EWI Worldwide
EWI Worldwide is an experience marketing company with heart. We help marketers at product-driven companies connect with their customers through a combination of exhibits, events, and retail environments.
EWI opened its doors 38 years ago in a small workshop with six friends and one client. Our goal was to prove there is a better way to help others succeed in this industry we love so much. And while EWI has grown to six global locations, we have been defined by innovation and passion ever since.
Bridging both the physical and digital worlds, we transform raw ideas, materials, and spaces into purposeful moments. Moments that raise awareness, increase loyalty, and drive sales. Our work for clients such as Amazon, Ford, and Qualcomm has appeared everywhere from college campuses and auto shows to Olympic pavilions. We’re consistently trusted to design and build experiences that grow relationships and revenue. In fact, our first–and current–client has grown sales by more than $3 billion a year.

Additional Culture Details
EWI Worldwide is an experience marketing company with heart. Dominic Silvio opened EWI’s doors in 1979 with a goal to prove that there was a better way to help others succeed in an industry built on making personal, emotional connections.
While EWI has grown to six global locations, they have been defined by this innovative and passionate spirit ever since. It’s one of the benefits to having an original owner who is still steering the ship today. The company has been able to maintain its purpose and attract a like-minded group of people.
In turn, there’s a shared drive amongst EWI’s team to help others, to make a positive impact in their work and their world. Professionally, it means that their clients rest easy and that the exhibits, events and retail environments they create are purposeful—that they provide useful information and make people’s lives easier. Internally, it extends to the culture and camaraderie of their team.
At EWI there is a shared sense of family, a culture that encourages team members to give to others in times of need. When one of their employees is hit by hardship, the entire company comes together to help. Last year, the team banded together to raise funds for an employee who had lost his home in a fire, and for many years EWI held a memorial golf outing to honor the memory of two coworkers and raise money for their young families.
That’s what happens when a leader values employees as individuals and cares about who they are as people. A lot of companies talk a big game when it comes to employee support, but EWI delivers with an approach that is grounded in trust. EWI empowers its team to make decisions and provides an incredible level of flexibility: the freedom to work from home, to leave early to pick up the kids, to chaperone field trips, spend birthdays with loved ones, and even self-manage the amount of vacation time they need to be their best.
Add that to the other perks—like food truck days, foosball tournaments, tuition reimbursement, ice cream carts, and personal training—and it’s easy to see why few want to leave. An impressive 60% percent of employees have been with the company for more than 5 years and several clients have stayed with EWI for more than 30, including the first client they opened their doors with!
