IZEA Scores on Huge New Contract

IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:IZEA) had reason to celebrate Monday – beyond the return of most stock indexes from the Great Beyond.

The Orlando-based IZEA, operator of IZEAx®, the premier online marketplace connecting brands and publishers with influential content creators, today announced that it has been awarded a six-figure contract by a large national retailer to produce custom content in support of the brand.

IZEA says the program expands upon an existing relationship that has included both influencer marketing and custom content initiatives.

Enthused CEO Ted Murphy, "We are excited to grow our relationship and begin work on our most ambitious project to date for this client.

"Our team has been working diligently to build our pipeline of opportunities with both existing and new clients throughout this year. We expect to benefit from that effort in Q4 and believe that Q4 bookings will see strong year-over-year growth."

The stock gathered three cents, or 1.9%, to $1.59, late Monday afternoon, on a volume of more than 422,000 shares.
