About Us Print
When founding public instinct we had one goal in mind, to shape the landscape of digital media in South Africa and to create unique and innovative IT and new media solutions. We, as a team of communications and IT professionals, came together to develop stylish yet functional solutions that are state-of-the-art and sustainable at the same time. Solutions, that ease your daily tasks or make a considerable contribution to the success of your business. We have faith in the spirit of Ubuntu.

Thus we are aware that a substantial part of our personal and professional success is only made possible by our environment and the people we work with. We believe by helping our clients achieve their objectives we not only contribute to their but also to our success. As a service provider of choice, we therefore strive to establish trustworthy and long-lasting partnerships and to be a reliable and loyal partner to our clients.

Our Team

We are a dedicated team of seasoned professionals with more than 8 years of experience in our line of work. Although we acknowledge the importance of experience we do not see this as our most important quality. What we are proud of is our capability to keep up with the very latest technologies and our skill to adapt to a constantly evolving working environment.

Our management team consists of:

Jörg Wunderlich

As a trained and qualified IT specialist, Jörg is responsible for the development and implementation of IT concepts. He works closely together with our clients to identify appropriate technologies and to design the best possible solution.

He has developed his skills at the Technical University of Ilmenau in Germany. His studies in Europe gave him access to newest technologies as well as scientific results and enabled Jörg to gain extensive experience in IT Consulting and training.

Jörg had the chance to proof his skills by working for various national as well as international organisations. Furthermore he was active as a self-employed contractor in the USA in 2001.

Testimonials

Having worked with Public Instinct on several projects they have become our preferred partner on all IT and Web Design related projects. I find them to be professional, accommodating and proactive. Public Instincts attitude and responsiveness to our needs is outstanding - with them it's like having our own in-house IT Department. We see them as partners in our business rather than service providers.
