About Us
Undiscovered Maine was founded in 2012 by Dr. Nory Jones as a University of Maine Business School student research project with the goal of increasing tourism and economic development within underrepresented areas of Maine, enabling students to have a positive impact on communities in Maine through our web portal. We support undiscovered regions in Maine by developing a strong social media presence and fostering relationships with local businesses.
Our mission is to provide valuable educational opportunities for students to learn web and social media strategies as well as organizational, management and marketing skills to help small businesses in under-served areas of Maine.
The project is ongoing, and we are always adding more activities and places. Follow our journey as we highlight our incredible local communities and small businesses!
