Posted by userEnglishPosted on

TechCrunch Disrupt is the world’s leading authority in debuting revolutionary startups, introducing game-changing technologies and discussing what’s top of mind for the tech industry’s key innovators. Disrupt gathers the best and brightest entrepreneurs, investors, hackers, and tech fans for on-stage interviews, the Startup Battlefield competition, a 24-hour Hackathon, Startup Alley, Hardware Alley,  After Parties, and a great opportunity for the best Guerrilla Marketing Stunts.

And Youcanevent took the opportunity to entertain the crowd :).

The San Francisco based startup, Youcanevent, proclaims to be the #1 brand of events and entertainment worldwide by democratizing the whole process of organizing an event.

The online marketplace counts with current brands using the platform to plan their events like Microsoft, Primark, Mary Kay, Seedrs, Pipedrive and much more.

The motto of the Guerrilla Marketing “Planning an event is no longer a Marathon.”, by showing, with Jason Jones from Youcanevent team jumping ropes, on the doors of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2017 at Pier 48.

The message was clear and hundreds of attendees on TechCrunch Disrupt engaged with Youcanevent, with a follow-up campaign on http://world.youcanevent.com/tech-crunch-disrupt/ giving away 10% discount towards the next event organization (this 10% discount can be used to purchase a venue, book a catering service etc).

The result was impressive, with people taking pictures from the marketing stunt, creating also a good opportunity to attract some potential partners working in the event and entertainment industry such as like Party on Demand and TwoDegrees.
