EKO Cyprus gives away the first Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package

EKO Cyprus handed over the keys of a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180 
to the first winner of the new EKO Smile App Contest!


Starring the multi-award-winning EKO Smile app and hosted by Andri Karantoni, the first EKO Smile Challenge took place as part of the new EKO Smile App Contest. It is a groundbreaking way—by Cypriot standards—of showcasing each winner!


On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, Mr. Dimitris Georgiou won a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, valued at €49,100, after successfully completing three challenges (memory, knowledge, and skills). Present throughout the challenges were representatives of the media, executives and members of EKO Cyprus' staff, as well as friends and relatives of the contestants.


The first EKO Smile Challenge made its "premiere" in a specially designed and fully equipped space at the Mercedes Showroom in Nicosia, where the CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Grigoras, handed over the first of four Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, to the first winner. Once again, the evening's host, Andri Karantoni, coordinated the challenge process, which included "FIND THE SYMBOLS," "EKO KNOWLEDGE," and "EKO PUZZLE," and announced the winner's name at the end.


The first scheduled contestant selection process took place on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, through the online platform random.org, which does not allow any human interference whatsoever. This procedure was carried out by the Mayor of Latsia and Geri, Mr. Christos Pittaras, in the presence of an independent Legal Advisor—to ensure the transparency of the process—and senior management of EKO Cyprus.


After the completion of the first EKO Smile Challenge, the CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Giorgos Grigoras, stated: "The public's love for the EKO Smile app was the reason behind the launch of the new EKO Smile Contest, an initiative of rewards that offers a unique return experience. We are particularly proud that, for four years now, the popular and innovative EKO Smile app has earned a special place in our customers' daily lives, continuously improving their shopping experience. Rewarding, with a focus on people, is a key pillar in all our development strategies. That's why, as EKO Cyprus, we continue to respond to modern challenges with initiatives that promote loyalty, reliability, and quality."


The EKO Smile Contest continues until the end of this year, as three more Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, await three winners as part of three more EKO Smile Challenges.
Participation is exclusively available to those who have installed the EKO Smile app on their mobile devices!

A few words about the EKO Smile App

The EKO Smile App was introduced to the Cypriot market in 2020 and is a smart and complete digital solution for mobile phones. It is a fully functional and popular app that is available to download on Google Play, App Store and Αpp Gallery. In the last three years, the app has continuously been upgraded to improve the purchasing experience of the users, making every purchase even easier than before.


Amongst other things, the EKO Smile App gives the user the power to release the pump at the service station and pay for fuel and other products and services from a distance. The app also collects for its users Smiles, earned with every purchase of any product or service at all EKO service stations. Smiles can then be redeemed to purchase various products at reduced and attractive prices.
