About Us.

 

We’ve been building our business since 2003, but our passion for sports started much earlier. We know the sports business and its challenges first hand. We’ve navigated non-profits, board and stakeholders approvals, limited budgets, and tight timelines, and have come out successfully on the other side.

The Epic Philosophy

High Performance Creative isn’t just a tagline, it’s how the Epic team approaches life! Our clients and partners are guaranteed:

Enthusiastic, passionate and energetic conversations; 

Polished, professional and refined deliverables;

Integrity in our approach

Consistency in our process and design

 

Our Services

The core of our services involves building stellar brands, websites and graphic design. Every project is unique, so we have also found ourselves collaborating successfully in areas such as content and social media marketing, and app development. Once in a while, a blue unicorn of a project comes along where we get to design a merchandise line or tackle a building, RV or car wrap.

Other Services

Art Direction

We art direct your photo shoot to ensure it aligns with your vision, and can recommend the best photographer for your project.

Illustration

We produce custom artwork illustration in-house, tailored to a brand, campaign or product.

Support Resources

Have different needs beyond the status quo? Beyond our in-house expertise, we work closely with external specialists in the focused areas of photography, content marketing, public relations, video production, mobile application development and copy writing to make your vision a reality. Want to push the envelope? Challenge accepted.

Andi’s work for the 2010 Cultural Olympiad was nothing short of spectacular. Under intense deadline pressure Andi created a series of highly successful event programs, catalogues and other marketing collateral for this groundbreaking Olympic & Paralympic arts festival. Her work was consistently inspired, clean and well organized. She was always calm, pleasant and capable of discerning our needs and desires with minimal direction.
