“Establishing a direct relationship with a Fortune 10 company requires time, dedication, and attention to detail,” said Ted Murphy, Founder, Chairman and CEO of IZEA. “The rigor applied to partner review and selection sets a high bar that few can clear. Our team invested years of concerted effort to win our first commitment and become an approved vendor. That investment, combined with an ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality service, has resulted in ongoing influencer marketing initiatives being awarded to IZEA. We are delighted to celebrate our fifth fiscal year working together and optimistic about expansion of our relationship in 2021 and beyond.”
