A spokesperson for ticketing firm Dice last week confirmed that a recent restructuring of the business led to a number of redundancies.
It followed a report by Resident Advisor, which cited sources close to the company as saying that most of Dice's creative team and a majority of its marketing team had been laid off, with management seemingly planning to rely more on freelancers working on a project basis when it comes to creative and marketing work.
A Dice spokesperson told TheTicketingBusiness.com: “We recently made the difficult decision to restructure parts of our business to ensure we can focus on our most important initiatives. This isn’t an exercise we carry out lightly and we’re sad that we have to say goodbye to colleagues that we love working with and respect enormously".
They added that the downsizing impacted less than 10% of the firm's global workforce and that the business continues to operate in all ten of its markets.
