Problem

BIO Girls needed a production partner capable of matching the scale and heart of their mission.

Their early galas had strong storytelling but lacked the technical cohesion required for a seamless, emotionally compelling experience. In 2020, they also faced the unexpected challenge of shifting to a virtual gala due to the pandemic.

Special Requests

  • Pivoting to a first ever fully virtual gala during COVID with little notice.
  • Creating show elements where stage dancers “interacted” with the LED wall to visually extend the story.
  • Overcoming a last minute venue crisis when a venue was double booked only 60 days before the event. BIO Girls needed an immediate solution with no compromise on guest capacity or creative potential.

Solution — How Mobile Pro Saved the Day

Mobile Pro approached the gala as collaborators rather than simply a vendor. Beginning months in advance, they worked with BIO Girls to map out technical storytelling, cohesive production, and a stage environment that invited guests into the mission. When the pandemic hit, Mobile Pro moved quickly to produce a virtual event that still felt personal and inspiring, transforming a potential lost year into one of unprecedented reach.

In the year of the venue crisis, Mobile Pro stepped in immediately after discovering the double booking. Their team sourced, secured, and adapted a larger venue that offered even more creative flexibility. What began as a near disaster became one of the most successful galas yet.

Across six years of partnership, BIO Girls has reported zero production issues. The reliability, attention to detail, and creative synergy with Mobile Pro has helped drive a 66 percent increase in funds raised and a 54 percent increase in attendance.
