Saint Paul, MN - November 29, 2023 - Media Junction, an award-winning leader in custom website design and development - WebOps, and Remotish, an award-winning RevOps & WebOps agency, are excited to announce their merger. This strategic move positions the combined entity as one of HubSpot’s most technical partners, expanding their market reach and enhancing its service offerings in the areas of RevOps and WebOps.
Founded in 1997 by Trish Lessard, Media Junction became a HubSpot partner in 2011 and has since made a significant mark in the ecosystem, most notably as one of first ten in the world to become an Elite HubSpot Partner in 2020 as well as their extensive technical expertise for developing custom HubSpot integrations and apps. The team is known worldwide for its award-winning work on HubSpot’s platform for brands such as Edge Fitness Clubs, Ingram Micro, HubSpot, and 1,500+ HubSpot customers.
Remotish, established in 2019 by Nicole Pereira, quickly rose to prominence as a Diamond HubSpot Partner, specializing in RevOps and WebOps. The team was awarded the HubSpot Authentic Service Award for their recruitment and onboarding programs utilizing HubSpot. In addition they are the only holders of HubSpot’s most technically optimized theme award. Today, 8,500+ HubSpot users rely on one of their fourteen HubSpot Marketplace themes to power their website.
Both teams are widely regarded for their HubSpot expertise and have been featured in several HubSpot certification courses, bootcamp programs, presenters at HubSpot industry events, and actively participate in HubSpot product testing groups. Nicole and Trish both currently serve as members of the HubSpot Partner Advisory Council.
The merger promises to leverage the strengths of both agencies to offer a more comprehensive range of technical services, particularly to HubSpot customers needing CMS, CRM implementation, onboarding and technical services.
Collectively the company holds five HubSpot Accreditations including CMS, CRM Implementation, Platform Enablement, Customer Onboarding and Custom Integrations. These accreditations are awarded to partners who possess the skills and expertise to offer platform solutions to HubSpot customers.
“As we started to explore our options for a merger, we naturally gravitated towards a short list of technical HubSpot partners who we respected for their work and contributions. Nicole and the Remotish team ticked all of the boxes for us. We are stoked to have Nicole as our COO pilot on this journey. When it comes to systems and processes, there’s no one better in this ecosystem—she’s a total badass.”
- Trish Lessard, CEO
This merger is not just a strategic business move but also a win for the employees and clients of both companies. Employees will benefit from expanded career development opportunities and exposure to diverse work environments, fostering innovation and personal growth. Conversely, clients will have access to a wider array of services and technical expertise, ensuring more effective and streamlined HubSpot solutions.
"I'm excited and think there's a peanut butter and chocolate element to the MJ+Remotish merger. While both can stand on their own and each are exceptional in many areas, there are others where the strengths of one can augment areas where the other is looking to improve/grow. And by combining you get the all-time classic that is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup."
- Adam Stahl, Solutions Architect, media junction (formerly Remotish)
Post-merger, Trish Lessard will continue as CEO, with Nicole Pereira stepping into the role of COO. Both leaders will also hold board positions, guiding the company toward the goal of setting new benchmarks in technical excellence and client satisfaction in the HubSpot ecosystem. The company will remain headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with the Remotish team integrating into the Media Junction team.
“Over the course of the past 8 months Trish and I have worked towards a future collaboration. We knew we had a special relationship forming and would make excellent partners in any venture. The result of this merger positions us as a top elite partner and a rare HubSpot agency with multiple female owners.
With over a decade of HubSpot agency focus each, Trish and I have consistently predicted the evolution of HubSpot and pivoted aggressively. This is just one more move being made so that we continue to deliver our employees, clients, and the entire HubSpot ecosystem, our very best.”- Nicole Periera, COO
This move between two top HubSpot Solutions Partners is a direct response to the evolution of the HubSpot Platform and Ecosystem as a whole. The HubSpot product is getting smarter, there is global buy-in on the "crafted not cobbled" methodology, and the world of RevOps revolves around partnerships that win. Both media junction and Remotish pride ourselves on our tenured relationship with HubSpot, and look forward to a brighter future for HubSpot, Customers and Partners.
“media junction’s merger with Remotish is an exciting milestone for the agency and me personally. It was inspiring to see how smoothly both sides took to this vision and saw it through to the end (or should I say the beginning).
M&A will remain an important part of our playbook from this point forward. This deal sets the standard for how media junction handles future mergers and acquisitions.”- Dylan Wickliffe, VP of Growth (formerly HubSpot)
"As long-time trusted HubSpot Solution Partners, I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Media Junction and Remotish on a few projects over the years. I’ve always been impressed by each team’s creativity and technical abilities. I’m excited to see them teaming up to provide even bigger and better client solutions"
