Tyrone Reid Spent Five Years Creating ‘The Saviour of The Tourism and Hospitality Sector and Night Time Economy’: Introducing the MeAttend Social Media Platform

In ‘Awful April’, when National Insurance and fuel increases are due to bring more financial headaches for UK businesses that operate in the tourism and hospitality sectors, there is finally some good news on the horizon. A new social media platform launching on Monday 21 April intends to turn the fortunes of venue and leisure time businesses around by offering new and innovative ways to connect them with customers looking for a great day or night out.

The new platform, which consists of a web portal and social media app, is called MeAttend and was created over five years by London-based tech entrepreneur Tyrone Reid. What makes MeAttend groundbreaking is that it eliminates the most persistent pain point of metropolitan social life – wasted evenings due to not knowing where to go and what time to go there – let’s call it ‘misleading venue intelligence’. While the average Londoner spends £2,800+ annually on disappointing social experiences (calculated from transport, entry fees, and minimum spends at venues that fail to deliver), MeAttend subscribers will reclaim both their time and money through use of the app’s intelligence and live time updates.

Unlike existing social media, which mainly show curated highlights, MeAttend will provide the unfiltered truth: Is that supposedly “buzzing” club actually empty right now? Is that “hidden gem” worth the £30 taxi ride? Has that “exclusive” bar become a tourist trap in the last month?

And tourism and hospitality sector businesses can reach this new customer base by signing up to the venue portal on the platform and benefit from MeAttend’s distinctive marketing only available via the app. For instance, MeAttend is a next-generation social media platform that allows companies like exhibitions, restaurants, diners, clubs and hotels to mass market their venues and events to the masses by showcasing them to people that want to find the best events, and MeAttend shows potential visitors comments, reviews, pictures, videos and even live streams from the destination which each business can make another stream of revenue from.

Tourism and hospitality companies can post pictures, videos and live streams for potential audiences all around the world – and get advanced analytics on the engagement progress of their events and venues. Most importantly, MeAttend enables businesses to grow through a cost-effective means of social media and marketing. This can massively increase company’s revenues year-on-year and it will give tourism and hospitality sector companies the ability to create an additional stream of revenue that can grow week on week.

The MeAttend app will better connect people and companies in a way that has never been done before. The benefits are simple but revolutionary: app users never have to waste another night out. They make confident social decisions backed by authenticated real-time data, transforming their entire day or night out – from anxious guesswork to empowered certainty. And event businesses can take back control of their marketing by having a presence on a social media platform designed purely to showcase the best events, venues and destinations for those key leisure moments.

As Tyrone Reid, MeAttend’s Founder puts it; “MeAttend is going to be revolutionary for the tourism and hospitality industry. This platform has the capability to achieve and become the next Facebook, but for events, in a very short time, and we are in talks with several venture capitalists to take MeAttend globally in the next few months. I honestly think we

can change the way business and customers engage with events and do this in a way that will increase revenue and make everyone involved happier too. A win-win all round”.

MeAttend is free to all customers and clientele, though businesses will have to register and subscribe to join the app. A special introductory rate for tourism and hospitality businesses that sign up before 31 May is now available.
