Five years ago today, we adapted, innovated, and delivered. ✨ When COVID was announced to the public on March 11, everything changed. Stratus Firm (then RJ Whyte Event Production) pivoted from a large-scale gala at the National Building Museum to a fully virtual Washington Performing Arts livestream in just three days. Sharing some BTS moments that made this virtual gala possible! 👏🏼

A great stage design doesn't just set the scene - it tells a story. At the N Street Village Gala last week, we kept it simple: three words, one mission, and an evening dedicated to the power of community. 💜✨

Swipe to the end to relive the night! 👏🏼

After seven years, it’s time to say goodbye to an office that became so much more than just a place to work ❤️.

This office was where we spent a majority of our time during the pandemic, where we were able to be ourselves and grow - starting as a small team of three to where we are now. It also became our pandemic virtual events studio and helped the company succeed in an incredibly tough time. It’s a special place because it's where RJ Whyte Event Production became Stratus Firm 🎉. It's where we welcomed Stratus friends, guests, and our favorite pawject managers 🐶 and where we celebrated our success together 👏🏼.

Now, we're so excited to be moving into brand new Stratus headquarters that reflects just how far we’ve come - bigger, better, and ready for the adventures ahead! 🚀

Stay tuned for the reveal,
Roger
