CD+M

Based at 1 Spring Point Drive in South Portland, Maine, CD+M works with organizations that need help raising awareness, shaping their communications, and getting more out of ad spend. Marketing plans start from real-world goals rather than templates, with an emphasis on brands that are authentic, offer value, and differentiate themselves enough to cut through competing noise.

The agency's services span brand strategy and positioning, media planning and buying, social and content strategy, website design, video scripts and storyboards, illustration, and print advertising. Duncan Stout, president and strategist, sets direction on client engagements, while Colby Gray, senior account manager with more than ten years of experience, manages day-to-day relationships. Creative direction runs through Mike Yoder, and media planning is led by Theanna Twitchell. Jacquie Driscoll, the art director, brings web design and video production experience to visual work, and Sasha Leland, the digital partner, produces digital ads and short-form video. Bob Cram handles web development across client sites, and Linda Jones, as controller, oversees invoicing and reporting.

Work moves through this team with attention to staying on target, on schedule, and on budget, from initial brand positioning through media buys and finished creative. The combination of a strategist-led account structure, dedicated media director, and in-house art direction, digital production, and web development means brand work, ad placement, and content output are handled without routing each discipline to a separate outside vendor. That structure supports clients working on connected efforts, such as a website redesign paired with a media plan, or a print campaign built alongside social and video content.
