Creative Directors: Inspire Your Community!

As an EPIC host you’ll…

Nominate a senior creative and, if desired, a mid/junior creative to direct the team and its creative output. You will energize your community with a new project that demonstrates an office-wide commitment to making the world a better, healthier, and more equitable place.

Invest in the creative community by inviting others from outside of your office environment to share in your workstyle. It’s like the best reality show you have never seen! You will expand your network by working with creatives of all stripes, including people whose talents and competencies you might not otherwise be introduced to.

Provide office space in which a creative team meets once weekly, for two hours each meeting, during an 8-week creative rally. You commit to a finite but high-impact timeframe of only 8 weeks, after which EPIC works with the nonprofit on roll out.

Invite your agency’s contacts to EPIC’s end-of-year fundraising event, where creatives and nonprofit leaders from all rally teams will gather to celebrate. At the event, your agency will announce the work whose creation you hosted.

Compete for the chance to win the “Most EPIC Award,” selected by a panel of industry leaders, and EPIC’s “People’s Choice Award,” determined by an open voting process–both announced at the year-end EPIC party.

You’ll give back in more ways than one, supporting:
1. The creative industry
2. A nonprofit engaged in social change, and, by extension,
3. The children and families served by that nonprofit.
