Sports Marketing USA Is Now epikkos™ Offering Legendary Fan Experiences
April 30 2024 - 8:45AM
Sports Marketing USA, a leader in sports fan vacation experiences
for more than 30 years, today announced that the company has
rebranded as epikkos™. The name epikkos, a variant of the Greek
word for “epik,” reflects the company’s expanded commitment to
providing once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences to fans who love
sports, fine food, and entertainment.
Sports Marketing USA has been offering sports fans unique
experiences since 2009. The company partners with Major League
Baseball, 10 MLB clubs, the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA), and other sports organizations to create custom
travel packages for Spring Training, Road Trips, and exhibitions
like the MLB World Tour. The new epikkos brand reflects an expanded
commitment to offer fan experiences beyond sports, including custom
travel packages for food, wine, and entertainment clients. For
example, an epikkos partner may want to host a special wine tour of
Napa Valley, an excursion with a celebrity chef, travel to an album
launch party, or an exclusive trip to a pop concert venue.
“As we continue to expand our business, it became clear that our
name did not adequately convey who we are or what we have to
offer,” said Lisa Goularte, CEO of epikkos. “Our decision to become
epikkos reflects our commitment to delivering epik travel packages
to fans who are passionate about food, wine, music, art, and other
experiences beyond sports. The name epikkos accurately reflects the
epik travel experiences we can deliver on behalf of our
partners.”
epikkos is a leader in turnkey experiential travel, creating
legendary fan experiences for partners. Whether it is a sporting
event, a concert, a wine tour, or other experience, epikkos extends
fan engagement beyond ticket sales and merchandise. Drawing on
decades of travel experience and relationships, the epikkos team
can secure 30% to 35% discounts on accommodations and travel,
generating substantial revenue for partners while adding value for
fans, creating lasting memories, and reinforcing customer
loyalty.
“Since we began offering travel experiences, we have had 70%
customer retention, so we know that our partners find value in the
fan programs we offer,” said Greta Oyler, CFO of epikkos. “We have
a passion for what we do that translates into providing our
customers with the highest levels of care and personalized
attention. We see a larger market for innovative fan experiences,
and as epikkos, we are better positioned to attract new
partners.”
