SYDNEY, Australia, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA), the premier provider of technology, data, and services for the Creator Economy, today announced that the Australian Influencer Marketing Council (AiMCO) has named Hoozu the best boutique influencer agency at its annual AiMCO Awards ceremony in Sydney.
The AiMCO Awards recognize outstanding partnerships between brands and creators that captivate audiences with authentic, original, engaging content.
"The influencer marketing industry is wonderfully unique,” said Natalie Giddings, Hoozu CEO. “We get to work with a diverse array of creative people from all walks of life every day. This recognition not only celebrates our team’s hard work and passion but also those creators who help bring our ideas to life.”
IZEA acquired Hoozu in December 2023 as part of its broader ongoing strategy to expand its global footprint. Hoozu serves regional brands, including Bunnings, Emma Sleep, Super Cheap Auto, and Ryobi. In addition to its core services, Hoozu’s talent management division, Huume, represents creators in the Australian market.
“I’m thrilled for Natt and our entire Hoozu team on this well-deserved industry honor,” said Ryan Schram, IZEA President and COO. “We’ve always known Hoozu to be passionate innovators and trusted advisers for their clients, and it’s rewarding to see that recognized in such a meaningful way.”
Hoozu and Huume received three overall nominations in the 2023 awards, including recognition for its Garage Goals Campaign with Pinnacle Hardware.
