Lloyds digital 2023 Wrap up: Conquering Skies, Stages, and Beyond!

by Valentina Martinčić

Buckle up, party people! ‘Tis the season of festivities, and we’re rolling out the red carpet to showcase Lloyds’ stellar 2023 journey. No time for small talk – we’re diving straight into the extraordinary moments that defined our year. Grab a glass of your finest wine; you’re in for a wild ride through the heart-pounding highlights of Lloyds in 2023. Without a doubt, this year marked a monumental leap forward for us.

Lloyds World Tour Chronicles

Move over travel influencers, because Lloyds went on a world tour that would make anyone jealous – Krakow, Berlin, Lisbon, Antwerp, Ljubljana, Rovinj, Split, and the oh-so-cool Zagreb. Our Project Manager Nikolina even took center stage as the IT queen in a panel discussion. No biggie, just Lloyds dropping knowledge bombs everywhere we go.

But wait, there’s more! We owned the spotlight at Debug in Zagreb, surfed the Web Summer Camp in Opatija, and had a mic drop moment at Let’s Grow by ICT Istra in Pula. Our itinerary even included a standout appearance at the ‘HUMANS VS MACHINES conference by eCommerce Croatia’, where we explored the dynamic intersection of technology and commerce. Our CEO Domagoj? He didn’t merely talk the talk; he owned the stage at the Adria Summit in Umag.

Solo missions? Cute. United front? That’s our scene.

“I believe in you, you have to believe in each other.” This mantra from our CEO isn’t just a line; it’s our guiding star that pushes us to do things we thought were impossible, make our clients happy, and turn Lloyds into a spot where success and joy come together. Spring brought a new wave of learning, with several educational workshops that not only enhanced our skills but also strengthened our team spirit.

We’re not just a group of people working together; we’re Lloyds – a place where dreams get a cool digital makeover. Imagine a spot where working together isn’t just an idea; it’s the beat that keeps us moving. That’s us, that’s Lloyds – where every win and happy moment is shared, cheered, and part of our shared success story. 

Laughs, Sips, and Hidden Talents: Team-Building, Times Two!

Two amazing team-building throwdowns strengthened our bonds. From talent showcases to off-the-wall question games, with a sip or two (or perhaps a friendly five), we cracked up, uncovered hidden talents, and hosted parties that carved their spot in the legendary tales of Lloyds. Here, enjoy some pictures of us.

Štorije Under the Stars: More Than a Meetup

Imagine Štorije, our annual meetup, under the stars in Rabac, with sea vibes, cocktails, and an AI showdown. It’s not just a meetup; it’s a cosmic experience only Lloyds can pull off. Our stellar panelists, esteemed AI experts in Croatia, dived deep into “AI’s Impact on Our Jobs: Future Unveiled” setting the stage for the grand revelation of our Digital Labin conference. Trust me, the climax is worth the wait.

Awards & Street Cred

Hold steady, the thrill is about to hit. In 2023. Clutch.co declared us a Top 10 industry leader in eCommerce in Croatia, and not in one, but in EIGHT categories! It’s not just a win; it’s like scoring touchdowns in multiple games. This recognition isn’t a solo act – it’s part of our ongoing saga of triumphs. Speaking of triumphs, our enchanting webshop expertise for Gligora Cheese & Deli didn’t just secure a Web Excellence Award, it marked the beginning of our digital conquest. But pause for a moment, because the thrill doesn’t end there. Picture this – finalists at the prestigious European eCommerce Awards. You bet we’re not just rewriting the rules; we’re staking our claim on the digital frontier with absolute confidence. 

CEO Spotlight & Fresh Talents

Our CEO Domagoj took the spotlight, rocking podcasts and interviews like the true boss he is. And guess what? We brought in five new rockstars – Tin, Marino, Toni, Matea, and Diana. Welcome to Lloyds, where we slay, play, and make the impossible possible. Embrace the chaos, darlings, we’re not just making waves, we’re creating a tsunami.

While you’re here, check out Domagoj’s appearance on the Nominis Podcast. He takes a deep dive into the eCommerce world, sharing insights and wisdom only a maestro like him can provide. Trust me, it’s a listen you won’t want to miss!

Digital Labin: Uniting All Digital Perspectives

Oh yes, we’ve done it once again. Digital Labin 2023 wasn’t your ordinary tech conference but an absolute magic show. It was the crowning glory of our year. Our team poured their hearts and souls into creating an experience that not only attracted the biggest names in the industry, but also seamlessly integrated three tracks dedicated to Dev, Design, and Project Management, bringing together all digital perspectives. In the picturesque town of Labin, we gathered over 800 cool IT cats.

We’re not just hosting events; we’re creating digital chaos. But, our efforts went beyond just catching attention; they truly made a massive impact, earning us the incredible Eventex Award in the Best Tech Event category. It’s so much more than just a win, it’s a shining reflection of our dedication and the incredible journey we’ve embarked on together. Each step we’ve taken, each challenge we’ve overcome, has led us to this, and it’s a feeling that’s truly hard to put into words. Digital Labin 2024 is incoming, grab your ticket while you’re at it.

And that’s a wrap for 2023!

As we bid adieu to this chapter, may your days be merry, your nights be cozy, and your heart be full. Wishing you the merriest of holidays and a New Year that unfolds like your favorite story. Here’s to sharing joy and making memories that last a lifetime.

Cheers to you, to us, and to the thrilling tales yet to be written.
