About Us

people_350.jpgWe help quality organizations find their unique voice.

We’re a group of innovative strategists, creatives, fundraisers, relationship builders, programmers, and copywriters who enjoy our work helping quality organizations get noticed for what they do.

Our strategy is to step back and find out what you’re trying to accomplish, who you’re trying to reach and what you’re trying to communicate. Then we can work with you in an informed and strategic way to meet your communication needs.

History

Encompass was formed in 1999 with the merger of two companies, Sanborn Marketing Group and Lead the Horse to Water Graphic Design. We have chosen to grow slowly and steadily to maintain our quality standards and client service. We enjoy a personal rapport with our clients and are pleased to say that we have worked with many of them since our inception.

Location

We are proud to be located in the heart of downtown Auburn, Maine, where we enjoy good neighbors, nearby restaurants, a scenic river walkway and community activities and services, all within easy walking distance.

Philosophy

We believe in collaboration with clients, with our staff, with the community, and with our trusted vendors. We like to work in a team environment with interesting people who both enjoy, and are committed to, what they do to achieve results.

We consider non-profits and businesses to be two sides of the same coin. Each provides valuable services, products and jobs to the community. When both succeed, communities thrive. We strive to support each with our expertise and by fostering sustainable relationships between the two that are mutually beneficial.

Our goal is not to be the biggest firm in Maine, but the one with the greatest value and sense of purpose.
