IZEA Secures Million Dollar Influencer Marketing Contract Expansion
July 21 2021 - 10:00AM
IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), the premier provider of
influencer marketing technology, data, and services for the world’s
leading brands, announced today that it has been awarded a new $1
million contract expansion to provide influencer marketing services
to a Fortune 500 consumer electronics manufacturer.
“Team IZEA is off to a strong start for Q3 2021,
bolstered by several meaningful contract awards from repeat
customers,” said Ted Murphy, Founder, Chairman and CEO of IZEA. “We
have already set a record for the best Managed Services bookings in
the month of July, and we are continuing to see strong demand for
our expertise in the influencer marketing industry.”
IZEA recently announced that Managed Services
bookings in the second quarter of 2021 increased 187% to $11.1
million as compared to the second quarter of 2020, which were $3.9
million. IZEA’s net income and cash flow results will be announced,
along with the rest of the company’s financial performance, as part
of its Q2 2021 earnings release, which is tentatively scheduled for
August 12, 2021.
Bookings are a measure of all sales orders minus
any known cancellations or refunds with respect to such sales
orders or refunds. Management uses bookings to inform expectations
of total sales activity. Bookings are not always an indicator of
revenue for the quarter and could be subject to future adjustment.
Revenue from Managed Services bookings are typically recognized
over a 9-month period on average, though larger contracts may be
recognized over longer periods of time.
