The People Behind the Work

FOUNDER
Dylan Gillis - Founder of MAINERMEDIA

Dylan Gillis

Founder & Principal

Dylan Gillis is the founder of MAINERMEDIA, a Portland, Maine-based business growth and digital systems company focused on helping businesses make sense of an increasingly digital world.

Over the past decade, Dylan has worked independently alongside entrepreneurs, builders, artists, and organizations across Maine, developing brand strategy, digital presence, and storytelling systems designed for long-term visibility rather than short-term marketing trends.

His work bridges strategy and execution, combining content production, analytics, and real-world business understanding to help brands communicate clearly and grow sustainably.

As a digital native and self-directed operator, Dylan approaches marketing as an ongoing process of alignment between brand identity, community, and technology. His experience working across industries has provided a broad perspective on how modern businesses build trust, attract attention, and adapt to rapidly evolving digital environments.

Who We Are

MAINERMEDIA was built by a group of practitioners who chose to build here.

MAINERMEDIA is a Maine agency. Dylan Gillis leads every engagement. Nate Winter is his partner on creative and growth. Around them is a network of specialist contractors, in video, photography, design, development and strategy, brought in per project. No central office: a small senior team assembled around each job, chosen for operating experience rather than titles.

Marketing has gotten fragmented. More content, more platforms, a faster pace, and no clear line back to business results. Our job is to make it clear: look at the whole system first, tie every piece of content and every build to a business objective, and run it as one framework instead of a pile of vendors who each own a piece.

Maine is changing. More people are moving here, more capital is flowing in, and technology is reshaping how businesses operate, hire, and compete. If that change is coming, it should benefit the people and businesses who are already here.

We work with owners and leadership teams of established companies, the ones that grew on reputation and relationships, to build the websites, content, and digital systems that make the business easier to run, easier to grow, and easier to trust.

If you help good businesses win,
entire communities become stronger.
