Jim's guest today on The CMO Podcast is Tamara Mendelsohn, the Chief Marketing Officer for Eventbrite. The 17-year-old global self-service ticketing platform for live experiences allows anyone to create, share, find and attend events. The app showcases music festivals, marathons, conferences, community rallies, fundraisers, gaming competitions–and even air guitar contests. 12 years after its founding, Eventbrite went public. The company’s purpose is simple: to bring the world together through live experiences. The company certainly delivers that purpose, with five million events last year, nearly 300 million tickets, 800,000 creators using the platform, and a yearly revenue approaching $300 million.
Tamara joined Evenbrite in 2009, when the company was only three years old, and she was appointed Chief Marketing Officer about 3 and a half years ago. Before Eventbrite, Tamara spent four years as a Senior Analyst at Forrester, where she specialized in ecommerce and multichannel retail. Tamara studied comparative literature and economics at Wellesley College, and earned her MBA from the Sloan School of Management at MIT. Tune in for a conversation with a CMO who loves connecting and community!
