Media Grizzly

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Media Grizzly is a small development studio with a team of between one and ten people. Rather than positioning itself as a full-service marketing agency, it focuses on the technical infrastructure businesses run on: custom backend systems, SMS alerting, APIs, and automation. It works with businesses that need software built to be maintained and hosted long-term rather than demo-ready projects, and describes itself as staying involved after launch through monitoring, updates, and fixes. Its core offerings include SMS and text-alerting systems built on Twilio, covering appointment reminders, order alerts, and two-way messaging with opt-in and STOP/HELP compliance handled. Alongside this, Media Grizzly designs and develops websites and web apps with responsive, SEO-ready front ends connected to backend systems, and builds custom backend applications covering business logic, dashboards, user systems, billing, and scheduling. It also designs REST/JSON APIs to integrate payments, CRMs, calendars, and other third-party tools, and sets up automation such as scheduled jobs, webhooks, and event-driven workflows. A stated feature of its approach is self-hosted infrastructure — deploying on Docker, reverse proxies, databases, and backups that clients control rather than renting through a SaaS vendor. Its process follows four stages: scoping and planning, building in visible increments, deploying with monitoring and security from the outset, and ongoing support as systems evolve. Declared services also list SEO, PPC, branding, video production, and product design.
