ASHLAND – Two brothers celebrated moving their businesses downtown Wednesday with an open house and ribbon cutting at Flight Media and Coffy Creations.
Isaac Coffy, owner of Coffy Creations, and brother Josh, owner of Flight Media, moved into the upstairs space at 12 W. Main St. above Advantage Marketing this summer.
Flight Media is a marketing company that the two brothers started together three years ago.
“It didn’t work out for us working together as brothers so we had to go different ways. But it was still super cool to be able to do that together and then go our own way for three years and now we come together, not with the same business. But we share a space and we get to stake our place downtown,” Isaac said. “We’re super excited to be downtown with the other businesses.”
“It’s inspiring to see what has happened in the last four years in Ashland,” Josh said.
Josh said that when the company first started, they only worked with people outside of Ohio, but he eventually realized that needed to change.
“As we started to grow I realized the great importance of working with people in person. After we got the first office in the Transformation Network, we continued to grow. And now we partnered with Isaac for this super cool space and we started to work with even more and more people locally,” Josh said.
Coffy Creations is a photo studio that specializes in lifestyle wedding and portrait photography.
“I’m super grateful for everything God’s done for our businesses, and really we do owe it to our friends, family and our business network,” Isaac said.
“We’re so proud of you for what you’ve done downtown and with the building and how you’ve made it your own. We’re just so excited to have you as part of the Chamber and part of the community, and we’re glad you chose Ashland,” said Barbie Lange, president of the Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Our community is recovering very nicely, and when I say nicely, I don’t know that that is appropriate for what has been done to this old building. It’s beautiful and it’s a tribute to what’s happening downtown and the people who are pushing to make downtown recover,” said Ashland Mayor Glen Stewart.
