Comfort Media Group:
Origin Story

Ron Musser was an HVAC contractor being bombarded by shiny objects and conflicting advice from every angle. He was ready for a change.

Don Lafferty was an experienced traditional marketing professional on the leading edge of the emerging digital and social media space, but he was on his own and struggling to scale his business.

When Mike Gospadarek introduced them, Comfort Media Group was born; a digital marketing company with an intimate understanding of the challenges of HVAC contractors, focused completely on the goals of HVAC contractors,

Now, through collaborative partnerships with Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier, The Unico System and a number of HVAC equipment distributors, Comfort Media has grown to become the digital market partner for contractors targeting aggressive growth.

CMG is a HubSpot Gold Partner, managing implementation of marketing automation across a wide spectrum of contractors of all sizes.
