2021 was a big year for Auroch Digital!
To say 2021 was a busy year for us is quite the understatement! We've written a summary of the year of our work, and when you see it all written out - phew! That is also not including a couple of secret projects we can't yet say anything about!! Also, we just started a new season of our Podcast, starting with a look at what it is like to work at Auroch during a pandemic.
