Toronto, Canada (August 24, 2018) — IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), operator of IZEAx®, the premier online marketplace connecting brands and publishers with influential content creators, today announced that they have been selected to support a key product refresh for a multinational retailer throughout the Canadian market. The recent win expands upon work that IZEA has done on behalf of the retail partner in the past.
“Our Toronto-based team has done a tremendous job building relationships with leading brands and agencies across Canada,” said Ted Murphy, Founder and CEO of IZEA Worldwide. “The early investment we made in establishing a Canadian office and staffing it with local team members who understand the market innately has led to a material contribution to IZEA Worldwide overall performance. Canadian bookings have increased every year and 1H 2018 bookings increased 28% over 1H 2017. Our ability to execute bilingual campaigns, combined with significant expansion of our resident-Canadian influencer network positions us well in an emerging market for our services and technology alike.”
