About Us

Hartland Media Group was founded in 2026 due to a simple observation. Local social media marketing was becoming too cookie cutter. Almost corporatized.

Our founder, Rob Hartranft, founded HMG with the intention of changing that. A small business is sacred in our community, and deserves to be marketed like so. Creative visuals and meaningful stories are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what HMG offers.

Here at HMG, we are committed to maintaining local relationships. HMG believes in small businesses, and is here to help yours grow. If your business in Sussex, Morris, or Passaic County is in need of passionate digital marketing, look no further than Hartland Media Group.
