A bit about us
Localist provides a licensable platform that offers event and venue listings combined with social calendaring tools to provide a complete solution for partners looking to promote and monetize local content. Universities can take advantage of Localist to provide an interactive calendar of events, and enable students to share their plans with each other, fostering a greater sense of community. Tourism boards using the Localist platform will for the first time be able to connect local businesses with customers, and better promote events by empowering people in the city to see what others are doing. For media companies, the Localist platform takes existing event data and wraps a social dynamic around it, creating new revenue streams along with increased traffic and accurate user targeting.
