For the first time in at least two decades, the Maine Office of Tourism has awarded its $4 million advertising contract to an out-of-state shop.

Warren Kremer Paino in New York outpaced eight-year incumbent Swardlick Marketing Group and McClain Hauptman Marketing Group, both in Portland, Maine. The account is legally mandated to go into review every three years.

WKP’s contract begins Nov.
