Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Amherst's shops, restaurants, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
