Entrepreneur launches ‘lifestyle planner’ social media platform

A Birmingham-based entrepreneur has launched a social media platform that allows users to list, plan and find things to do.

Ch!tzo is a lifestyle planner designed to satisfy social lives through a search facility that lists social activities and events spanning the UK.

Richard Gwatkin created the platform after recognising that advances in technology have changed how people interact and engage with one another.

Gwatkin said: “I’m extremely excited to announce the launch of Ch!tzo. We really believe that we have filled a gap in the market that enables people to successfully list, find and increase footfall for events and other social activities.

“A lot of smaller businesses and solopreneurs don’t have the marketing spend available for a large promotion and struggle to get their activities found. Ch!tzo solves that, whilst helping users find something to do.

“We all know what it’s like to struggle in finding suitable activities for the kids or when you are visiting a new location during a city break. We are, therefore, hopeful that both listers and users will quickly see the benefit as the platform grows.”

He added: “The whole team have been fantastic. To bring Ch!tzo this far in such a short space of time is a massive achievement, where we now have a great product and an engaging brand, with the whole team excited to push on to the next phase.”
