Our Clients

“Waxwing has brought very sound, strategic insights with a hands-on approach to lift the burden of many of our operational challenges, and is a joy to work with. We know there is more that they will bring this year and into the future to our sustained growth.”

Shirley McAlpine, Founder of Shirley McAlpine & Associates

  • Brooklin Boat Yard

    What happens when a 60 year-old company needs to “cross the chasm” from local boatbuilding institution to world-class boatbuilding leader? They hire us to help them.

  • Island Justice

    Island Justice Law is a Stonington-based law practice established in 2022 and founded by John Steed. We helped John create a brand and website to get his name out there.

  • 40West Workspace

    40West Workspace is a coworking business located in Philadelphia, PA. They were suffering from a lack of visibility and brand cohesion, and they didn’t know how to navigate the new environment of social media, web analytics or SEO.

  • O'Brien House

    One thing we love is using our talents to help organizations that are under-resourced. O’Brien House needed updating, rebranding and a new website.

  • Maine Made Relief

    Sometimes, small businesses get stuck in the “idea phase” with no concrete plan to bring that good idea to fruition. That’s where we come in. We brought Maine Made Relief from start-up to success in less than six months.

  • Shirley McAlpine & Associates

    Even a successful, highly accomplished leader needs help chopping the weeds.

    Waxwing provides operational help to keep Shirley moving forward with her vision, so she can focus on her clients.

  • Handworks Gallery

    Headed to a whopping fifty-year anniversary, Handworks needed a refresher.

    We rebranded and created an overall marketing strategy to boost traffic and promote the Handworks mission.

    SEO integration and training were also provided, so the owner could move forward with plenty of knowledge and control over her narrative.

  • Bucklyn Coffee

    After seeing our BBY merch, the owner of Bucklyn approached us about designing and procuring custom merch for his many followers.

    We created whimsical designs for unique merch and designed mock ups for consideration.

  • Blue Hill Workspace

    Partly because it’s our home base, we thought the workspace needed a better website and social media presence.

    We created an updated website and social media accounts, so that BHWS is easy to find. Plus, since the workspace is the hub of so much fun, we added more whimsy and color to this brand. Why not have some fun?

  • Blue Hill Books

    Sometimes it’s something simple a client needs. Blue Hill Books is a thriving local business with a loyal following.

    When life or workforce changes, though, it’s time to reassess. We helped the owner do some financial forecasting. Snap!

  • Quantified Ventures

    Consistent and thorough operational help has helped this Certified B company improve its financial management and human resources.

    For this client, we learned a new software solution and helped to optimize its use throughout QV’s management.

  • The Blue Chill

    What happens when a family wants to launch their new popsicle stand next week?

    We create branding for them on the fly, so they can look fly.

    We created logo, social media templates, and signage design so TBC could launch their new business cohesively. We also taught them the social media ropes, so they could take control of their marketing with confidence.

Caryl Heaton, MD

Maine Venture Fund

“Amy came to my company at a time when business was booming, and I did not have the bandwidth to come up with content for social media. Amy swooped in to tell the story of my business, and she did it in a creative and authentic way that connected to my audience.

This took so much stress off my staff and me, as I knew she had that part of the company on lockdown. As I navigate through the post-Covid world, I sure do miss her creative wit and understanding of digital media.”
