Launched in 2004, Team Epiphany pioneered influencer marketing as a term before Twitter or Instagram even existed. Through the power of business-proven personal relationships and integrated creative, strategy and design capabilities, award-winning agency Team Epiphany makes magic happen for clients such as Airbnb, American Express, Coca-Cola, LEGO, HBO (MAX), Campari, Amazon and many more.

Team Epiphany is led by Founder and Managing Partner Coltrane Curtis and Managing Partner Lisa Chu, who oversee a team of 100 across their New York headquarters, and Los Angeles and Miami offices. The agency’s capabilities are exemplified in its past work for:

• AMERICAN EXPRESS – For the past five years American Express has enlisted Team Epiphany to create domestic strategies, execute live experiences, and produce engaging content that delivers business results and earned impact within targeted communities. This work is best exemplified by the AMEX “100 for 100” Program (which invested $2.5 million into Black female entrepreneurs) and multiple collaborative activations and content initiatives with celebrity entrepreneurs such as Elaine Welteroth and Issa Rae.
• HBO (MAX) – Team Epiphany has been HBO’s partner for multicultural programming for more than a decade, executing over 80 marketing programs across its most iconic series, including the audience initiative Scene in Black, and campaigns for “Ballers” and “Insecure.” Notably, Team Epiphany’s work on “Insecure” resulted in unprecedented in-show integrations as well as a strategic partnership with Issa Rae’s HOORAE Media, announced in 2023.
• Heineken – 15 years ago, Team Epiphany and Heineken charted a new approach to brand collaborations for the beer/spirits industry, which is still used today. Team Epiphany’s award-winning #Heineken100 program used the brand’s distinct iconography to co-create products with 40+ partners (including A Bathing Ape, TUMI, and KITH) and seeded them to global influentials – an initiative that ran for 10 consecutive years.
• LEGO – Since 2019, Team Epiphany has partnered with The LEGO Group on a myriad of strategy, influencer, and experiential projects. A highlight of these projects was the launch (and subsequent expansion) of the innovative LEGO® Center for Creative Flow experiential series. This adults-focused series encourages free-flowing expression and mindfulness through an exclusive LEGO build moment paired with awe-inspiring and immersive elements.

“People tend to see Team Epiphany and want to compartmentalize its offerings into ‘multi-cultural’ or ‘experiential,’ but when I met the team, it became clear to me that their deep appreciation and mastery of culture is an essential ingredient for contemporary brands focused on forward-looking growth,” said Justin Lewis, chair, Constellation. “I’m excited to welcome Coltrane, Lisa, and the entire team to the network.”

“We’re excited to become a part of Stagwell and its Constellation network, a company that shares our values and looks to further Team Epiphany’s longstanding commitment to aspirational marketing, embracing culture and impacting communities of influence through our work,” said Coltrane Curtis, founder and managing partner of Team Epiphany. “As the agency celebrates its 20^th anniversary, it was important to partner with an industry-leading company that believes in the growth and evolution of what Team Epiphany will become in the future while embracing our award-winning capabilities of today.”

Team Epiphany marks Stagwell’s first acquisition of the year following an acquisitive 2023 cycle with Movers+Shakers in November, Left Field Labs in October, Tinsel Experiential Design in July, and In the Companies of Huskies in April.

This partnership combines ARound’s connected, shared AR technology that has transformed live fan experiences for professional sports teams across three professional leagues – MLB, NBA, NFL – including the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Royals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Immersal’s visual positioning system (VPS) that creates centimeter-accurate, large-scale indoor and outdoor AR experiences.

“This partnership is a game-changer in the world of sports and live entertainment as we collaborate to make stadium AR experiences more accessible and ubiquitous to all fans and types of events,” said Josh Beatty, founder and CEO, ARound. “By integrating our fan engagement platform with Immersal’s robust localization technology, we can seamlessly create dynamic digital experiences that put fans at the center of the action while scaling to new audiences around the world.”

The integration of ARound and Immersal technologies yields greater access and broader use cases of AR experiences through WebAR, enhancing the overall quality and ease of integration for in-stadium entertainment. Fans can interact with live events in real-time, participating in AR games, accessing real-time game content, and enjoying shared experiences with fellow attendees, all from their smartphones without the need for a standalone app. Brands and sponsors will also now be able to connect with audiences in innovative, meaningful ways, enhancing their marketing mix and creating new avenues for engagement.

“We’re committed to innovating and enhancing AR experiences at live events and our technology, combined with ARound’s exciting platform, will set a new benchmark in how fans interact with live sports and entertainment, offering them an engaging and memorable experience like never before,” Matias Koski, CEO, Immersal.

This groundbreaking partnership heralds a new era in fan engagement, offering sports teams, venues, and brands an unparalleled platform to connect with audiences. Combining ARound’s interactive fan experiences with Immersal’s precision technology, the stage is now set for a revolution in live entertainment.

About ARound
ARound is a first-of-its-kind stadium-level shared augmented reality platform and is part of the Stagwell Marketing Cloud, a proprietary suite of SaaS solutions built for the modern marketer. ARound keeps audiences engaged by capturing their attention through immersive, interactive and shared experiences with fellow fans across the venue. Where other AR products offer isolating, singular experiences, ARound’s massive multi-user AR – which uses 3D spatial computing to localize content – redefines what it means to be part of a connected fan experience. It was the winner of Stagwell’s annual innovation competition which invests in new product ideas proposed by the network’s 13,000+ employees. ARound and the Stagwell Marketing Cloud are a part of Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing.
