ORLANDO, FL – March 2, 2016 – IZEA, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), operators of IZEAx, the premiere online marketplace connecting brands and publishers with influential content creators, has engaged Liolios Group to lead a new strategic investor relations and financial communications program.
“IZEA’s corporate profile has changed dramatically over the past year,” said IZEA Chairman and CEO, Ted Murphy. “Our bookings increased 171% to a record $24.5 million in 2015, driven primarily by repeat clients. We also recently closed our first contract in excess of $1 million, completed a $12.9 million warrant conversion, and uplisted to the NASDAQ Capital Market. Altogether, I believe we are now well positioned to achieve our goal of $100 million in annual bookings by 2018.”
“The company is at a pivotal point in our growth where we believe IZEA would benefit from an experienced team of professionals to help us navigate the capital markets and generate greater awareness of IZEA in the investment community,” continued Murphy. “Liolios Group brings a proven record of helping emerging growth companies like ours enhance shareholder value by delivering the right message to the right audience and establishing high-quality, long-term relationships with influential members of the financial community.”
Liolios Group will work closely with IZEA management to develop a comprehensive capital markets strategy. Activities will include messaging and corporate positioning, strategic advisory and introductions to analysts, investors and other key influencers across the financial community. They will also schedule road shows and financial conferences for management to attend over the next several months.
