IZEA history
IZEA company history timeline
Murphy was called evil for starting the influencer marketing industry in 2006, but today it is a multi-billion-dollar space.
In July of 2007, Murphy raised another $7 million for PayPerPost, which was led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
In November of 2007, PayPerPost, Inc. changed its corporate name to IZEA, Inc. as the company began to eye a larger market for platforms and services.
Twitter-specific campaigns quickly became a demand from clients, and in 2009, IZEA launched SponsoredTweets.com, which was a self-service dedicated Twitter sponsorship platform.
Twitter itself would not start to monetize their platform with “promoted” ads until April 2010.
In 2010, the company announced WeReward at TechCrunch Disrupt.
In 2014, IZEA began to consolidate its various technologies into a single platform called IZEAx (The IZEA Exchange). IZEAx combines the learnings and best practices the company acquired over the past 10 years as it pioneered an industry.
Rate how well IZEA lives up to its initial vision.
