Welcome to the 2nd floor, the physical realm of Mito Digital!

As a vendor of international companies of many types, we are all about adapting to the ever-changing environment, trends, and most of all, the needs of users – be it our clients, their customers or our own employees. Coronavirus came, saw and even though not conquered, surely brought some serious impact along with how we work. Or rather, how we would like to work. We had to prepare for a new, hybrid way that suits everyone’s needs: a combination of remote and office working.

Splitting rooms in half = doubling the opportunities

As it was clear things won’t return to the old normal, we had to make this new normal as comfortable as possible. First of all, instead of spacious open office spaces, we needed smaller ones for both our dedicated teams and our meetings, be it in-person or via Zoom (or Google Meet. Or Teams or Webex or BlueJeans – you name it). If you are awaiting a crucial call, you can now easily rush into one of our many meeting rooms, with less of a chance of rushing into another ongoing presentation. That is, if you don’t mix up the names of the meeting rooms when booking. Spoiler: we’ve got some real tricky ones.

The total refurbishment of the three levels of Mito Group’s four business units took a few months and even more plasterboards. In between all the wall demolitions and electrical wirings, the unit of Mito Creative took the art of working from home to the next level by working from practically anywhere but the office or well, home – turns out stadiums and rage rooms will do just as well.

A lively and comfortable space you are eager to go in

Designing and developing human-centered interfaces and solutions for more than a decade, digital is second, if not first nature to us at Mito Digital. Many of us work remotely – taking ownership of our own work means we trust one another with that too. However, although we easily go fully digital, we do our job even better if we actually meet at times. Not to mention that we also like to hang out together, talking about stuff you usually don’t talk about through your webcam and mic, connecting on a not so digital level.

That’s why we needed a lively common area – and ended up with a cafe-like lounge with our very own beer keg and very cozy sofa, which you’ll only want to get up off for another beer. For those stuck at the keg part, it’s no mistake: each week we have a different type on tap, all yours to grab freely. It’s a good thing though that at the last minute we replaced the LPG gas bottles with carbon dioxide cylinders in our online shopping cart, so now we even have those bubbles. And don’t worry, we have caffeine, too. No, not in the beer, although it’s a matter of taste.

Besides not-so-professional meetups (the best parties are always in the kitchen, aren’t they?), this multifunctional area is also perfect for professional ones: either it’s developers, UX/UI experts, PMs and office dogs gathering together for a status meeting, or a key client from overseas visiting us for a workshop.

Tailor-made for us, by us

Our clients around the globe are from numerous industries such as aviation, lottery or telco. Besides having in-depth domain knowledge in these fields, our dedicated teams at Mito Digital also have dedicated rooms for themselves, decorated by themselves. As it turns out, we’re quite dedicated when it comes to that, too. 

We wanted to make these spaces our very own by adding a personal touch, or rather touches: be it XL sized paper(like) planes flying above the aviation team, rethought movie posters behind the desk of our UI crew, or carefully framed t-shirts with custom Mito designs, which we proudly create and wear year after year. You can even find specific pictures of our major aviation clients (from the leading ultra-low-cost carrier of CEE to the new Icelandic startup airline), as interpreted by one of our talented designers. Not to mention the artwork which are the results of our renowned in-house tradition, Hackathon: a long-running event where people team up to create some cool (and sometimes weird, but good weird) stuff in only 24 hours.

During the so-called Office Hack Day, as now part of the ever-growing Mito heritage, we made our spaces even more personalized, thematically pimping our meeting rooms. If you are wondering, the main themes have to do with some of the finest action heroes from the ‘90s, Super Mario and other video games we all played or wanted to play with, and saluting amazing female graphic designers, because, well, girl power.

We have arrived

Our mutual goal was to make the office of Mito Digital a professional yet comfortable and familiar space that almost feels like home. One that you like to go in (even if you don’t have to), and proud to be working at (even if remotely). We definitely took our share of the whole reconstruction, and are happy to announce that we caused a power blackout only once, only on one floor, and only for ten minutes – although that’s a long time if you have some unsaved work in progress. Also, we now feel reassured that our IT experts have a tool for everything, being able to fix not only digital bugs in the system. 

Mito Digital is a business unit of Mito, a unique powerhouse of creative & digital experts with a passion for clever things. We have been working with our clients around the globe for more than ten years, in numerous industries from aviation through lottery and retail to telecommunications. Our goal is to design and deliver human-centered and best-in-class digital solutions that meet and exceed the business goals of our clients as well as the demands of their clients.
