Social Strategy at Epic Signal

New York, New York, United States

We are Epic Signal, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mekanism, which is just a fancier way of saying that we’re the all things digital/social/influencer arm of Mekanism, an independent ad agency. 

We solve real business problems using a strategic blend of social media, influencers, and content.  It’s basically just advertising. We do it for brands your Mom’s heard of – Amazon, Mountain Dew, YouTube, MillerCoors, Starbucks and a few others.  Our innovative approach to get asses in seats and move product from shelves has earned Agency of the Year Awards the past two years, numerous Effies, two Harvard case studies and all sorts of industry hardware. 

We take great pride in making unconventional campaigns for brands in conventional categories.  Our patented blend of storytelling for emerging media takes a small army of Mekanistas to pull off.  What is a Mekanista you ask? Being a Mekanista requires a rare combination of being a strange, wonderful and talented person who enjoys coffee, crying, ping-pong and impromptu rooftop jam and workout sessions.  We are smart, strange, wonderful folks that brave our contentious and often violent brainstorming sessions to make advertising magic.

Our Capabilities:
Social Media Strategy + Community Management: We have a deep understanding of social platforms and how to tap into, create and grow audiences online on behalf of brands.

Influencer Marketing: We develop, strategize and implement ambassador programs on behalf of brands across platforms.

Social Media Distribution: We own the process by which ideas are promoted through Earned, Owned and Paid Media.
