We are a turn-key event marketing agency. We combine creative, strategic, and operational expertise to offer our clients a full suite of capabilities. We've built real systems and developed resources to support these capabilities. Event marketing is equal parts art and science. We believe in the criticality of both.

We are an agency that believes in the power of event marketing and a group of event professionals that passionately pursues smart solutions to our clients' needs. A collection of individuals that understands the awesome responsibility associated with bringing a brand to life in front of its audience.

We are parents. We have a busload of children, from grown adults (or so they tell us) to diaper dandies too young for the bus. This agency is our present and their future. We bring the same commitment, conscience, and care to our work that we do to our families.

We are event veterans. Leveraging a combined 67 years of event marketing experience, we've developed thousands of events in over 15 countries for hundreds of brands with 1 objective: Build smart events. In the process, we've flown, driven, walked, and crawled 3,257,000 miles. We've worn out a few pairs of shoes along the way. And the journey has just begun.

We are Mainers. We celebrate the ocean, the mountains, the rivers and lakes, the sea gulls, the fishermen, the cobblestone, the warm summers and white winters that make this place unique. We love where we live, and we think it shows in our work.

We are independent. We strongly believe that arbitrary profit goals and conglomerate bureaucracy ultimately threaten an agency's commitment to client service. We understand that strong client relationships are the product of kept promises. We believe that client satisfaction is the best measure of agency success, and we set high standards for ourselves.

We are a team. Together, we are committed to winning in an industry in which our passion, dedication, integrity, skill, and experience are the key to victory. Business is competitive. We wear our helmets to work everyday. We are ready to put it all on the line for your brand if you're ready to believe in ours.

Right now, your target audience is buying something. Somewhere. Their behavior is driven by personality, defined by environment, and directly linked to brand perception. Their decisions – about the consumer products they use, the business partners they choose, the services their organizations rely on – are complex. Their reactions – to product launches, sales pitches, and other solicitations – are unpredictable. And while you strive to explain their behaviors through rigid research and analysis, they live their lives in three dimensions. Do your marketing solutions recognize this?

emg3 believes in the Power of 3®, the unique touchpoints where your brand, your audience, and their environment converge. emg3 builds smart events designed to target, create, and leverage these touchpoints. Sometimes for consumer products. Sometimes for business-to-business applications. Always in three dimensions. It’s the core of our philosophy, the focus of our capabilities, and the essence of what we do.

It's why we call ourselves emg3.

On behalf of everyone at emg3, thank you for taking the time to explore our website. Within its pages, I hope we’ve captured the essence of an agency and group of people worthy of further exploration and firsthand experience; ours is a story best told in person, shared among people who may ultimately rely on each other to build businesses and protect reputations.  As a service provider, partner, or place to work, we recognize the critical role that character and commitment play in selecting those we rely on.
 
We also recognize the limitations of this medium and more traditional communication channels; we’re all seeking something deeper than an internet connection. In many ways, it’s our dissatisfaction with such limitations that fueled the birth of emg3.  As traditional media continue their cognitive assault on our collective senses and emerging tactics lead to new land speed records on the information superhighway, our focus remains on a series of simple and timeless truths. People live, work, shop and play in local communities.  They rely heavily on family, friends, colleagues and peers to determine, develop, and demonstrate their preferences. They have needs and wants, frequently indistinguishable from each other and often greater than themselves. Ultimately, their lives as consumers are continuously informed by these experiences – and the products and services they choose are judged in this context. Brands have many tools at their disposal to influence these experiences. Only one focuses on the experience itself.
 
At emg3, we build smart events.  We do so because we know that “differentiation,” “innovation,” “style,” “performance,” “personality,” and “quality” are just conceptual wallpaper when not rooted in experience.  We do so because we believe the thoughtful convergence of brand, consumer, and environmental attributes moves people (and business objectives). We do so because brands have a story to tell that goes beyond images and sound bytes.  We look forward to hearing yours.  Enjoy the first chapter of ours…

emg3 leverages a unique approach to build smart events. At the core of our approach is a focus on the key 'building blocks' of audience experience. Programs built with these 'building blocks' in mind allow brands to enhance their audiences' level of emotional investment, driving sales in the process.
