“Stephanie’s expertise in delivering digital, performance, integrated and creator marketing campaigns aligns perfectly with overarching growth strategy,” said Ryan Schram, IZEA President and COO. “Her positive reputation as a ‘trusted advisor’ for leading brands and proven ability to drive business growth aligns perfectly with our corporate vision being the preeminent, multinational Creator Marketing organization.”

“Marketers suffer from an overchoice of agencies, insufficient differentiation between suppliers and a lack of transparency. Without an industry benchmark on what performance excellence looks like, it’s hard to choose an optimal creator marketing partner — until now,” Hoppe said. “IZEA is the original influencer marketing pioneer with over 17 years of experience and innovation in the industry. We are the only NASDAQ-listed creator marketing company and our robust capabilities in Europe, North America, APAC, and Oceania underscores IZEA’s genuine global reach and dedication to providing exceptional services across diverse markets.”
