Q2 of 2022 started with April Fool's Day, and we had a bit of fun with it. 😅 We organized a Pajamas Day at the office, and we all came wearing pajamas or home clothes (remember that old t-shirt you know you should throw away, but the emotional attachment is too strong?).
We couldn't have fun all by ourselves without sharing the joy, so we temporarily changed our brand name from Wolfpack Digital to Wolfpacka Digital. To ensure its credibility, our design team created a beautiful "new" logo. This made us seriously consider making the change permanent!
Celebrating Easter Together 🐰
Easter is always a happy time at Wolfpack Digital. This year, our traditional Easter Egg Hunt became an Easter Treasure Hunt (we kept the egg theme, don't worry). The wolves met at the office, split into groups, and went treasure hunting around the office and city center. The team that returned first with every challenge completed was crowned the winner! Fun fact: the winning team had named themselves "The Winning Team" before the hunt began. 😜
We'd definitely missed spending time face-to-face. With Covid-19 restrictions dropping and perfect weather outside, a new grill appeared in our backyard — all we needed to turn May into a Month-Long BBQ Party. 🍗
Now, let's get into what we do as a Pack: our mission to develop powerful web and mobile apps, start to end. We worked on some amazing projects this quarter:
- Scible is a web app that helps people find relevant academic articles, generate citations and reference lists, and follow experts to stay up to date with their research.
- No7 Pro Derm Scan is a skin-scanning iOS app that uses the latest IoT technology to offer tailored skincare product recommendations.
- Auto Insurance App is a cloud-based web application that digitizes the workflow between drivers, agents, and insurance companies with a fast, seamless UX.
Work from the Office — But Make It Irish 🌀
Remember that in Q1 we officially opened our Dublin branch? We couldn't pass up inaugurating the office properly. David, our Marketing Manager, and Gabriel, our Business Development Manager, took a one-week trip to Dublin, mixing business with pleasure — good tech conferences, meeting new people, and enjoying the city. The perfect mix and match.
A School Trip Like Never Before 🎒
An important part of being an adult is never forgetting your inner child. To relive our childhood days, we organized a "School Trip" for the whole Pack to Valea Ierii, a breathtaking village in the Apuseni Mountains. We went on a hike, played games, and finished the day with a campfire surrounded by guitar notes.
Community 🌟
With our batteries fully charged, we returned to the Den ready for exciting events. Q2 2022 was full of them:
- SustainCityHack — Gina, our CEO, was a mentor in the hackathon.
- CS-InoHUB — Gina and Cristi, our Head of UX/UI, mentored students.

Accolades ✍️
Our involvement in the community also means sharing our experiences and achieving milestones. The past quarter started with a special one:

At the end of June, we learned that Wolfpack Digital is a semifinalist in the Made in Romania program organized by the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). A big thank you for the nomination, and congrats to the other nominated Romanian companies. 👏
Every wolf in the Pack is unique and talented, as shown by the insightful articles we published during Q2:
A Sunny & Bright Future ☀️
The first half of 2022 was busy but fulfilling. We plan to make the rest of the year even more productive and fun, and we hope you'll do the same. In the meantime, stay up to date on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok!
Until the next wrap-up ❤️, the Wolfpack Digital team
