“Our creators are heavy mobile users and spend much of their day creating content on-the-go,” said Chris Staymates, Vice President of Engineering at IZEA. “We want to make it as easy as possible for them to transact with brands in a way that matches their lifestyle. This substantial update extends the capabilities of the existing iOS app. Not only have we refined the overall experience and made communication with marketers easier, we have also added two new ways for creators to monetize their influence from the palm of their hands.”

Key improvements in IZEAx for iOS 2.0 include:

• SocialLinks now extends beyond the browser for the first time with IZEA for iOS 2.0, enabling creators to search for products and generate affiliate links for leading brands. The program now includes eBay, Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Macy’s, amongst other leading online retailers.
• IZEA’s newly announced ContentAmp is launching simultaneously on desktop and on mobile devices. It allows creators to earn money on a cost-per-click basis for promoting content from top publishers and brands.
• The introduction of Message Center, a set of features that streamlines communication between marketers and creators. Message Center provides an integrated view of all campaigns, allowing both parties to easily manage workflow on simultaneous projects.
