Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids is the seat of Kent County and Michigan's second-largest city, the historic 'Furniture City' and home of the office-furniture industry, now equally known as 'Beer City USA' for its craft breweries, with the Medical Mile's Corewell Health and Van Andel Institute, the ArtPrize art competition, and a diverse community that includes large Hispanic and Black populations and growing immigrant communities. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Grand Rapids' restaurants, breweries, manufacturers, healthcare and professional firms, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
