An integrated creative group, built in Africa.
ALKENES is a multi-division creative and media group founded by Kenneth Matlholwa. Eight businesses, one creative vision — events, audiovisual production, film, festivals and music, working as one.
ALKENES was born from a simple belief: brilliant live experiences, films and records all run on the same fuel — craft, technology and people who care.
We started in events, then built outward — audiovisual production, festivals, a film and TV arm, an event app, podcasts, a recording studio and a record label. Today the group operates as one team that can scope, build and ship a moment end to end.
From boardroom launches to mainstage festivals, from feature documentaries to chart-topping releases — ALKENES is where ambitious ideas get made.
