History

In early 2000 when a hand-picked team was assembled at the World Co.'s Lawrence Journal-World to decide what the next generation of news and media should be, we had no idea we'd be embarking on a path that would lead us to build one of the most feature-rich web CMS's and local business search services on the market, called Ellington. What started as tools and services for our own use has grown to encompass a dedicated and always-innovating software firm called Mediaphormedia that today, with Ellington CMS and Marketplace, serves over 300 websites in North America and has helped clients amass a multitude of top industry awards and make profitability an achievable goal. We've helped transform our partners at operations both large and small into being more efficient and producing better work -- both staff generated and community driven -- that secures their place at the center of their communities. At our core, we are a community building technology and strategies company who is passionate about helping clients succeed in business.

What truly makes our operations special is an uncompromising drive to innovate, the ability to step back from the day to day operations questioning our strategies, and to change course to meet our client's needs. MPM has amassed a tremendous amount of hard-won wisdom in software development, in supporting our clients in their day-to-day and long-term goals, and in building the features and services to produce better, more profitable web operations.

We consider it a distinct honor to work very closely with our clients collaborating on the next generation of our software and services and we hope you'll take a close look at what makes us different, how our software is hand-tailored to the finest of standards, and how our clients and our drive to innovate pushes us into areas of local media yet to be truly be served. We look forward to speaking with you - if you have any questions please feel free to give us a call or send us a note.
