Cohlmia Marketing to move to Delano

UPDATED — Cohlmia Marketing is moving from one historic building to another.

The marketing-communication firm has been in the Yellow Cab building in Old Town for a decade.

It’s moving to the Travel Air Building at 535 W. Douglas in Delano.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to have some Douglas street exposure,” says president Carol Skaff.

That’s partly why she’s moving.

“We’re kind of off the beaten path here,” she says of her location on Mosley Street between First and Second streets.

That’s the same building where Egg Cetera is.

“It really is a wonderful location,” Skaff says. “We have really enjoyed Old Town.”

When the office opened there, there was no Old Town Square.

“The energy has been building,” Skaff says. “It’s been really fun to be part of that.

“At this time, the energy of Delano is really starting to, I guess, percolate,” she says. “They’ve just been doing so many interesting developments, and it has an interesting creative vibe, and that was attractive to us.”

Cox Communications Kansas/Arkansas commits random acts of kindness

WICHITA — Cohlmia Marketing owner Carol Skaff was working at home Tuesday afternoon when someone with Cox Communications Kansas/Arkansas knocked at her door.

“This very nice guy with a beautiful smile said, ‘Hi, are you Ms. Skaff?’ ”

As she later posted on her Facebook page: “I’m thinking he’s either here to upsell me or report a service problem.”

That wasn’t the case.

“We want to thank you for your business, and we’re offering you free snow removal,” the man said.

He handed Skaff a flier about it.

“I was a little bit speechless, and I just sat there for a second and went, ‘Oh, OK.’ ”

The snow shoveling, which Cox hired Complete Landscaping Systems to do, is something the company considers a random act of kindness.

“With the weather being what it is, we thought, OK, well, would there be anyone we could identify as a Cox customer that we would be able to help out today?” said spokeswoman Sarah Kauffman. “It was just a hey, what can we do that would be nice?”
