The core Team Epic employee base includes over 200 members with offices in Norwalk, Connecticut, Atlanta, Charlotte, Boston, San Francisco, and London. These employees will form client teams that are seamless in nature as client needs are met – whether strategic, creative, digital, experiential or otherwise, Epic's promise to its clients is that they will never feel compromised by agencies working in silos. "Core to the Team Epic brand promise is the idea of "personalization," said current Vivid Principal Erik Peterson. "We believe this is a pervasive thread which runs through the fabric of this new organization – whether guiding brands to develop personal relationships with consumers; the long standing personal relationships we have with our clients; and, the intensely personal approach we have to developing a top in industry culture for our employees."
"This is particularly compelling for our future clients," said current Velocity Principal Dave Grant. "Too many agencies compartmentalize their services in the areas of digital, experiential, market research and strategy. We believe our difference will be the ability to streamline services in a highly productive manner." Team Epic will be managed by an Executive Committee of current Velocity Principals Dave Grant, Mike Reisman, Bob Wilhelmy and Alex Nieroth and Vivid Principals Erik Peterson and Andy Cook (who will be Team Epic's Chief Creative Officer). Team Epic also has launched its new website at www.anepiccompany.com, effective with today's announcement.
