Who We Are

Culture is what you make it.

The people you work with. The art you create. The adventures you take. Your experiences build stories you’ll tell for a lifetime. Whether you work at EPIC Creative, with one of our clients, or you’re a member of our community, we’re committed to making sure those stories bring a smile to your face. Work hard + be nice to people.

More 6th Avenue than Madison Avenue

West Bend has been EPIC’s home for more than 25 of our 35+ years. It’s thriving with locally owned coffee shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. It’s a unique experience that’s the right speed for those who are over the downtown ad agency scene.

  • I get to walk into an environment where every day I’m surrounded by people who want to support each other.

  • There’s more freedom here. More space for creativity. More green space. Fresh air. More space for curiosity. That’s more valuable than anything … that’s what makes us EPIC.

Community thrives when its members lend their talents to those in need. That’s why we proudly support many local nonprofits.

Leadership

Our leaders are in the business, not on it.

EPIC Creative doesn’t have a CEO. We’re led by a group of four partners dedicated to making great creative and providing a rewarding place to work.

Lisa reached out to EPIC when we put out an ad looking for a “right brain/left brain accountant.” For more than 12 years, she’s been overseeing EPIC’s finances and accounting team. Away from the office, Lisa is an avid photographer and loves to hunt turkey and deer.
