13 Oct 2021
News, Chippewa
A current of creative energy is flowing upriver to Chippewa Falls, as Ivy Media – a professional video and photography production company – moves from Eau Claire to Chippewa Falls.
Co-owners Kyle Lehman and Alak Phillips started Ivy Media in early 2019 and are now transitioning their business model and central location to accommodate changes forced upon them during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’ve been doing film and photography for the past eight years and this isn’t the first time I’ve had to reinvent myself or how our company looks at things,” Lehman said. “I’m a business owner because I enjoy adjusting to and solving problems. We ran into a big problem internally with our company when the pandemic hit, but now I’m excited to solve that problem and continue pursuing this career.”
