Background

About Michael Ring

I’ve recently moved back to the Brunswick area, returning to the coast and community that have always felt like home. After spending the past few years in the Waterville and Augusta area—places with strong communities of their own—it feels good to be back in the Midcoast. Helping local businesses grow and share their stories through clear, honest marketing is something I find genuinely rewarding, especially in a state like Maine, where supporting each other truly matters. I’m currently with Harpswell Auto Sales, focusing on online marketing and making it easier for customers to find what they need without hassle. I’m blending creative strategy with hands-on work, from photographing new arrivals to updating listings and keeping the lots looking their best. It matters to me that customers get the right information so they can feel confident in their choices. Previously, I was Director of Marketing at Nitro Trailers, where I created print materials, managed expos, ran social media advertising, and updated the website to better serve customers as well as Dealers. Before that, I worked as the Local Store Marketer at Texas Roadhouse, planning community events, managing social media, and building local connections to keep the brand part of the community. I also spent time as a Digital Media and Marketing Intern at the Alfond Youth & Community Center, creating content, managing the Maine Pond Hockey website, and supporting programs that brought people together. Earlier in my career, I worked in customer-facing roles at L.L.Bean, The North Face, The Home Depot, and Hannaford, where I learned the value of showing up, working hard, and paying attention to detail. These experiences taught me that every interaction matters, a mindset I bring to every project. I graduated from Thomas College with a bachelor’s in Digital Media and Marketing, building skills in Canva, Adobe Suite, Meta Business Suite, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and WordPress to help brands tell their stories clearly and effectively. I’m looking to connect with other Maine professionals and businesses who care about community and clear, effective marketing. If you want to connect about local business, digital marketing, cars, or Boston sports, I’d be glad to chat.
