During National Small Business Week, we’re thrilled to spotlight one of our outstanding Centre County clients: Amplifly Video Video. 🎉

AmpliFLY recently earned two major honors—the Centre County Emerging Business Award and a spot on PA Business Central’s Top 100 Organizations—a huge accomplishment that reflects their creativity, innovation, and rapid growth.

From immersive indoor drone tours to cinematic storytelling that puts viewers inside the experience, AmpliFLY is redefining how businesses showcase their spaces.

As an SBDC client, AmpliFLY worked with our team during their launch, receiving guidance on business planning, accounting, taxes, and compliance, and participating in early‑stage workshops to support their growth. We’ve loved watching founders Tyler Henderson and Kate Myers turn a bold idea into a nationally recognized business—and even give back by sharing their expertise with other entrepreneurs.

👏 Congratulations to the AmpliFLY team on this well‑deserved recognition!
