What have you achieved in terms of business, and what are your business plans for the future?  

“The synergy of Piksel’s management and the teams of professionals who we have the honor to call our colleagues grows daily. It is evident through our work and the prism of the many renowned companies that become our clients.

After almost ten years of operation, Piksel now boasts three independent business units: software and web development, design, and marketing that operate independently but also as a whole, in that as a company, we can offer our clients the opportunity to get all business services in one place. As a company that strives to be a solution partner for our customers, it is of great importance to us to cooperate with companies that share the same values as us and want to reach the so-called digital maturity because, in the pandemic years, almost everyone has started the process of digital transformation, so it’s time for companies to reach the highest level of digital development with our help.

With almost 45 specialists, team leaders, and experts, Piksel is already a company that can serve even the most serious requests of customers from various industries, so we hope that the growth with good customers, services, and attraction, as well as building quality personnel, will continue in the future.”

The exclusive “40 under 40” award represents one of the most popular and prestigious recognitions worldwide for business leaders, and it is often the first incentive for many successful world celebrities. 

Our industry is still afraid to experiment! 

On the occasion of the competition for the eighth KAKTUS by 1664 Blanc award, we asked the members of the jury – what they pay the most attention to when evaluating the works. Here is what Vladimir Ristevski, the Creative Director of Piksel LTD, had to say. We hope he’ll inspire you to experiment.

The theme of this year’s festival is “Self-reflection.” If you were to look in the mirror at yourself as a professional, the company you work for, and the entire marketing communications market – what do you see? 

I see a local market that is still afraid to experiment. I see companies that say they want some bolder ideas, but end up going for safe execution. I see a young creative force that will bring big ideas in the future. I see myself and my colleagues at my company Piksel as the people who will help companies blossom into their digital maturity in the near future. 

What is your advice for all those who want to submit works for the KAKTUS 2022 awards? How is it best to prepare the application? What will you pay the most attention to when evaluating the works? 

As with everything, good storytelling is the key to a successful case study. Video is king, content is queen, and data is everything. Mix it all together, add social impact, experiment a little, and you might have a winner. 

Applications for the KAKTUS 2022 awards are open until September 20, and you can find all information about the competition and the Rules on the website https://kaktus.rs/ 

We celebrated the ninth Piksel birthday!

Instead of writing 99 emotional pages of text for this very important event to us, we decided to give you the facts about the ninth Piksel birthday as they were revealed by the media. Just so you know, we’re not pulling a Terry Jeffords talking in the third person about ourselves. 🙂

Now, let’s get serious and read what Faktor.mk wrote about us.

On Thursday, April 1st, the company for marketing services and development of web and software solutions Piksel celebrated its 9th anniversary.

Since its formation in 2013 as a startup, Piksel has innovatively positioned itself on the market as a hybrid company that offers all kinds of digital services. Today, Piksel has an impressive portfolio – more than 50 active clients worldwide and about 40 employees. The company management says that this is a result of the careful and professional approach to the offer and realization of the service.

“Looking back over the years, I am happy with where we have come and what we have achieved in the past nine years. I want to thank everyone who contributed to the construction of Piksel in the past period. I am proud that we are recognized as an innovative company that follows modern work trends in digital transformation. We are the first in the Macedonian market to strive to fully apply an agile way of working in digital marketing, that is, to offer clients dedicated, highly professional teams that will work on their behalf and for their needs. This approach was unimaginable in digital marketing until 2-3 years ago.” – says Dimitar Jovevski, Partner and Business Development Director at Piksel, and a professor at the Faculty of Economics in Skopje.

The company has recorded rapid progress in the last few years, primarily due to the huge demand for digital services, as well as the fact that Piksel has had a recognizable reputation and experience in the field of digital transformation for many years. However, the progress is largely due to the clear direction of the management towards building partnership relations with clients to help them grow and develop through additional business and consulting services.

In the past period, more and more domestic and international companies have chosen Piksel as a partner in the process of growth and development of their business, enabling the company to become one of the most sought-after employers in the field of its operations in the country, attracting the best professionals to its team.

“This birthday and the celebration itself marks a new chapter in our functioning towards helping small businesses that are not sufficiently exposed to the public, and that have something to show and offer.” Only in this way, in such a circle where the bigger helps the smaller, we can achieve economic progress, which is extremely important for the further development of society. There is, of course, the desire to continuously build and nurture team spirit and connection through promoting values and socially responsible activities that will encourage them to continue to follow this path,” said Filip Ristevski, Partner and General Director of Piksel.

Therefore, the birthday theme was focused on the meaning of the person who is part of the team and is part of the company’s culture of cooperation, team spirit, and dedication to the client. Precisely for this reason, the company management decided to organize an open-air celebration at the Wine Museum in Kavadarci and to support the idea of the Kimov Winery to create a unique experience of wine tasting and education for employees.
