The Office in Media, Inc. Unveils
A Celebration of Independents in July

Media, PA -- June 10, 2008 -- Over 25 Million Americans are now self employed. Many more are self employed each and every day. Recognizing the need for services and amenities specifically tailored to this new population, a brand new workspace will open in early July of 2008.
This is Media, PA's first coworking facility, ready to join other coworking businesses already established around the country based on the coworking concept notably featured on CNN's Work at Home series.

Centrally located just adjacent to the Media Courthouse on Veterans Square, The Office in Media will serve any and all professionals seeking transitional productive work facilities with a strong community flavor. Business service professionals, entrepreneurs and their colleagues from out of town are welcome to start their day in The Office in Media, using it as a home base of operations while conducting business locally. Legal and accounting professionals from out of town may find it extremely helpful to have a place to meet with clients or prepare for their next court appearance as the Courthouse is a mere 200 ft. away.

"The Office was born out of necessity, mainly.' muses Lisa Thompson, President of The Office in Media, Inc.
"Those in business are inundated with social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. These are wonderful tools, but those websites are missing one small very important, very simple thing which was initially the foundation of business; the handshake. That is what I am bringing to Media - workspace built around community. With the focus on the arts and Fair Trade, Media, PA is the perfect location to foster business relationships and productivity through social networking."

The Office in Media operates on a membership basis, so there is no lease involved - even if one decides to occupy the space for regular use. What is extremely attractive is the fact that one can drop in unscheduled to use the wi-fi, copier and fax, schedule meeting time in the conference room, or just simply relax in the 'breakroom' with some Fair Trade coffee preparing for their next appointment.

Expected opening date for The Office in Media, Inc. is July 7, 2008.

The Office - work in progress

Here are some photos of The Office with paint mostly done - and waiting for carpet and furniture. The last photo was taken sitting on the steps to the entrance and taking a shot of the Media Courthouse. That's how close I am!

If the place looks small to you, that is because it is, kinda. There are 3 rooms - common workspace, the breakroom, and the conference room. The ease of accessibility to the courthouse should bring in the customers and there will be plenty of room for anything coworkers need to accomplish.

Start Small Dream Big!

The Entrance to The Office in Media!
Since my temporary sign permit was denied by Media Borough, I went into work to take some photos to show them why I should be granted the permit. They say 'No can do, you are in a multi-tenant Building'. I say Ah yes but I have my own entrance. Here is proof.
