 On any given day, Mary Boland can be found shooting videos of one of the local breweries in trade for free beer. A former Plum Island resident, Mary operates a video production company that has its roots in Newburyport, but is now right next door in Amesbury MA. In the early days of Anchor Hitch Media, Mary collaborated with locals like Dancing Goats Dairy, Newburyport Brewing Company, Metzy’s, Riverwalk and other emerging young companies. She believes in new companies building each other up to help each other achieve success. She is now in her 5th year owning and operating Anchor Hitch Media and although not trading work for tacos anymore, she still shoots some video “just for fun.” Mary is thrilled to be part of YPP because, “It’s not about age, but it’s about having a fresh mentality and approach to networking. Networking should be fun, engaging, interactive, low cost, philanthropic, creative and purposeful. YPP is organized and lead by a dynamic group of new business owners who understand the pain points of getting started and staying open. We are not some “old boys club.” We don’t have an antiquated model whose only goal is to pay the organizers. We are a non-exclusive group where the goal is to inspire collaboration, co-working and innovative ideas!” When she’s not shooting marketing and promotional videos, Mary can be found out on the boat in the summer or walking in the woods with her dog Chance in the winter. Want to learn more about Mary and Anchor Hitch Media? Here you go!!
Anchor Hitch Media Mary Boland Creative Director, Anchor Hitch Media m:917-620-8759 | e:mary@anchorhitchmedia.com | w:anchorhitchmedia.com | a:Chestnut Street, Amesbury, MA Many of us pass by this location at least once a week. Many more of us even order from them often. The pizza is delicious and you are always met with a smile and the best customer service. What many do not know is that the owner of our Newburyport Dominos is quietly giving back and true hero in our little sea side city. Recently we were asked by Mr. Donald Jarvis to hightlight the owner of our local Dominos and we happily obliged. Here are Mr. Jarvis's words about his friend Mr. Viken Dumeciyan: "I would like to take a moment and share a special thank you to one of the greatest people I know. Someone who is always quick to support and be involved, someone who truly enjoys helping others. I can not count the number of times I have hear about something that this man has done to support the community, a project or a group. It’s truly inspiring. It seems he will always find a way to do what he can. A story of his recently that truly had an impact on me was what he did this past winter during those nasty power outages. Supplying pizzas, and breadsticks from Newburyport to Ipswich to first responders, and the crew restoring power to our community in the middle of white out conditions and blizzard like forces. There was nothing opened within miles from where they were in Ipswich, but he was opened in Newburyport and he made damn well made sure they were getting food to eat at whatever it took. Viken, I can never thank you enough, our community can never thank you enough and the City of Newburyport can never thank you enough for your extremely generous, loving and caring heart. Believe me, many people in the area sing your praises - I hear it all the time. You are more then well deserving of being recognized and shown how much you are truly appreciated for what you do and the contributions you make to the community. I’m proud to call you my friend. You have touched and impacted everyone around you rather it be your employees who admire you, your customers who know they get more then a pizza when they order from you, or your friends and family. You are a very special token to everyone around you. Viken, thank you for being you!! 🍕 "  Photo credit: Christine Tron of the V.F.W

With her mom and business partner, Karen, Katie runs Port Plums and Port Blue Accents, 2 retail businesses located in downtown Newburyport. Katie got her start at The Dragon’s Nest, a toy store and decades-long staple of Newburyport shopping. “I always expected to get tired of the job and the same old view every day. But after 4 years of working every summer, winter, and spring break, I wanted more!” After college Katie began working in human resources but a few short months later, she and Karen purchased Newburyport Olive Oil, a pre-existing business at The Tannery. The following summer, Katie and Karen opened the adjacent Port Plums with Port Blue Accents following in late 2016. “I love so many things about being a shop owner,” say Katie. “From curating the coolest products to organizing fun events, there’s never a dull moment. But the very best part is getting to know our wonderful customers!” When not tending to her shops, Katie loves to cook, snuggle with her dogs, and travel.

Next time you see Kami, make sure to say hi! No really, do it- her southern accent is adorable.
Thanks for being part of YPP, Kami! Looking forward to all you will bring to this group! We get this question all the time so here you go!!
Newburyport YPP aka Young People with a Purpose is a group who donate their time, energy and money to doing good. Simple as that. We define Young as 'Not yet old'. So, are you not yet old? As the saying goes, you are only as old as you feel and if you do not yet feel old then- you're in!! We have had folks from 3 to a little older than 3 join us for our events, cleanups and volunteer opportunies. Your age is not important, the fact that you are going good and giving back is. So no, no matter your age you are NOT too old for YPP! Come, join us! You will quickly learn that you will fit right in. xoxo ~Tiffany (age 36) & Alison (age 34)  Big thank you to the 27 volunteers that came out for the beach cleanup on Plum Island with Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation. We picked up over 170 pounds of litter from our local beach, including nearly 200 bottles & cans, 86 straws, 1 tire, 33 water treatment disks, 13 syringes, 36 grocery bags, and loads of waste plastic. We'll probably do another beach cleanup after the summer, so watch for that!
