Our take
Events offer a unique chance for brand audiences to engage directly with the brand, experiencing products and brand personality firsthand. They also serve as powerful lead generation tools. POSH is an event management and ticketing platform designed to empower anyone to host and organize events, emphasising human interactions through in-person gatherings.
The platform hosts a vast selection of user-friendly tools allowing event organizers to create personalized event pages, employ integrated marketing strategies, and access detailed analytics. These tools have attracted customers for events of all sizes.
Founded by two NYU "dropouts", the platform has rapidly expanded, now serving over 2 million users and processing more than $80 million in transactions. With a recent large round in venture funding, POSH plans to continue enhancing its platform with new features and improved user experiences, positioning itself as a leader in the event planning industry.
