Lake Ann
Lake Ann is a village in northeastern Benzie County built around its namesake lake in the northern-Michigan forest-and-lake country near the Grand Traverse line, a small resort community with a Main Street, lakefront recreation, and a base of shops, recreation, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Lake Ann area's shops, recreation, lodging, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
