Q4 of 2021 came to an end, and our agile ways urge us to run a retrospective — to zoom out, celebrate our accomplishments, and learn more about ourselves and the world while preparing the ground for the new quarter. Let's see how the pack did during the last three months of 2021. 🐺

🍁 Autumn Yard Sale 🍁

On the first day of the last quarter of 2021, we held our first Autumn Yard Sale among the colorful trees in our backyard. It was a great chance to declutter our homes, test our sales skills, and spend time together — and the best part was giving back, as we donated the profits to a good cause.

Halloween Day at Wolfpack Digital 👻

We love Halloween at Wolfpack Digital and put a lot of passion into it. We had our yearly Spooky Standup, where every wolf presented their Halloween costume, and we rewarded the spookiest of them all. 🎃

A Fabulous Gala and a Spectacular Award 🏆

We won the European Technology Awards for App Development, and we couldn't be more thrilled! We were proud to represent Cluj-Napoca and Romania at the gala held at the Ritz in Paris, recognized for our passion and results in delivering beautiful, high-quality apps.

Some other exciting mentions we had at the end of the year:

    • We won Best UX/UI at the CSS Design Awards with Kliner, one of our projects.

A Christmassy Office 🎄

Every chance to gather in our office is special, especially during challenging times. Because our den is like a second home, we spent a cozy afternoon putting up the Christmas tree and giving the office a proper festive vibe.

Annual Christmas Dinner 🎁

Our annual Christmas Dinner is a tradition at Wolfpack Digital, and this year the greatest gift was simply the chance to spend the evening together. We enjoyed a delicious dinner, engaging activities, plenty of photos, and gifts from Santa — we'd been really good this quarter! 😉

As we enter a new year and a new quarter, we can't wait to become better, get inspired, and be inspiring. 🤩 Until next quarter, follow the pack on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to see the pack in action! 💪

With love ❤️, the Wolfpack Digital team
