Evite’s core mission is to bring people together face-to-face through effortless and memorable celebrations. As the Senior Manager of Maketing Communications, one of my core priorities was to further this message in the marketplace.
To do so, I spearheaded a five-month study on friendships, conducting multiple surveys of Americans and scraping Evite’s proprietary event data. Through this research, I discovered that the average American adult had not made a new friend in five years.
Together with my team, I created a report of these findings. To make the insights actionable, I aligned our PR and marketing strategies to create unique face-to-face experiences, including a murder mystery dinner party game for Halloween, and brought this to life with a Spotify playlist, Amazon integration for party supplies, and curated recipe content.
