IZEA Flex Media

We reimagined and supercharged the influencer discovery experience. Search through millions of social profiles and filter across channels, demographics and locations to find the right creator for your campaign.

Flex aggregates performance data across links and social handles, surfacing sales and conversion metrics from both Google Analytics and Shopify-with more integrations launching in the coming months.

Less fees for marketers. More money for creators. We are introducing a flat fee per transaction - just $2, to send an electronic payment via our long-time payment partners at PayPal.

The all-new ContentMine makes collecting and measuring content faster and easier than ever, taking advantage of Flex associations and our newly enhanced content discovery engine.

IZEA Flex Demo - IZEA Flex Tracking Links

Flex's Tracking Links are powered by a full-featured enterprise link shortener with support for custom domains. We utilize dynamic UTM parameters that update in real-time.

"IZEA has opened up more time and energy in my schedule"

5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

I love that Unity Suite puts the responsibility on both parties to meet their end of an agreement. It keeps expectations in check with automatic "check ins" of content to ensure consistency with our client-approved version. It provides clear "next steps" for the creator to execute, rather than going back and forth via email. These small features are able to create a big difference in saving time in the little details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

I dislike the inability to post live links on the marketer's end to collect analytics. The "manual verification" does not pull through numbers and you are not able to undue that verification. It makes tracking down the creator tough to get those numbers from them off the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IZEA Flex:

I would recommend that you strategize what you want your influencer campaigns to look like and how they function BEFORE deciding on what tool is best for them. IZEA is great for those keeping track of 1-3 clients (agency side) and smaller influencer campaigns. There are certain steps that you have to take extra time to work around, but once you get the hang of the site and its good and bad parts, it is a very helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IZEA Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

IZEA Unity Suite is streamlining our influencer programming by keeping the messaging consistent. I can post to all creators and know they all received the same campaign information and have mandatory elements that the site will ensure they execute. This takes the pressure off going back and forth via individual emails and losing track of who knows what across a campaign of 10-15 influencers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IZEA is great platform for all-encompassing influencer marketing management."

3.5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

IZEA's Unity Suite makes it very easy to find, onboard, monitor/track, and analyze influencer marketing programs for our clients. We moved to IZEA from Mavrck and are very happy with the decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

The Unity Search functionality can be problematic at times, as can other areas of the platform (e.g., chats continuing to be marked as "unread" when they are not). Also, the system times out and logs the user out -- but it's not obvious when this happens and work can be lost. A "you will be logged out" message would help.

Recommendations to others considering IZEA Flex:

Do your due diligence! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IZEA Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping our agency leverage influencer marketing as a strategic asset for our clients. It benefits our clients as well through programs focused on brand awareness, product consideration, and conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good platform for connecting with influencers"

4/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

IZEA helps you discover and organize your influencer database all in one place. I also love that you can compensate creators right on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

I wish there were more options for B2B influencers. However, it is a growing market so hopefully more will be in there as the platform grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Inspired Media Group Review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

The initial Training was great. The support when there is an issue is also outstanding. We love the ability to find influencers and communicate with them directly all in one place. We also appreciate the ability to see what types of influencer postings are happening using the Viz search tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

The main stumbling block for us so far has been in connecting with Influencers. The process is not straightforward. In just a small segment, we reached out to about 25 Influencers, most of whom never responded back to us. Others responded back, but the communication back and forth was cumbersome, sometimes going days without a response back. One influencer even shared with us that they use the mobile version, and options were missing for them to submit their assets back to us via the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IZEA Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest issue we are solving is the ability to get our message out to target groups of people that would be very difficult, if not impossible, to connect within a timely and cost-efficient manner. In the short time, we have been using the platform, we have been able to connect and monetize several influencer channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Customer Service and Functionality"

5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

I love that the IZEA team is very helpful when it comes to campaigns and working with influencers. They do their best to protect us as business owners and the influencers in everything they do. We've been running campaigns with IZEA for a year now and it's been a great partnership. We love IZEA! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

Nothing really. I wish the influencers would be more mindful of uploading their analytics to the platform, but IZEA can't control that lol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IZEA Flex:

It makes your influencer search and campaign progress seamless. If you create your deliverables correctly IZEA also financially protects your company and yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IZEA Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding quality and on-brand influencers for our campaigns is right at our fingertips. All of the influencers we've worked with from IZEA have provided quality results and we love that we can research their engagement before and during campaigns. I would love to see IZEA implemented into an app for brand owners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty comprehensive self-serve influencer platform"

3.5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

The vizsearch feature is very useful and different way to discover influencers posting about certain topics, themes, etc while still being able to apply filters to your search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

The in-platform messaging is not great, often messages disappear or you don't receive notifications about new messages. Some of the features and functionality are not the most intuitive, such as making changes to deliverable due dates or publication dates. I have had to reach out to customer service routinely but they are typically very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Izea is a gamechanger for Record Label Influencer Marketing"

5/5

What do you like best about IZEA Flex?

We are a successful independent record label, and there's no better way to share good music to new fans than having influencers share that music with their following. We struggled making handshake deals, and once we started with Izea, we were able to ramp up our efforts 10 fold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IZEA Flex?

The interface can bury important information into subsegments that can be tough to find. I have missed some great content as it was stuck waiting for me to review it but I never knew they were waiting on me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
