About CTRL
CTRL is made up of action-loving creatives who enjoy working with a diverse group of interesting clients and making projects come to life in interesting and exciting ways. Imagine creating a livestream to give away a pop star’s custom car one week, to managing a series of hybrid seminars for an international medical products manufacturer the next!
Using technical know-how to make the impossible happen is one of the things we love the most. Doing this requires intense organisation as well as wide-open minds. Mix in years of experience in all aspects of creative and corporate media, and you get CTRL!
Our values
- Creative energy: every member of CTRL loves to look at opportunities in different and unique ways, adding value & delivering results that thrill our clients
- Technical wizardry: modern media relies on a range of high-tech gadgetry, but it takes a true wizard to make all that equipment sing in harmony
- Meticulous organisation: great projects require great organisational skills, and we’ve got that in spades
Doing great work with a great team for great clients
