RINGING IN A NEW CORPORATE DIRECTION
Ritchie Bros. is the world’s largest auctioneer of all things that go. After completing a nearly $900 million acquisition of the leading online auctioneer, Ritchie Bros. was celebrating by ringing the opening bell of the NYSE. The organization enlisted KemperLesnik to create a memorable event for colleagues and traders, secure on-site media and live stream the event to all of their social followers.
