Public Relations and Media efforts pay off for Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce


The Rockland-Thomaston area is now recognized as a major destination in New England. We have drawn the attention of the nation's media.

The region's public relations success is due in large part to Sharon Kitchens of SKPR and Nancy Marshall Communications - the state's public relations consultant. Not having enough resources to mount a traditional advertising campaign in the primary target markets, the visibility the area has gained through articles and news stories is enormously more powerful than any ad campaign that they could have conducted.

So far this spring the area has been covered by the following (known) media sources:

Architectural Digest

Cottage Living

Coastal Living (2)

Boston Magazine, Bangor Metro Magazine

Gourmet

Town & Country

Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel

Kansas City Star

Boston Globe

Boston Herald

Newsweek

Downeast

Maine Boats-Homes and Harbors

Portland Magazine

Travel & Leisure

the Food Network

Maine Public Radio

Travel Talk Radio

National Geographic Adventure
