About the Project

The Downtown Bangor Partnership (DBP) is seeking proposals from experienced digital marketing agencies to lead an exciting new campaign aimed at increasing awareness of Downtown Bangor.

As a non-profit organization focused on enhancing the vibrancy and visibility of our historic downtown, DBP invites proposals that will help position Downtown Bangor as a premier destination for both locals and visitors.

The goals of the campaign include

  • Increase local engagement and tourism
  • Boost foot traffic to our downtown shops, restaurants, venues, and cultural spaces
  • Celebrate the authentic, quirky, and artistic spirit that makes Downtown Bangor unique

We’re looking for a creative, data-driven agency that can develop and execute a comprehensive digital strategy that promotes Downtown Bangor as:

  • A vibrant hub for art, culture, and community
  • A place to shop, dine, play, and stay
  • A standout Maine destination—not just a stop on the way somewhere else
