As you may know, Broadreach PR has moved our offices to 19 Commercial St. in Portland, ME. This is awesome for so many reasons (check out Joanne’s top Ten here), but one especially cool thing is that we make it a point to have team lunches at a different Portland restaurant a few times a month.

As I enter my senior year as a student at the University of Maine, Orono, I’m proud to have taken on a student internship at Broadreach Public Relations this summer.

The world can seem to be a blur of disconnected images, words and messages.
