IZEA Worldwide (NASDAQ: IZEA) is an influencer marketing company that connects brands and advertising agencies with social media creators to plan, execute, and measure sponsored content campaigns. Revenue comes primarily from Managed Services, where IZEA charges marketers fees to develop and run influencer campaigns end-to-end, with technology-enabled subscription access as a secondary, de-emphasized offering. The company was founded in February 2006 as PayPerPost, Inc., became public in May 2011, and is incorporated in Nevada. Total revenue was $31.2 million in FY2025 and $35.9 million in FY2024, with Adjusted EBITDA of $666,449 (2.1% margin) in FY2025. The accumulated deficit stood at $104.3 million as of December 31, 2025. Patrick J. Venetucci was appointed CEO on September 6, 2024, following the resignation of founder Edward H. Murphy. Two customers each represented approximately 12.4% and 12.5% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025.

Revenue model

Managed Services fees billed to marketers for full-service influencer campaign execution, described in the FY2025 10-K as historically accounting for substantially all revenue. A secondary subscription-based, self-service technology access model exists but is not the current strategic focus.

Value-chain role

Intermediary and managed service provider sitting between marketer clients and independent social media creators. IZEA handles campaign strategy, creator sourcing, workflow compliance, performance measurement, and payment to creators, supported by its proprietary technology platform.
