Finding a better destination, means taking a different direction.
At Urban Striker we understand that innovation means changing direction, not to be different, but to be better. We don’t speak to people as consumers; we speak to them as people. We have conversations with them, we find out what motivates them, and we learn how to influence them.
Passion. Engagement. Action.
As a specialist brand activation and events agency, we are able to bring brand experiences to life by keeping our ears to the heartbeats of communities, engaging them through real, relevant experiences.
We do this by leaving the creative up to the Creatives, and then in partnership with them, we take brands to the streets, to baseline. We take them right to where the people are and where they’re making their purchasing decisions.
Urban Striker has to date managed events and brand activation campaigns covering all 9 provinces. We have a trusted network of partner agencies that supply us with promoters in all regions. We have hand picked who we work with to keep in line with our philosophy that small specialist agencies can offer better personalised service with faster turn around time. These working relationships have been in place for more than 7 years.

ABSA Currie Cup
We had the pleasure of working with Urban Striker on a national promotion for the ABSA Currie Cup. The promotion included activations at all of the ABSA Currie Cup stadiums around the country, for both Premier and First Division teams. Urban Striker handled all matters pertaining to each event for us which included the likes of budgets, supervision, staffing, logistics, uniforms and data uploads. The campaign was a success thanks to their efforts and "never say no" type of attitude.
We will be working with Urban Striker again and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other clients.
