Zortman
Zortman is a tiny historic gold-mining town in the Little Rocky Mountains of southern Phillips County, Montana, just off the edge of the Fort Belknap Reservation in a range that holds deep significance for the Aaniiih and Nakoda peoples. Today a small community with ranching, some tourism and outdoor recreation, and a mining legacy, it sits in a striking island-mountain landscape. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Zortman area's ranching, recreation, and service businesses, and for the nearby Fort Belknap community, 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.
