Hear from our clients who went virtual:
“It was our pleasure to work with Layne the Auctionista for our first-ever HeartWorks at Home Virtual Gala. While the original plan was a star-studded evening in NYC, we had to quickly pivot when the pandemic made an in-person gala impossible. Layne pivoted seamlessly right along with us. Their strategic input during our planning process was invaluable. We broke barriers together, with new hardware, new technology, and various locations in two countries. Layne and their team were partners throughout the process and our event was a huge fundraising success. In front of the crowd – even online – their personality shined, with excitement and passion for our mission. Viewers loved the show and they donated.”
