ORLANDO, Fla., June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), the premier provider of technology, data, and services for the Creator Economy, today announced it appointed Stephanie Hoppe as its Head of Europe. Hoppe brings a wealth of experience in influencer marketing and strategic business development, having previously held leadership roles at Captiv8 and Relatable. She has a proven track record of driving growth and expanding business footprints in the European region.

In her new role, Stephanie will lead the strategy and direction for IZEA’s European operations, inclusive of its operations in the United Kingdom.

“Stephanie’s expertise in delivering digital, performance, integrated and creator marketing campaigns aligns perfectly with overarching growth strategy,” said Ryan Schram, IZEA President and COO. “Her positive reputation as a ‘trusted advisor’ for leading brands and proven ability to drive business growth aligns perfectly with our corporate vision being the preeminent, multinational Creator Marketing organization.”

“Marketers suffer from an overchoice of agencies, insufficient differentiation between suppliers and a lack of transparency. Without an industry benchmark on what performance excellence looks like, it’s hard to choose an optimal creator marketing partner — until now,” Hoppe said. “IZEA is the original influencer marketing pioneer with over 17 years of experience and innovation in the industry. We are the only NASDAQ-listed creator marketing company and our robust capabilities in Europe, North America, APAC, and Oceania underscores IZEA’s genuine global reach and dedication to providing exceptional services across diverse markets.”

“IZEA’s strategic approach and pioneering generative AI in creator marketing are why we’re hired by the world’s largest brands and agencies and nearly half of the Fortune 50. I’m excited to lead this next phase of our expansion in Europe,” Hoppe added.
