A look behind the scenes. Why did pixelart open an office in Vienna in the summer of 2024? It’s a question we hear again and again – from partners, clients, and applicants alike. Is it about prestige? A strategic move to support our growth? Or just a sales office? The answer is simple, yet profound: We were homesick for the faraway.

20 Years in Salzburg – So Why Vienna Now?

Salzburg has always been – and still is – our home. A city that inspires us, where many of our most exciting projects have come to life, and where our heart beats. Centrally located, stunningly beautiful, and a magnet for talent – Salzburg offers it all. And yet, we felt the pull toward Vienna.

Why? Vienna is not just the federal capital – it’s a vibrant center of creativity, innovation, and digital progress. With a population ten times the size of Salzburg’s, the city offers enormous opportunities – for new projects, inspiring partnerships, and talented people. At pixelart, we firmly believe that while home office and remote work are now an established part of our work culture, nothing can truly replace the creative energy of being together in person. Especially five years after the pandemic, we see that great ideas often spark from spontaneous conversations and close collaboration within the team. That’s the energy we wanted to experience in Vienna as well.

pixelart stands for Meaningful Digital Impact – and you can feel it in every fiber of what we do. Those who live and love digital are a perfect match for pixelart. With our new Vienna location, fresh energy is flowing into our work – not just through the physical expansion, but also thanks to new team members. Exchange with the Salzburg head office remains essential, because despite the physical distance, we stay closely connected as one team.

We’re excited to see where this journey will take us. But one thing is already certain: Vienna feels absolutely right for pixelart. We’re embracing the city’s energy, diversity, and the new opportunities it brings – and we’re looking forward to realizing many more exciting projects together with both existing and new partners.

Longstanding Clients and New Opportunities

We’re already working with renowned clients in Vienna – Siemens, Porr AG, and the digital team at Wüstenrot all call this city home. Most recently, we launched a complex, data-driven digital platform for OeAD – the Austrian Agency for Education and Internationalisation.

So far, the Vienna market has welcomed us warmly – and we hope it continues to do so. Maybe we bring a breath of fresh air as a Salzburg-based digital agency? While Salzburg is shaped by large digital players with deep platform expertise, Vienna stands out for its many specialized boutique studios. We see this diversity as the perfect complement – and with our unique setup and specialization, we feel right at home here.

Vienna-Office

Studio Vibes with Room to Grow

Our Vienna office currently hosts a core team of ten – and we’re growing. We’ve intentionally based a dedicated Performance Marketing unit here, as both the market and the talent pool in Vienna are especially strong in this field. The team is supported by project managers who work closely with our Salzburg units – ensuring that the pixelart DNA remains strong in Vienna too.

Our office reflects the way we work: modern equipment, an open atmosphere, and a flexible workspace design that fosters creativity. Compared to our Salzburg HQ, the Vienna office features a mix of flexible and assigned workstations. Both spaces are located in charming historic buildings – while our Salzburg home once housed the Universalversand, the Vienna office is set in a former textile factory.
