The Executive Audit
A diagnostic we often recommend early in an engagement. It gives leadership executive-level clarity on where growth is leaking and where efficiency is available.

The Problem
Most businesses are guessing at what to do online.
Plenty of activity, no clear picture. Patching instead of building.
01
Disconnected
The website, the phone, and the books do not talk to each other
02
Wasted Spend
Ad dollars spent on unproven creative
03
Capped Growth
Growth stalls and nobody can say why
04
Inconsistency
No steady content, no steady posting
What Wasn't Working
Execution Without Strategy
- ×Built assets without context
- ×Reacting instead of planning
- ×No measurable impact

- ✓Build what the business actually needs
- ✓Measure what actually matters
How We Work
Two ways to work with us
A focused project, or an ongoing partnership. Both start with a discovery call.
01 / Project-based
A focused project
A defined engagement, a first date: long enough for both sides to work together and produce measurable results.
- A website build
- A social media and content strategy
- A 3 to 6 month full-service marketing runway
02 / Ongoing
An ongoing partnership
A monthly retainer priced to the size of the company, what it needs, the value delivered, and the deliverables we agree on.
- We work directly with owners and leadership
- We run the marketing and digital functions you do not want to hire for
- Scope and price agreed in writing before work starts
Some projects end with a handoff and training. Other clients keep us as a long-term execution partner. The discovery call is where we figure out which one fits.
Book a Discovery CallThe Model
These look like marketing problems.
They are infrastructure problems.
A website built in 2014. A Google listing nobody has the password to. Fifteen years of project photos sitting on phones. A customer list that is really three spreadsheets. Reports that arrive every month and explain nothing. Different vendors built different pieces over a decade and nobody owns the whole system. We work across three connected capabilities, and they compound: each one makes the others worth more.
- 01
Digital Contractor
We fix and build the digital systems a business depends on.
In practice: the site gets rebuilt, and the lead capture behind it is wired end to end, so an inquiry reaches a person and gets recorded instead of disappearing.
Where most engagements start
- 02
Digital Infrastructure
We connect website, content, data systems and AI into an operating infrastructure.
In practice: one connected system rather than a pile of accounts. The site, the content, the customer records and the dashboard that reports on all of it, on logins and data the company owns.
Builds on the contractor work
- 03
Organizational Intelligence
We turn what your company knows into infrastructure your company can use.
In practice: decades of job history, project photos and estimating knowledge become something the business runs on, so the next project starts further ahead than the last one did.
Runs on both
These are not packages to pick from. Like a general contractor, we build whichever combination the business actually needs: the creative, the infrastructure, and the organization behind them.

Common Questions
Straight answers
What does MAINERMEDIA do?
MAINERMEDIA is a business consultancy for established companies. The consulting gets implemented in the systems themselves, at three levels. Level 1, Digital Contractor: we fix and build the digital systems a business depends on, starting with the website and the lead capture behind it. Level 2, Digital Infrastructure: we connect the website, content, data systems and AI into one operating infrastructure the company owns. Level 3, Organizational Intelligence: we turn what your company already knows, the project history, the photos, the estimating knowledge, into infrastructure your company can use. One point of accountability from strategy through execution.
What is the Executive Audit?
The Executive Audit is MAINERMEDIA's signature diagnostic service - a system-level evaluation that identifies where attention, effort, and money are leaking in your digital ecosystem. You receive a Current State Analysis, Constraints & Gaps identification, Prioritized Actions ranked by impact, and a Strategic Roadmap with clear next steps.
What size businesses does MAINERMEDIA work with?
The company we go looking for is established and owner-run: roughly $5 million to $30 million in revenue, ten or more years old, ten to a hundred employees, with a real-world reputation its digital presence understates. That is who we target, not a gate on who we serve. The current roster includes smaller companies and several multigenerational Maine businesses. The deciding factor has always been the owner, not the revenue line: someone serious about durable infrastructure rather than a quick tactical fix.
What results has MAINERMEDIA achieved?
In a case study with Nate Winter Studios, achieved with our partner Nate Winter's studio as the proving ground, MAINERMEDIA's consultation guided a content system that generated 37.7 million total organic views in 12 months with zero paid advertising spend. This included 14.6 million Instagram views, 9.5 million YouTube views, 8.8 million Facebook views, and 4.8 million TikTok views, along with 760,000+ interactions and 100,000+ new followers.
How does MAINERMEDIA's approach work?
MAINERMEDIA follows a three-phase approach: Diagnose (uncover what's really happening in your digital ecosystem), Design (architect systems built for compounding growth), and Enable (implement and continuously optimize). Strategy always comes first before any execution.
Where is MAINERMEDIA located?
MAINERMEDIA is rooted in Maine and works remotely, without a central office. Most of our clients are established Maine businesses. Contact is by email at [email protected] or through the contact form on this site.
