This is not your normal company overview, but frankly we are not a normal company.
This is more about why we do what we do, than it is about what.

Our approach to challenging the norm, dubbed EQUILIBRIUM is designed to interrogate and investigate the optimum solution to message delivery irrespective of medium.
Our 15 year track record combined with our global activation footprint ensure we remain current with global trends and tactics.

Call us, or drop us a note and we will get in touch! You never know, there just may be some awesome hiding in the wings, waiting to be discovered!
2. We are a creative activation agency that excels in
interpreting needs of our clients’ into real world
activations that work!
§
We do this using our real life understanding of how
customers, consumers, corporates and sports fans
react and interact with their specific environments.
3. Who is Maverick?
We know exactly who we are,
we’ve spent the last 15 years
figuring it out!
Its what we mean to you, that
matters to us.
We are the activation Ninja’s, the
go-to guys (and gals), the ones to
call when the ones-to-call are not
answering.
BE AMAZING
The World Needs More Amazing!
Mostly we have built a reputation
on solid ideas delivered flawlessly
that meet strategic objectives.
4. Why us ?
We are passionate supporters, of
passionate supporters, it’s the
lifeblood of every brand.
BUT
Simply put, we believe the
majority of activations, events
and promotions…don’t deliver.
Too many great ideas, are flawed
in the final delivery.
We love the challenge of
balancing great ideas, with
greater execution.
5. How we do it!
We use the strength of our cumulative real world expertise, from delivering
projects around the world (yes, us, really) and the invaluable working
relationships with our clients’ to solve the biggest question of them all.
Irrespective of the project, be it exhibition or event, promotion or activation,
sponsorship or sales conference…the single over-riding challenge we strive to
solve is WHY are we doing this?
6. We work in a world where
Normal is Never Good Enough
7. What we do? Events
Activations
We are not big fans of lists!
Launches
But for the overachievers out RoadShows
there, that need to tick that box –
our skill set is defined by the Promotions
ability to translate, and deliver
brands into the real world, for real Sponsorships
people, in real time.
Exhibitions
We do these things for global Conferences
brands and local businesses,
working in sports stadiums in Sri-
Lanka, Conference Halls in International
Cairns and Shopping Centre’s in
Sandton.

9. Our philosophy :
Equilibrium!
The best ideas are ones that can be
delivered flawlessly, with relevant creative
execution and strategic insight.
Its too easy to get this balancing act
wrong and allow individual elements to
overpower others in the execution mix.
Activations in equilibrium with these
principles, ultimately deliver! Every time.
12. Maverick handles all in-stadium activation for the ICC Global Tournaments, as well as all
major in-bound Cricket properties, such as IPL, World T20 and Champions League
13. International Pedigree
We are proud of our 100% home-
grown South African heritage.
Unlike most local agencies, that
claim international expertise
through affiliations, we are one of
the few local agencies that
actively works out of the country.
This exposes our teams directly
to best-of-breed international
practices, creative alternatives
and implementation strategies.
