Electrik are a team of passionate individuals who strive at conceptualising, evolving and delivering original, high quality work, within our clients’ budget. We love to see how our disciplines help them achieve their goals and consequently make a positive, lasting effect in their business.
We help our clients GROW, EVOLVE and CHANGE. Electrik was formed in May 2012, by Candice Crookes and Andrew Difford. Since then, the team has grown to 5 permanent staff with numerous contractors such as photographers, stylists, animators and programmers. We understand that everybody has their unique strengths and we put that knowledge to use by assembling the most efficient team possible for your project. Electrik is based in the sunny city of Durban and is privileged to have worked with some of the most incredible people in and out of South Africa. We are independently owned and creatively motivated. Because our work is fused with our main passions, we can’t help but really enjoy what they do. Electrik breathe culture and like to add unique flair to tried-and-tested philosophies. The team stays up-to-date on the latest artistic and technological trends, which means your product or service is about to put its best foot forward.
