IZEA Announces Shake™
Pre-Registration Now Open for Creators
Orlando, Florida, June 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: ), the premier provider of influencer marketing technology, data, and services for the world’s leading brands, today announced the launch of Shake™, a new online marketplace that allows creators to offer their services, delivered digitally, for a self-determined price. Influencers, photographers, writers, musicians, and more can use IZEA’s Shake to collaborate and transact with marketers and individual buyers. Creators list available “Shakes” on their accounts in the platform and marketers select and purchase creative packages from them through a streamlined chat experience, assisted by ShakeBot™ - a proprietary, artificial intelligence assistant.
Early registration access to Shake for creators is available beginning today.
“Shake represents a paradigm shift for IZEA and further expands our efforts to democratize the Creator Economy,” said Ted Murphy, Founder and CEO of IZEA. “Our team has reimagined how we can fuel more opportunities for our network of over 850,000 creators and help them reach a much broader base of potential buyers. The premise of Shake flips our existing marketplace model from a private platform, utilized primarily by large agencies and brands, to a public platform where marketers of all sizes can engage them for creative services of all types. Strategically for the company, it’s the perfect companion offering to IZEAx Unity Suite utilizing our vast network and existing technology frameworks in a whole new way.”
“Prior to today, it was the marketer who initiated opportunities and invited creators to participate,” continued Murphy. “With Shake, creators are the ones who offer their specific creative services to marketers at a fixed price with defined deliverables. The vision for Shake is predicated on creators suppling a myriad of services to agencies, brands, and even consumers, through a frictionless, e-commerce storefront where the workflow is managed through an A.I.-based chat experience.”

Shake is currently in pre-registration. Early access to Shake will be granted to vetted creators via unique access codes which will be distributed to such creators for a limited period of time, in IZEA’s sole discretion, prior to general availability.
