We build with curiosity, creativity, and a little weirdness… because fun is a feature.

Our Mission

Scale human creativity through intelligent machine collaboration.

We believe the future of work is not human or machine… it’s human plus machine. AI can start, enhance, or finish the job- but the spark of intent is human. At COEY, we build systems that co-create alongside people, not just for them. We use automation to remove the grind and unlock creative freedom. Our systems are designed to make people faster, sharper, and more powerful… whether they’re writing scripts, launching campaigns, or running a company.

Our Founder

TED MURPHY

Ted is a serial entrepreneur and 30 year marketing technologist. Prior to founding COEY, he founded IZEA, pioneering the influencer marketing industry and taking the company public at just 35. Under his leadership, IZEA raised more than $140 million in capital and delivered over $5 billion in shareholder liquidity. Murphy has built and scaled multiple companies at the intersection of media, technology, and creativity.

Today, he continues to push boundaries with forward thinking brands, agencies, and creators at COEY.

Ted is the father of influencer marketing, creating the first marketplace that powered nearly 4 million brand–creator collaborations.

“In June of 2006, Murphy launched PayPerPost, the first automated digital marketplace connecting advertisers with influencers from the blogosphere and beyond.” – WIRED

Company Values

EMPOWER PEOPLE

Automation should never replace creativity. It should unlock it. Our tools strip away the grind so people can focus on ideas, storytelling, and impact. Human potential amplified.

DELIVER RELENTLESSLY

We are not about ego. We are about output. We test learn optimize and repeat. Quiet confidence and high throughput drive results that speak for themselves.

CELEBRATE MAGIC

AI is awe-inspiring. It creates the unimaginable at impossible speed. We celebrate that magic while staying curious and grounded in how it transforms creativity.

LEAD RESPONSIBLY

Just because we can does not mean we should. We design ethically, educate openly, and prioritize long-term trust over short-term wins. Responsibility is the foundation.

STAY CURIOUS

We reverse-engineer trends instead of chasing them. By testing new models and workflows constantly we separate hype from what is real and deliver the future today.

TEACH BOLDLY

We do not gatekeep. We share knowledge freely so creators and clients can thrive in this fast-moving space. Smarter humans make better AI and better AI makes smarter humans.

HAVE FUN

Fun is fuel. We build joy into our systems our culture and our content. From weird prompts to legendary threads we believe fun is a feature not a bug.
