LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Enjoius, a lifestyle platform dedicated to entertaining and celebrating, today announced it has raised $1.4 million in seed funding from prominent media and technology executives including Nancy Tellem (Executive Chairman, Eko Studios and former President of CBS Network Television Group), Daniel Murray (CFO Dollar Shave Club), Angela Mathes (Entrepreneur & former President, ABC Daytime TV) and Kent Wakeford (COO & Board Member KSV esports), among other investors. Enjoius will use the financing to invest in product development and marketing while building its operations and strategic partnerships.

Enjoius provides a one-stop online marketplace for personalized event design services that makes it easy for people to discover inspiring content, get step-by-step advice, shop hand-picked products, and hire the right event professionals to bring their event ideas to life. 

"Event planning can be overwhelming and time-consuming - from browsing hundreds of inspirational photos that lack any instructions to searching for and buying products across multiple websites," said Enjoius founder and CEO, Christopher Cunningham. "Now more than ever, people want to make their social events special and memorable like the ones they see on Instagram and Pinterest yet with less stress and more fun. However, they don't know how to create them. Enjoius solves this problem and provides an all-inclusive modern guide to planning any event all in one place."

This provides significant value to online and brick and mortar retailers looking to compete more effectively with Amazon and offer solutions to consumers with added value beyond just the product itself. Enjoius also provides insights and data to brands creating a more targeted, personalized shopping experience.

"The Enjoius platform not only solves a critical pain point in the event planning process for consumers by making it more efficient, but it also creates new opportunities for brands to increase sales by contextualizing their products with informative content, advice and services from lifestyle experts and event pros," said Nancy Tellem. "Enjoius's innovative, data-driven model is the future of lifestyle marketing."
