthusiasts alike.
