Winter Park, Florida, UNITED STATES Orlando, Florida, June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA ), the premier provider of influencer marketing technology, data, and services for the world’s leading brands and agencies, today announced it has been awarded a new mid-six-figure contract to promote a national specialty retailer. The influencer marketing program will be executed throughout 2023 across multiple social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. “While the first quarter of this year was not as strong as we would have liked it to be, we have seen a progressive increase in bookings over the past three months, with May being our strongest bookings month for Managed Services so far in 2023,” said Ted Murphy, IZEA Chairman and CEO. “In addition to bookings, as we previously reported, our new opportunity pipeline hit an all-time high this month, which continues to give us optimism for the back half of this year. We are aggressively pursuing new customers in an effort to diversify our revenue base and reduce customer concentration.” Bookings are a measure of all sales orders minus any known or expected 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 adjustments. Revenues from Managed Services bookings are typically recognized over a nine-month period on average. To work with IZEA as either an influencer or a marketer, visit izea.com .
