The suspense is over: EKO Cyprus delivered the second Mercedes-Benz GLA

Having the multi-award-winning EKO Smile app at its center and hosted by Andri Karantoni, the second EKO Smile Challenge took place as part of the New EKO Smile App Competition. It is an innovative process that sets new standards in the selection of winners!


On Thursday, November 7, 2024, Stavros Ioannou won a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, worth 49,100 Euros, after successfully completing three challenges (memory, knowledge, and skills). Throughout the challenges, representatives of the media, executives and members of EKO Cyprus' staff were present, as well as friends and relatives of the contestants.


The second EKO Smile Challenge was held in a specially designed and fully equipped space at the Mercedes Showroom in Nicosia. The CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Grigoras, presented the second winner with the second of the four Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package. The host, Andri Karantoni, once again successfully coordinated the challenge activities "FIND THE SYMBOLS," "EKO KNOWLEDGE," and "EKO PUZZLE," announcing the winner's name at the end of the evening.


The selection of contestants in the second EKO Smile Challenge took place on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, through the online platform random.org, ensuring complete transparency without any human intervention. The draw was conducted by the Mayor of Latsia and Geri, Mr. Christos Pittaras, in the presence of an independent legal advisor and executives from EKO Cyprus, thus guaranteeing the integrity of the process.


Once the second EKO Smile Challenge was completed, the CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Giorgos Grigoras, stated: "Each EKO Smile Challenge is not just an opportunity to hand over the keys of a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180 to the winner, but, above all, to honor the very spirit of reward that lies at the heart of our philosophy at EKO Cyprus. For us, rewarding is not merely a gesture of reciprocity; it is a philosophy that permeates every aspect of our operations. At EKO Cyprus, we deeply believe that people are our most important asset. You, our customers, trust us daily, and for that reason, we feel responsible to reciprocate that trust with meaningful actions. The EKO Smile app was designed with precisely this sense of reciprocity in mind. Using the app, we give you the opportunity to enter a world of privileges, offers, and of course, challenges like today's second EKO Smile Challenge..."


It is noted that the EKO Smile Contest continues until the end of this year, as two more Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, await two more winners in the last two EKO Smile Challenges.

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.
