Dear Friends,


It always sneaks up on us – one moment we’re enjoy summertime at the beach and the next we’re prepping the table for Thanksgiving dinner. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, all of us here at Burgess wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude.


It’s been a year of change here at the agency and we couldn’t be more grateful. Grateful for a new office space that returns Burgess to its Portland roots. Grateful for a host of new projects and campaigns that have allowed us to flex our creative muscle and reach new audiences. And, above all else, we’re grateful for the invaluable relationships we have with our clients, professional partners, vendors and community supporters.

Your unwavering support and collaboration have been instrumental in our continued success for well over 35 years, and for that, we are truly thankful. We appreciate the trust you place in us. Simply put, you all make the work we do rewarding day in and day out. It’s exciting to reflect on the changes of this year while also looking ahead to the opportunities to come.


Additionally, our thoughts this holiday week are with our friends and neighbors in the Lewiston area who continue to navigate the aftermath of last month’s heartbreaking tragedy. We hope for healing and comfort during this difficult time and are incredibly proud to support #LewistonStrong.


Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.


Be Well —The Burgess Team
