Market Position

A boutique but influential multicultural and experiential marketing agency known for cultural authenticity and access to tastemaker communities, acquired by Endeavor in 2019.

Overview

Team Epiphany was a New York City-based integrated marketing and experiential agency founded by Coltrane Curtis and Lisa Chu. The agency built its reputation on connecting brands with multicultural, urban, and tastemaker audiences through culturally resonant campaigns that blended experiential marketing, influencer strategy, social media, and content creation. It was widely recognized for its deep roots in hip-hop, streetwear, and Black and Latino culture, making it a go-to partner for brands seeking authentic engagement with these communities. The agency worked with a broad roster of major brands across fashion, consumer electronics, spirits, automotive, and entertainment, including clients such as Beats by Dre, Pepsi, Samsung, and others. Team Epiphany distinguished itself by combining cultural intelligence with strategic marketing execution, offering services that ranged from brand strategy and creative development to event production and influencer marketing. Its founders were themselves embedded in the culture they marketed to, lending the agency a credibility that was difficult for larger, traditional agencies to replicate. In 2019, Team Epiphany was acquired by Endeavor (formerly WME-IMG), the global entertainment, sports, and content company. The acquisition was part of Endeavor's broader strategy to expand its marketing and brand consulting capabilities. Following the acquisition, Team Epiphany was integrated into Endeavor's portfolio of agencies, and its distinct independent brand presence diminished significantly as it became absorbed into the larger corporate structure.
