<figure><img src="/files/8bxGYrxIvAyh89EZwZ5y" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In 2018, Epik started working with brands and games on a mission to produce premium digital items because they believed that digital items were the future of consumer products and would play a central role in ownership and the way we express ourselves individually.&#x20;

They see collections of digital items as representations of personal memories and achievements while conveying attributes like **status**, **identity**, **membership**, **class**, and **performance**.

**Today, hundreds of brands and game companies trust Epik to produce premium digital items and experiences for over one billion gamers.**
