EVENTBRITE
Market Opportunity - Understanding Where Eventbrite Could Grow
The question
Eventbrite needed a clearer understanding of the U.S. non-music events market.
The question was not simply how large the market was.
We needed to understand where the strongest opportunities existed, how they differed by event category and geography, how the market was changing, and where Eventbrite could realistically focus.
The signals
The work combined market modeling, external data and research with event hosts.
It showed that the opportunity was not evenly distributed.
Certain event categories represented significantly larger areas of activity, some regions carried greater commercial opportunity, and event hosts were increasingly shifting toward smaller and mid-sized event formats.
The competitive landscape was also fragmented, creating different opportunities depending on the segment.
The gap
A large market-size number on its own would not tell the business what to do.
The more useful question was where the opportunity was concentrated and how those pockets of opportunity aligned with Eventbrite’s strengths.
What became clear
Growth needed to be viewed through several lenses at once:
category, geography, event size, market trajectory and competitive position.
The future opportunity was not simply about pursuing the largest individual events. In many areas, it was about understanding where event frequency, demand and platform fit intersected.
The Influence
The work gave Eventbrite a more practical framework for thinking about market opportunity and helped identify where the business could focus its attention rather than treating the entire events market as one undifferentiated opportunity.
