evvnt has acquired Middlesbrough-based events communication startup EventSneaker as part of their global expansion into the events market. “It was very clear from early conversations with the dynamic entrepreneurs at EventSneaker that they had really focused on event organisers’ need to secure a clear return on investment for every single outbound marketing activity from a tweet to a text.” Richard Green CEO of evvnt.
The combination of evvnt’s marketing reach and EventSneaker’s tracking of this reach back to revenue and attendees will further aid event organisers worldwide. This acquisition introduces services including email, SMS, mobile and social media measurement to evvnt’s marketing toolkit.
EventSneaker first met evvnt CEO Richard Green at a TableCrowd networking event where evvnt spoke as headline sponsors, and the acquisition was first discussed between the two companies. After positive initial discussions and the profound alignment of their goals and ideology, the acquisition was fast-tracked for the benefit of both companies.
“We organize intimate sector specific networking dinners where people can connect to create future alliances, partnerships and new business opportunities,”says Kate Jackson, Co-founder of TableCrowd.” It’s great to hear feedback from our diners when things have worked out and deals have been done. The acquisition of EventSneaker by evvnt will result in a really powerful tool for event organisers and is really great news for the industry.”
Over the coming months evvnt will be integrating EventSneaker’s staff and technology into its own services, ultimately giving event organisers even greater tools to market to new event audiences.
Moreover, Mark Stephenson, CEO at EventSneaker added “evvnt have a proven product, a proven client base and a resourceful, professional and skilful team. Adding our intelligence product is going to produce something amazing for event professionals. I want to be part of that, who wouldn’t.”
