Port Austin
Port Austin is a harbor village at the very tip of Michigan's Thumb where Lake Huron meets Saginaw Bay, a summer-resort town known for kayaking out to Turnip Rock, Port Crescent State Park, a Saturday farmers market, and a walkable downtown of shops and restaurants. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Port Austin's shops, restaurants, lodging, outfitters, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
