Frequently Asked Questions
No, the person we are looking for must be based in Madrid and available to come to our offices or the client's offices in line with the remote working model on offer.
Immediate start.
We understand that it is impossible to match a role 100%, and we appreciate your honesty. All we ask is that you be realistic. It is normal not to meet the odd requirement, but we expect you to be aware of your own limitations and, if you apply, to have relevant and complementary experience or training.
We are a technology consultancy with a strong culture and a workload typical of our sector. We don't like working overtime, but the working days are intense. Whatever your role, you will have responsibility and clear objectives, and both internal managers and clients will be demanding about deadlines, deliverables and reporting.
We have grown from 3 people in 2021 to 15 in 2025. Our goal for 2030 is to reach 50 people with revenue of €5M/year.

About Us
Who are we?
We are a technology consultancy incorporated in Spain in 2021. We were founded in the United Kingdom (London) under the brand Digital Branding Ltd in 2015. Because of our size, we fall into the category known as boutique consultancies.
Our value proposition is based on a comprehensive digitalization offering that covers everything from development through to go-live and subsequent maintenance.
We develop digital solutions that bring our clients' ideas and ambitions to life, so that as many people as possible can enjoy their services. We cover critical areas of digitalization such as Design (UI&UX), Marketing and Communication, Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Architecture, Cybersecurity and Compliance.
We work for clients such as El Corte Inglés, Iberdrola, Barter Energy and the Global Sports Innovation Center Powered by Microsoft. You can see more in our case studies.
We are also patrons of the initiative Nuestras Causas and producers of the show Profesionales Excepcionales hosted by our chairman Javier Pascual.
You can learn more about us and what we do in the press releases section of our website.
What are our values?
Positive Impact
Kindness, Honesty, Loyalty and Respect
We act in line with our values and our Code of Ethics, treat all parties respectfully and pleasantly, are socially and environmentally aware, and are firmly determined to add value by building relationships that we look after over the long term.
Adding Value
Drive for Excellence and Results Orientation
We offer high-quality solutions and work so that every euro our clients invest turns into value for their firm. We take responsibility for the full project life cycle, operating on the principles of efficiency and effectiveness, beginning with the end in mind and seeking synergies and win-win strategies.
Adaptability
Flexibility, Empathy and Transparency
Our sector and our clients' needs are constantly changing. We are aware of these needs, and considerate and understanding toward them. We are willing to help, and we do so by being flexible about changes to initial requirements, deadlines and costs.
How do we work?
Our working philosophy is agile and project-oriented. Odoo is our CORE system (ERP, CRM, HCM, PPM, CMS and DMS), which we complement with the Microsoft ecosystem for email, office software and communication.
In terms of governance, we plan on a weekly basis and hold dailies and weeklies so that progress is coordinated and we can help each other with any blockers that arise. We send follow-up minutes to clients so they can keep track of the project's progress, and we keep unit cost control for each project. To do so, we log our hours against the different projects we work on.
To make asynchronous work easier with such diverse teams, you will share your experience as explicit knowledge by creating and/or updating documentation and procedures. That way, the rest of the team can consult it, update it and benefit from it.
You will be in continuous training, so if you come across something you lack the qualifications or experience for, you will have the opportunity to train in it.
The standard dress code is business casual, which for men means wearing a shirt, long pants and closed shoes, and for women a formal, understated equivalent, avoiding sportswear or overly casual clothing.
Our code of ethics governs how we behave both within the company and in our dealings with clients, suppliers and the communities where you are present on the company's behalf.
Where do we work?
Our profession demands a close relationship with our clients, so most of our consultants visit them or work some days at the client's own offices. In addition, we try to get together at least three times a week at our offices.

Our offices are located at Av. Ciudad de Barcelona 132, 1st Floor. Retiro, 28007 Madrid.
