This year we are celebrating, among other things, the 27th anniversary of AI.
Why AI? If you're our follower, you know that we are pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence in Slovakia. Yes, we have also developed our own AI! And what else are we celebrating? 27 years of bold innovations that we have achieved at the one-stop shop agency ui42. So join us and read about what we have accomplished over the past year. Yes, there will be a celebratory cake too!
The value of "people" is always no.1 at ui42
We are a strong crew of almost 70 enthusiasts who prove that shared values create great results.
Our team buildings? Legendary. Our joint breakfasts? Indispensable.
We support and celebrate the growth of every individual, which brings us exciting changes in leadership positions. Let us introduce Rado Kuchar, who has worked his way up from junior programmer to Head of Development – this is a story of determination and continuous development. And fresh perspectives are brought by our new CMO Daniela Marušková, a woman with extraordinary talent, who has made her way from sales, through UX design to key client management in four years with us.
We got a slice of the Digital Pie
Silver on the first try! Our debut among the digital giants with the Najšport project helped us to secure second place in the Performance/Growing Business category right away. This award has motivated us, so this year we are going full throttle with as many as 4 clever works for Be Lenka, Vaša Lekáreň, Kompava and again Najšport. Keep your fingers crossed for us, who knows, maybe we will take home a piece of the winning pie again!
We educate ourselves, we inspire the world!
At the conference carousel full of trends and innovations, we were in the front rows! As a one-stop shop agency for growing your e-commerce (and not just e-commerce), we couldn't miss WebExpo, Reshoper, Ecommerce Bridge and Upterdam.
The year-end Marketing RULEZZ 2023 with the subtitle Back to the Roots was strengthened by a stable marketing team, even with our Roman Helt in a panel discussion. As pioneers in CX (customer experience) and UX (user experience) in Slovakia, we are a stable and founding member of SUXA – Slovak User Experience Association, and therefore you could find us as the main partner at the November event World Usability Day 2023.
At Laracon 2024 in Amsterdam, we made an amazing catch! Our developers Šimon, Jaro, and Alexander met Taylor Otwell himself, a legend of the Laravel universe. They not only gained an unforgettable moment but also proof that at ui42 we ride the waves of the latest technologies at a global level.
But yes, we are not just passive recipients! At Ecommerce Bridge CX experts Barbora and Peter shared our know-how, why people most often abandon shopping carts in e-shops. Experienced Milan Kurečko at the online conference Business Connect clarified, among other things, how to connect CMS with an ERP system. And that's not all - we actively share our experience and knowledge with future generations, whether at MatFyz, FF UK, or through the Digital University. Sharing is caring, and we take it seriously!
We develop and continue to bring our own successful formats
The pandemic period is fortunately behind us, but we have not given up on the successful format of the online conference Website Story. In its fifth edition, it was literally soaked with tips on how to ride the wave of digitalization, automation and, of course, artificial intelligence.
This year we came up with a novelty called “ui42 breakfasts - get inspired by others”. Together with Dušan Vereš and our inspirational speakers, we opened a discussion for our clients and partners about what CX means and how to devote attention to customer experience. Do you want to be part of this innovative journey? Contact us, we still have plenty of vibrating topics ready!
We collaborate and look forward to new clients
Long-term cooperation with KPMG on the project E-shop Barometer, the results of which we brought at the end of 2023, is always an interesting insight into the e-commerce market in Slovakia for us. It involved as many as 107 respondents, giving you the opportunity to peek behind the scenes of the Slovak e-commerce scene through precise data and analyses. This year, also with the participation of Shoptet, with whom we are hand in hand starting another new cooperation. Despite being partially competitors in the market, together we embark on a journey full of innovations and new opportunities. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn and soon you too can benefit from this collaboration.
Finally, 27 years online and still at the top, is clear proof that what we do, we do professionally, fairly, and humanely with passion. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't work. That's why Google recently ranked us among the TOP 3% of companies in the Google Premier Partners program in Slovakia.
27 years full of bold innovations
What to add at the end of this birthday summary? Just that we are grateful for the contribution to our clients, whom our work helps to grow. Not only in terms of new countries and markets, great year-over-year numbers that we declare in case studies, but also in the human dimension. That too is still important in online or e-commerce, in our opinion. Therefore, ui42 proudly supports projects like Romade, Daffodil Day, or Vagus and since February 2022 we have even been donating our lecture fees from MatFyz, Digital University, and SUXA to a good cause – belief in a better world and help for war-torn Ukraine.
Would you like to join us and become part of another successful year of the one-stop agency ui42 as our partner or new colleague? Get in touch with us and maybe next year we can blow out the candles on our birthday cake together.
