"IZEA had an exceptional Q4, continuing our pattern of sequential quarter over quarter bookings growth throughout 2015," said Ted Murphy, IZEA's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to achieving the highest quarterly bookings in the history of the company, we also closed our first individual contract in excess of $1 million with a Fortune 500 company. Our average deal size grew 92% from 2014 to 2015, fueled largely by increased spending from repeat clients and increasing effectiveness of our sales organization. IZEA's positive momentum continues and we are positioned well for growth in 2016."
The company plans to release full financial results for 2015 on March 29, 2016.
