Orlando, Florida (November 12, 2018) – IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), operator of IZEAx®, the premier online marketplace connecting brands and publishers with influential content creators, today announced that a Fortune 500 electronics manufacturer has broadened its relationship with IZEA and signed a commitment to increase its marketplace spend through the company’s technology platforms.
