Fireside Chat with Aventus’ New Head of Communications

Hiring and Office Space

We are pleased to confirm that we have now hired two new engineers who will be introduced in the coming weeks as their start dates commence, and have also recently welcomed our new Head of Communications, Ellie, to the Aventus team. Ellie joins us with over three years experience in digital communications, and will be responsible for our marketing and community efforts. We are still on the lookout for great talent and currently hiring for Blockchain Engineers, so if you’re based in London and interested in joining us, please apply here!

As mentioned in our previous update, we were hoping to be in our new office space by Monday, however, this date has now been pushed forward to next week. Make sure you are following us on Twitter for updates and to see us attempt to build Ikea furniture!

Exchange Listings

True to our promise, we will be listing on a large exchange at the end of this calendar week. Though we are still unable to say who this exchange is for legal reasons, we are very excited to be moving forward and no plans have changed.

Fireside Chat with Ellie

Hello Ellie, welcome to the team! Could you start by telling us about yourself, who are you and what is it that you do at Aventus?

Hi guys, I’m Ellie and I’ve just joined Aventus as Head of Communications! I have over 3 years experience in 360 marketing roles working with tech startups and I love building digital communities, which is something I hope to bring to this role.

What was it that got you interested in the blockchain technology and Aventus to begin with?

With previous experience working in the fintech industry and a passion for disruptive tech, my interest in blockchain technology has grown quickly. Aventus struck my interest immediately, offering a solution set to shake-up the ticketing industry.

As a digital marketer, what do you think of the marketing efforts these blockchain-based open source communities have put together? Do you see any places where improvements could be made, and how you at Aventus will try to make them?

A lack of communication and transparency is apparent amongst most blockchain-based communities. My aim is to strengthen the Aventus online community, and will be doing so by producing and distributing relevant and consistent content, opening the lines of communication and building a transparent community. I hope to bridge the gap between blockchain and the ticketing industry, developing Aventus as a thought leader in the space.

What do you think makes Aventus relevant for society?

I think we’ve all experienced the pain points that currently exist in the ticketing industry, making the Aventus solution incredibly relevant to just about everyone! Society will definitely benefit from a more fair, secure, and transparent ticketing model.
