Sales Executive – Lyte, USA

LYTE – COMPANY SUMMARY 

Our mission is to fill every seat and make the event experience magical for fans.

Lyte is a technology platform for venues and event owners to take control of their ticketing experience, giving them the tools they need to keep their venues full and their fans happy. Lyte is an extension of the primary box office and seamlessly integrates with the primary ticketer, reducing fraud, driving down no-show rates, and delivering real savings to fans.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Lyte has an opportunity to radically improve the customer experience in a sector that has seen fundamentally little innovation over the last three decades. Lyte’s marketplace is both reducing risk and redefining the customer experience in a way that grows the overall market.
