About
Solrik is an independent communications and creative agency.
We are based in Utrecht and work remotely with clients across Europe, the USA and South America.
Working closely with founders, executives and global partners, we translate vision into structure and ideas into polished, effective work.
Our work spans brand positioning, campaign strategy, copywriting, social media, content creation, email marketing, website management, packaging design, events and creative production.
We typically partner with companies as a senior, embedded creative lead, bridging strategy and execution, managing teams, solving problems, and ensuring the work gets done.
Bright thinking. Sharp work.

For clients of
Derek Ahlberg Digital
Derek Ahlberg Digital is now part of Solrik.
Derek still does the retouching, animation and composite build, exactly as before. Solrik is the name it now runs under, so it is the name you will see on an invoice and in your inbox.
How we work
We run it from inside your team.
We typically partner with companies as a senior, embedded creative lead, bridging strategy and execution, managing teams, solving problems, and making sure the work actually gets done.
-
01
Get the direction right
We start by getting a clear read on your market, your audience and what makes you different. That work comes before any design begins.
-
02
Build the system
Messaging, identity, templates, site, calendar. The things that make every piece of work after this one faster and more consistent.
-
03
Run it, week after week
Campaigns shipped, sites maintained, assets produced. We stay close enough to keep quality high and momentum steady.
