Orlando, Florida, Sept. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), the premier provider of influencer marketing technology, data, and services for the world’s leading brands and agencies, today announced that it has secured a low-seven-figure content production contract with a leading EdTech company, a recurring customer. IZEA’s network of creators will produce custom content to increase brand exposure and website traffic for the client. The program will run through end of year.

"The majority of the branded content created through our network is shared on a creator's social media as part of an influencer partnership, but we also serve as the dedicated custom content creator behind the scenes for top brands," said Ted Murphy, Founder and CEO of IZEA. "We have the capability to enhance or substitute a conventional content team with a widespread network of creators enthusiastic about almost any topic. This specific collaboration aligns perfectly with our network since many creators have honed their skills via online learning and have a natural inclination toward everything digital."

IZEA provides custom-tailored content development services, from brief videos to product reviews. Writers, photographers, and videographers can be accessed directly through The Creator Marketplace at izea.com.
