What Huncwot does

Huncwot is a Warsaw, Poland-based digital agency founded in 2007 that designs and develops custom interactive digital experiences for institutional clients. Operating with a team of 11-50 employees, the firm has completed over 480 projects since inception and has accumulated more than 50 industry awards, including a Cannes Golden Lion and multiple Webby Awards. The client base is concentrated in academic, cultural, and non-profit organizations, with flagship engagements for Columbia University, Harvard University, the Obama Foundation, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, and the European Film Academy, alongside technology clients such as Maze.

Huncwot's service offering spans strategy, branding, design, animation, development, and AI-enabled interactive features. Notable technical work includes AI-driven analysis of large media collections — exemplified by the Obama Presidency Oral History project for Columbia University, where AI models were applied to 470 interviews to generate interactive browsing tools — and collaboration with AI-native software vendors such as Maze. The firm does not publish a packaged product or SaaS platform; instead, revenue is generated through project-based, custom engagements priced on a quote basis.

The firm distributes services via direct enterprise sales, leveraging its award-winning portfolio and client referrals rather than paid marketing. Geographic delivery spans North America (primarily the United States) and Europe (Germany and Poland), with case studies referencing engagements for organizations in Cambridge, New York City, and Berlin. No parent company, external investors, or subsidiary structure is disclosed, and ownership details are not publicly available.
