About Anchour
What is Anchour?
Anchour is "a hard-working marketing agency that transforms brands into industry leaders." It calls itself a strategic, creative partner to growing brands, driving results "through an integrated approach to branding, design, website development, and marketing." Its work runs from brand strategy, positioning, architecture, messaging, naming and identity design to packaging, campaigns and creative, websites and eCommerce platforms, and paid media. Clients named on its site include LesserEvil, Kate's Butter, Lighthouse Credit Union, North Spore, Community Choice Credit Union, Venture Solar, Walden Local, Mod Pizza, Woodhull, Baxter Brewing and Kate Farms. Anchour's about page lists its recognition: named a fastest-growing agency by AdWeek, "Best Agency to Work in 2024" by Ad Age, a Top 3 Branding Agency in the U.S., and a place on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth time in 2026.
Where will I work?
Mostly from home. Anchour's postings promise "Hybrid Work Flexibility. Primarily remote, with regular in-office collaboration days", and five of the eight roles it listed in September 2026 were fully remote. Its headquarters is in Durham Hall on Farm View Drive in New Gloucester, Maine.
What is the Anchour team like?
The careers page sums up life at Anchour as dogs, cats, hot takes, hustle, working from home, games, problem solving, snacks, seltzer and "good people". The about page lists 36 people, led by CEO Stephen Gilbert and President Josh Pritchard, across strategy, creative, UX and product, development, media and client service. Its mission is "Discover greatness together", and its values are to be indispensable, challenge the process, listen first, stay hungry and make it fun. "We make space to let every person on the team be their true self, do work that matters, and feel a real connection to what they make."
Work-Life Balance
Summer weeks are shorter: Anchour offers "Half-day Fridays throughout the summer, and a get-it-done-and-go mindset year-round", on its careers page and in every detailed posting. Paid time off is a minimum of three weeks a year ("Take the time you need," the careers page adds), with 12 paid holidays, three of them floating, and paid parental, medical, bereavement and other leave "when life happens". Anchour doesn't publish which summer months the half-day Fridays run.
