Fifty Lakes
Fifty Lakes is a small city in the north-woods lakes country of northern Crow Wing County, a recreation community surrounded by dozens of lakes with a base of resorts, recreation, and service businesses. Its abundant lakes draw anglers, boaters, and vacationers through the season. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Fifty Lakes area's resort, recreation, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Fifty Lakes, Minnesota?
