Evvnt Inc, the industry leader in events marketing automation, today announced the acquisition of Geotix, the software-as-a-service SaaS based event ticketing platform, adding ticketing to Evvnt’s growing range of events services. Evvnt partnered with Geotix in November 2019 to automate the creation of ticketed events via self-service to local event creators. That relationship resulted in this acquisition.
Evvnt’s growing publisher network can now offer ticketing services to each event creator via their online calendar’s self-service. This commerce capability combined with branded marketing services help to sell out an event.
“In adversity, we found an opportunity to acquire Geotix, our selected events ticketing partner and, in this moment, upped our game plan. Event ticketing has always been something very interesting to us, but we knew it required the right business structure, positioning, and timing to drive growth versus distraction. Geotix was our first choice as a technology partner. With this acquisition came not only the platform but the team who are exceptionally well versed on our mission. It’s simply perfect timing.” said Richard Green, CEO at Evvnt Inc.
“I’ve been asked several times, ‘is this the right time to buy a ticketing company, in the middle of a pandemic’. The answer is 100% yes. As we roll out our calendar network in 2020 to 6000 news media companies including Gannett and its USA Today Network, Lee Enterprises, TownNews, Adams Publishing Group and many others, we see an opportunity to automate local ticketing for events. These local events see a return in growth numbers, and with a real need for affordable, effective marketing. We are ready.”
A Simple, yet effective message for news media publishers giving them access to a $16bn events marketing and ticketing market.
