Monarch
Monarch is a small community up the Belt Creek canyon in the Little Belt Mountains of southern Cascade County, Montana along US Highway 89, in timber and recreation country on the way to the Kings Hill and Showdown ski area. Its life runs on timber, mountain recreation, and the handful of local businesses serving residents and visitors. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Monarch area's recreation, timber, and local 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.
