Magnetic is headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, right in the middle of the Dayton-Cincinnati technology corridor. Though we’re proud of our Midwestern roots, our growth has allowed us to attract top talent from all over the country.
Our approach is simple: stay devoted to your partner’s success and always pick up the phone. These core values of transparency, teamwork, and responsiveness help us build trust with our clients and create solid, long-term partnerships.
