Our team isn’t simply driven by making compelling creative work (though we’re pretty good at it), we’re more interested in the impact that our creative work can have on the world around us. That’s why Anania Bailey has always dedicated time to work alongside organization’s whose missions make a direct impact in our community. The past month has been a wonderful reminder of that commitment as we had an opportunity to work with Spurwink Services and The Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, to produce videos and sponsor their cornerstone events.

Spurwink’s Humanitarian Gala is an annual celebration of their commitment to the community and serves as a major fundraiser for their work. It offers the community a chance to come together to celebrate Spurwink’s values and the 2022 humanitarian award recipient Margo Walsh of MaineWorks and Maine Recovery Fund.

As both a corporate partner and the production team for the evening’s videos, we had the good fortune to bring their ‘Mosaic’ theme to life by showing how volunteers, donors, clients and team members come together to make the diverse pattern that is Spurwink.

We also had an opportunity to serve as an in-kind sponsor for The Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce’s annual award ceremony, Imagine Portland.

We made five videos for the event, including a short-form doc and featurettes on each of this year’s awardees. While the work was done on a very tight timeline with tighter coordination, we were able to make some crowd-pleasing pieces that highlighted the incredible work that the Portland business community is doing.
