We’ve developed many impactful digital products, and we deeply appreciate being recognized alongside such a strong line-up of agencies and innovators. This recognition is a nod to our team’s hard work and creativity, as well as the strong partnerships we build with our clients.

And, to be honest, we’re just proud to be in such great company — sharing the finalist stage with names like Dublin Airport, LadBible Ireland, Hunter Media Group, Irish Life, Zenith – Media Central, Heineken, and many more. Check out the 2025 winners list.

Driving digital transformation for Corrib Oil

Two of our three nominations came thanks to our collaboration with Corrib Oil, one of Ireland’s most trusted energy providers. With nearly 60 locations nationwide, many featuring a deli or bakery, Corrib Oil has built a strong reputation for being close to its customers — and now they’re extending that connection into the digital space.

Our mission was to support their digital transformation by developing a web and mobile app for both iOS and Android, focused on simplicity, performance, and user experience. Beauty in design was a key priority, ensuring the app is both visually appealing and intuitive. Whether users want to place an order, manage their loyalty rewards, or check fuel availability, they can do so with ease.

The platform is also integrated with top-tier third-party services, making transactions seamless and secure while providing powerful analytics and a personalized experience for each user.

Representing the pack at the Digital Media Awards in Dublin

The awards ceremony took place on October 10 in Dublin, and of course, we had two of our wolves on the ground. Gabriel Ola and Valentin Trif attended the event, representing the entire Wolfpack with pride (and maybe a few butterflies, too).

“It was a big night for digital in Ireland — and an even bigger honour to be part of it. It was really great to see our partners from Corrib Oil and have an in-person chat. Seeing so many brilliant teams get the recognition they deserve gave us fresh energy — and we’re already looking ahead, aiming higher for next year!” — Gabriel Olariu on the Irish Digital Media Awards

“It was great catching up with some of our existing partners and meeting new ones who are shaping the digital landscape in Ireland. Seeing so many local and regional brands being recognised for their work this year was truly inspiring — it gave us that extra motivation to go the extra mile and aim for the win next year.” — Valentin Trif on the Irish Digital Media Awards

App development: building the future of customer engagement

Web and mobile apps have become essential tools for companies looking to create meaningful connections with their users and stay ahead of the competition. At Wolfpack Digital, we know a great app is more than just a product; it’s a powerful platform that can change how businesses interact with their customers.

Our team brings years of experience to every project, combining creativity, technical expertise, and a passion for design to deliver mobile apps that are both beautiful and functional. From the initial evaluation of your business needs to the final stages of development and maintenance, we work closely with our clients to ensure every detail aligns with their vision.

As proud winners of multiple awards, such as the Webby Award for Responsible AI (New York, 2024) and the European Technology Award for App Development (Paris, 2021), our projects have been recognized for their innovation, impact, seamless integration, and user experience.

Innovation is at the core of what we do. Our team is always exploring new ideas and technologies to keep our apps at the forefront of the industry, and we offer ongoing support and maintenance so our clients’ apps remain up to date, secure, and ready to impress users day after day.

Grateful to be finalists, focused on the road ahead

We may not have taken home a trophy this time, but being shortlisted in three major categories only sharpens our focus and strengthens our drive to achieve more. It’s a strong recognition of the work we’ve done so far, and a reminder that we’re heading in the right direction. Huge congratulations to all the winners — your work inspires us to keep raising the bar. We’ll keep showing up, pushing boundaries, and delivering powerful web and mobile apps start to finish.
