From a single idea to a global presence

Where we came from

capitalcreative emerged out of the industry requirement for multidisciplinary, collaborative and engaging professional services for large scale projects on the African continent.

With the previous experience of the core team having both partnership and director positions in large scale firms, IAD in Spain and Louis Karol in South Africa, we were well placed to provide the depth of service required whilst pivoting productively to a more engaging and dynamic agency offering.

We Approach Every Project with Purpose and Precision

How we work

The team works remotely from Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa and Madrid, Spain, in a virtualized version of the traditional studio environment. Communication is key and collaborative platforms promote both flexibility of process and effective collaboration with broader team members and consultant partners.
