Interview with Tarja Repo, Marketing Manager and Team Lead at Epical
Epical’s journey began with a vision to redefine data consultancy in the Nordics. Originally part of Enfo, a leading IT consultancy, Epical became an independent brand following a demerger in 2023. With its roots in Enfo’s consulting division, the company was created to focus on data management, analytics, integrations, and digital trust. While the brand is new, the team brings years of experience and expertise in working with data.

The rebranding process started with an important question: What does Epical stand for? Through conversations with over 400 consultants, one key theme stood out—trust. Trust is at the center of everything Epical does, from working with people to managing data safely.
This focus on trust also shaped the name "Epical." The name was chosen to represent the company’s professionalism, expertise, and teamwork while being easy to remember. Inspired by the word "epic," it reflects something big and forward-looking, symbolizing the company’s goal of building a better future.

With this foundation, the new identity was built around the idea: “Towards a future we can all trust.” Working with Identity Works, Epical turned this vision into a bold, welcoming, and dynamic brand that reflects its purpose and values.
Why the Change?
The rebranding happened as part of a strategic separation. On June 1, 2023, Enfo’s consulting division became Epical, focusing solely on data consultancy, while Enfo continued as an IT services provider. This shift allowed Epical to sharpen its focus on data management, analytics, integrations, and digital trust—areas where it excels.
By creating this clear division, Epical established itself as a specialist in the Nordics, with a mission to deliver data solutions that make a real impact.

New Logo
The new logo design centers on connecting business with life, incorporating flexibility, warmth, and inclusivity. Each letter in the logo is formed from a continuous loop, symbolizing a modern and forward-thinking approach, which aligns with our concept of “showing the way.”
This design reflects the essence of Epical—guiding clients through the data-driven landscape with expertise and a trustworthy, innovative spirit.

New Color Palette
In a competitive landscape dominated by blue, we wanted to break away from industry norms. Energetic orange was chosen as the primary color, representing life, energy, and human connection. Purple was added as a complementary color to reflect data and security, while pastel shades bring warmth and versatility.

This vibrant combination stands out in the market and reflects Epical’s values of trust, innovation, and inclusivity. Together, the colors create a modern and approachable identity that reinforces the company’s focus on building a brighter future through data.
Agency Collaboration
We knew that rebranding Epical was a major task, and Identity Works played a key role in making it a success. From helping us create the brand name to designing our visual identity, they worked closely with us every step of the way to bring our vision to life.
Our goal was clear: to build a brand that radiates trust, ambition, and warmth, and Identity Works helped us achieve that.

My favorite elements are the illustrations, which we have named as “Epipeople”. They were crafted specifically for us by a skilled illustrator, to depict our services and company virtues in a warm, friendly, and approachable way.
