Mackinaw City
Mackinaw City sits at the very tip of the Lower Peninsula at the Straits of Mackinac, the gateway to the Mackinac Bridge and the ferries to Mackinac Island, home to Colonial Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, and one of northern Michigan's busiest tourism towns. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Mackinaw City's shops, restaurants, lodging, ferries, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
