Johnny Monsarrat Expands Operation in Boston
Globe Building
(1888 PressRelease) Johnny Monsarrat is the
founder and CEO of Hard Data Factory, the company
that owns and runs Events INSIDER a popular new
England events site. Boston, MA - Johnny
Monsarrat already runs the largest events blog in
New England, Events INSIDER, and it got bigger
this week with the hire of an arts editor. Based
in the Boston Globe headquarters, as a separate
organization providing events to the Globe,
Events INSIDER's focus is interactivity. They
avoid sit down, shut up events such as indoor
concerts, but have the largest list of outdoor
concerts in Boston and beyond. Every year, Events
INSIDER lists 4,000 outdoor summer movies,
concerts, and theatre shows. The website is well
known for its giant lists of festivals, parades,
and oddball events such as the New England Elvis
Festival, which draws 50 Elvis re-enactors to a
celebration in New Hampshire. Johnny Monsarrat
announced this week that his new arts editor will
be Mike Hoban, a longtime journalist and theatre
reviewer at Events INSIDER and elsewhere. "We
share a similar vision," Johnny Monsarrat said.
"We shy away from religious and alcohol events,
and prefer off-beat events that are interactive
or outdoorsy in some way." Mike's work as the
arts editor will include choosing which press
releases to run, representing Events INSIDER to
arts organizations to secure promotional ticket
giveaways and press reviews, and managing the
team of reviewers.

Now in his 8th year as creator and managing
editor of Events INSIDER, Johnny Monsarrat will
continue to manage research. "We don't like to
just sit and wait for press releases to come in,"
he said. "We go out and discover how amazing the
arts are in New England, and then make
recommendations to our readers. It's a labor of
love." About Johnny Monsarrat Johnny Monsarrat
