Most businesses are adrift with their marketing.
Branding, websites, photo & video, and the strategy to hold it all together — for the businesses that are great at what they do and scattered in how they show up.
The logo from three identities ago. The website that proudly says "last updated 2014." Posts that show up whenever someone remembers. None of it is your fault — running the business is the job. The marketing just slipped its mooring.
That's the whole reason we exist. Adrift Creative is the fixed point: one studio for your brand, your site, your photos, and the plan that ties them together — so you stop drifting and start showing up like you mean it.
We named ourselves after the problem. Bold, we know — but at least you know we get it.
In good company — trusted by Maine's finest, and a few from away
Five vendors who don't talk to each other is how brands drift in the first place. We keep it under one roof.
Logo, color, type — the whole system. The stuff that makes a five-person shop look like it's been around for fifty. →
Designed, built, and actually maintained. We retire the "last updated 2014" footer for good. →
Documentary-style photo and film that looks like your business on its best day — because it is. →
A steady drumbeat instead of a post every leap year. Planned, made, and scheduled so you don't have to think about it. →
Where to spend, what to say, and how you'll know it's working. The compass behind everything above. →
We dig into your business, your customers, and what's actually been pulling you off course.
Strategy and positioning. The plan you'll recognize, because it sounds like you — not a buzzword salad.
Branding, site, photo, film — built with a maker's hands, not a drag-and-drop template.
We launch, then keep it steady. We don't vanish the second the invoice clears.
Full identity and site for a coastal restaurant that needed to match the food.
Brand film and photography for an outfitter, shot on location.
An identity and a site people actually read to the end.
Logo, site, and truck signage that finally all speak the same language.
Adrift grew out of Coreshot — years of shooting, editing, and building brands for businesses up and down the Maine coast. Same hands, new mast.
We're not a big agency, and that's the point. You get the people actually doing the work — not an account manager and a long game of telephone. We show up, we tell you the truth, and we make you look better than you thought you could.
Weathered, not polished. Local, not from a stock photo. The most reliable outfit on the dock.
They took our mess of a brand and made it look like we actually have our act together. Bookings are up and I stopped dreading our website.
First time our marketing felt like one thing instead of five. The film alone was worth it.
Fast, honest, and they didn't talk down to me once. Rare combination.
Because naming ourselves "We're Pretty Good At This LLC" felt presumptuous. Also: every business drifts a little. We're the thing that holds it steady. The name's the problem — the work is the fix.
We won't make you summer here. But we do love a local, and we know this market cold. If you're "from away," we still pick up — distance hasn't been an issue since the invention of email.
Depends on the job. Some folks need a logo and a site; others need the whole operation rebuilt. We'll give you a real number, not a "starting at" wink. Tell us what you're after.
Yes. We'll also gently ask why. (We're kidding. Mostly. It's your logo — we'll make it sing at any size.)
Probably. Brand, web, photo, film, social, strategy — it's all under one roof. If it's genuinely not our lane, we'll point you to someone good. No drifting you in circles.
Tell us where your marketing's been slipping. We'll tell you, honestly, how we'd fix it — no pressure, no jargon.
Opens your email, pre-written. Old-fashioned, we know — but it works.
