About PDG & Associates
PDG & Associates was founded
by Paul Gurney in 1996 in Portland, Maine (USA). Seeing
the advantages to nimble, lean organizations, he assembled
a core, expert team of designers and programmers to produce
creative, effective websites.
For many years PDG has
worked closely with Dietz Associates, Yes!
Marketing Group,
bobdonpaul and other agile firms to provide a complete
range of services to special Maine and
New Hampshire businesses and organizations.
In 2010 we have a strategic partnership with Axon
Design and Marketing, crafting custom content management
solutions for mission-critical organizations.
During these 14+ years of business, PDG&A has serviced
ad agencies, large and small corporations, hotels, photographers,
graphic designers, nonprofits, hospitals and more. Our
earliest clients were large Maine advertising agencies;
this gave us valuable experience from the outset in thinking big about
the business of design and identity, but we didn't sacrifice
efficiency and the personal touch due to our size. It's
been a great time for all of us, and we look forward to
years of creative technology applications! |
