Santikos Entertainment - Be a Part of the Legacy
Santikos Entertainment, formerly Santikos Theatres, a group of premier theater and entertainment venues in San Antonio and Houston, unveils its new corporate image, name change and mission. The Santikos rebranding reflects both the evolution of the company and the vision for its future as a social enterprise.
Santikos, as part of the estate of the late John L. Santikos, was gifted to the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation in 2015, marking it as one of the largest single charitable donations in the history of San Antonio and in the United States that year. Santikos Entertainment now exists for the sole benefit of the communities in which it operates. The dollars spent on movie tickets and amenities are funneled back into the local community in the form of donations, sponsorships, grants and programming that educate, cure, support and otherwise enhance lives of the citizens that support Santikos Entertainment.
“We want the public to understand that we all have a stake in creating a vibrant and prosperous community. You can see a movie anywhere, but every time you see a movie at Santikos you become a vital part of our charitable legacy because the money you spend on tickets, drinks or snacks goes back to organizations that improve our society, says David M. Holmes, Santikos Enterprises president and CEO. All movies have a beginning and an end, but when you see a movie at Santikos, the end of the movie is just the beginning.
In conjunction with this launch, Santikos has redefined its mission to “provide unparalleled entertainment that creates a lasting benefit in our communities.” Ad campaigns will launch this month to start the public education of the company’s new mission and purpose.
The company’s new tagline, Be a Part of the Legacy, will be a consistent reminder of the company’s vision and also serves as an invitation to the community to be a part of the mission through its patronage of the Santikos Entertainment venues.
The new logo mark is a deliberate move away from the traditional film reel imagery of the company’s past, instead using search lights to evoke excitement in the context of a more diverse entertainment complex. The new Santikos venues are true entertainment destinations, with varied amenities such as bowling lanes, full bars and dining services. For several existing locations, Santikos Entertainment soon will announce major renovations to incorporate many of these new amenities and the latest in technology. By changing “theatres” to “entertainment” in the naming, Santikos Entertainment reinforces the future direction of the business as much more than a movie theater.
