A veteran finance exec has been named president of CreatorIQ, a new influencer marketing company.

Murray has been on the CreatorIQ board since 2014. His new position as president includes leading the companies US and international expansion efforts.

Quiet rebrand

CreatorIQ is a rebrand of marketing company SocialEdge. Their roster includes top clients such as Disney, Fullscreen, Fox and Airbnb. The company is based in Culver City, California and has offices in New York and Chicago.
