Like many small businesses, Sarah-Jane has seen her business completely disrupted by COVID-19, especially with clients in the hospitality industry and others who’ve been forced to close their doors. And given that Digital Picnic had such momentum after its successful launch last year, she was determined to try to find a way for it to go ahead.
“I just thought: digital transformation is what I do all day long. I wanted to embrace it and I just thought, what better way than to just bring the event online”
