“Our mission has been to ‘empower connections that matter’ from day one,” said Rie Yamamoto, Co-Founder and CEO at EventHub. “We believe that event marketing is a powerful channel to bring people and companies closer together. We were in this business before COVID-19 shocked the world, but we believe this marketing channel is becoming more important with the recent turn of events. Companies can now engage with customers online, in-person, and in a hybrid manner and are looking for a powerful solution to make event marketing more accessible, intelligent, and data-driven. With this new round of funding, we believe that we can strengthen our presence in Japan as the leading event marketing platform and build the foundation for us to become the leading solution in the wider Asia-Pacific region.”
