Hi, I’m April Shaw-Beaudoin. As a fifth-generation Mainer, I founded Camden Famous back in 2022 to be the area’s most trusted resource for events, advice, content, and partnerships.
Inspired by a commitment to forge meaningful local relationships, we focus on driving real value back into our community. Our flagship annual gathering, Podcast Palooza, is a live launch event that takes place at the Wharf at Lyman-Morse. It draws hundreds of attendees while spotlighting Camden’s must-know individuals. Our recent Holiday Market (also at the Wharf) drew nearly one thousand visitors while highlighting Camden’s most unique vendors and business owners.
Our impact also reaches beyond live events. Our second published book, The Insider's Guide to Midcoast Maine, features the stories of nearly 100 Midcoast businesses. Similarly, our podcast, The Camden Famous Podcast, generates hundreds of thousands of impressions and countless listeners from all over.
With over a decade of marketing expertise, I’m also a local business owner myself — serving as the Founder and CEO of Omnitizing (a full-service agency) alongside my husband and business partner, Buck.
Join the adventure as we discover — and rediscover — everything Camden has to offer.
Hi there, I’m Buck. With 25+ years of marketing expertise, I’m the creative force behind Camden Famous. Whether it’s our logo, website, the photos across our social feeds or anything in-between, my job is to make sure the creativity of Camden shines through in an authentic and genuine way.
While I’m not a Maine native myself, rest assured my wife April (Co-Founder of Camden Famous) has taught me everything I need to know.
I love the coast from top to bottom. I love discovering the delicious food. I love the nature preserves and the quiet hikes. The mom-and-pop-owned shops and the deep history. I can now truly call it my home.
Together, April and I created Camden Famous to provide the incredibly unique people of Camden with the incredibly unique destinations, tips, events, and recommendations you deserve. But we also launched it to serve ourselves, too — we started the site we wished had existed years ago when we moved here!
Camden Famous is for anyone who values exploration, curiosity, community — and most of all — fun.
We invite you to join us in experiencing all that Camden has to offer.
