Evvnt Transforms Event Calendar Industry in the U.S.

Signs Deal with GateHouse Media as Defacto Standard for Event Listings with More than 500 Newspapers Throughout U.S.

LOS ANGELES--()--Evvnt, an events marketing automation platform, today announced its first major U.S. partnership with GateHouse Media, one of the largest publishers of locally-based media in the United States with the publishing giant leveraging the Evvnt premium marketing platform to create real-time calendars.

Evvnt’s unique software-as-a-service tool enables marketers and event organizers to promote an event to more than 3,500 listing sites by completing a single listing quickly and efficiently – making it one of the best places to promote events online.

“As our most strategic partnership to date in the U.S., GateHouse Media saw a clear advantage in the way Evvnt can leverage distribution, features, print and voice technology via SpokenLayer,” said Richard Green, CEO, Evvnt. “We strive to consistently discover new opportunities for our clients and look for ways to help them find revenue-generating, time-saving options for the publishing market and the addition of GateHouse helps solidify our mission going forward.”

Evvnt’s deal with GateHouse Media gives it access to more than 500 U.S. newspapers across some of the largest cities. As part of the deal, Evvnt will supply revenue-generating event calendars to GateHouse Media, which will be active within hours of going live.

“We have an exceptional working relationship with GateHouse and we are seeing immediate, ground-breaking results as we roll out our revenue generating event calendars,” continued Green.

Evvnt is a dynamic and growing aggregator platform solution in the global B2C and B2B event listings market.

From a simple event submission, the Evvnt platform based on SaaS technology automatically creates a selective listing of publishers’ specific events with locations attached making it far easier for event organizers to get their events seen via further distribution to print and voice, ensuring consumers can find local and relevant events quickly and easily via search.
