Greater Franklin works to create and retain quality employment opportunities in Franklin County, Maine by attracting new businesses, assisting local employers, and encouraging entrepreneurship.

The Greater Franklin Food Industry Marketing Meetup was a fruitful conversation among farmers, graphic designers, restaurant owners, marketing professionals, coffee slingers, writers, store managers, tree tappers, and aspiring entrepreneurs. The conclusion of the night was that the most enjoyable, effective way to grow our local economy is to bring people together in person, support each other, and inspire each other. And that Morrison Hill Orchard makes really good pizza!

Marketing Meetups are casual conversations about what works, and doesn’t work, when doing business in Western Maine. We talk about websites, Google, social media, AI, writing, pricing, packaging, hiring help, finding customers, finding time, and the universal challenge of making money doing the things we actually like doing.
