West Branch
West Branch is the seat and largest city of Ogemaw County in northeastern Lower Michigan, an I-75 hub known for its Tanger Outlets shopping draw, a Victorian downtown, the Rifle River, a regional hospital, and four-season snowmobile and ATV trails. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for West Branch's downtown shops, retailers, restaurants, lodging, healthcare and professional offices, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
