LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Evite®, the leading
digital service for bringing people together, today announced the
company is celebrating its 20th birthday in 2018. Evite
is inviting its 100+ million annual users to help celebrate at
evite.com/birthday.
The Evite 20th Birthday page currently hosts a look-back video
focused on celebrations of the last twenty years, and the page will
be updated throughout 2018 with sweepstakes, video content, and
customer stories.
"Evite is proud to continue to be the leader in the space we
invented," said Victor Cho, Chief
Executive Officer of Evite. "The digital world has changed
significantly since our founding, and Evite has evolved along with
it. Evite is now the top text-based invitation site, and two-thirds
of invitations are viewed on mobile devices."
"What hasn't changed is the importance of getting together
face-to-face," continued Cho. "Today, we believe this is more
important than ever. As we celebrate our birthday, our wish is to
continue Evite's mission of bringing people together to celebrate
all of life's moments."
Evite was founded in 1998 by Al
Lieb and Selina Tobaccowala.
Having been co-founded by a woman in tech, Evite has continued its
legacy of creating a female-friendly environment under Cho's
leadership. Women currently make up 59% of Evite's total employees
and 50% of its senior leadership roles, a rarity in the space.
Recent enhancements to the Evite platform include: an SMS
feature to send and receive invitations via text message; a private
sharing feed for photos and conversations before and after events;
a donations feature which has enabled more than $5 million in charitable contributions; and a
robust mobile app.
