"Bita was the engine behind an almost impossible concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Bringing an unknown musical ensemble from Iran, on a holiday weekend, was a challenging task; but with her strategic, grassroots marketing and publicity campaign, Homay & The Mastan Group concert became summer 08’s fastest sold-out show at that venue. Butterfly Buzz is our choice for our impossible creative events.”
