“Throughout the quarter, adoption of our Boost marketing solution, and other promotional features like Eventbrite Ads gained momentum as creators turned to us to help them become more effective marketers and drive demand for their events.”
Hartz added: “We will continue to invest in their success through the holiday season and beyond as audiences are eager to connect with unique things to do around the world. The team’s fortitude and focus on what matters most has been an exemplary effort, extending our product-led strategy and driving toward our goals for the long term.”
The results are an improvement on the COVID-hit figures from 2021, which saw Eventrbite post a net loss of $139m across the year.
