Today, our team is trusted to design apps and websites for some of the biggest brands in the world. In fact, you likely interact with our work on a weekly basis. But it wasn't always this way...
In 2008, when Steve Jobs opened the App Store to third-party developers, we saw a mobile tech boom on the horizon and founded ORA Interactive, one of the pioneering digital agencies dedicated to helping companies launch mobile apps. While the earliest years of the App Store were experimental at best, we persevered and were perfectly positioned to ride the impending wave.
In 2011, Uber's rise prompted global leaders to rethink digital strategies for their own businesses, propelling ORA into the C-suite of major corporations seeking help with launching their own disruptive products. Our business exploded from that point, ultimately leading to our acquisition by global software provider Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX) in 2018.
Despite our success, agency vendors like us were often still limited to specific project types until the pandemic forever blurred the lines between in-house and external teams. This transformation led to the birth of ARRO Labs, where we're poised to revolutionize product development with our hybrid delivery approach. Part building and part teaching, we work alongside your team rather than for it.
From enterprise websites to mobile apps, our full-stack team has been behind press-worthy product launches that have shaped the digital landscape for over a decade.
We look forward to continuing that journey with you.
At our core, we share one unifying belief: experience matters. It's the experience we craft for your customers, the experience our team members bring to fulfilling promises, and, above all, the experience you have working with us. Experience is our compass.
That's why we've meticulously curated a diverse group of talented individuals who are not just skilled but deeply passionate about their craft. We don't see doing the work as enough; we thrive on reigniting our client's passion for the work as well.
Meet the creative minds behind the scenes - the individuals dedicated to prioritizing your success. Get to know the faces behind the magic and discover how we're committed to making your journey with us a memorable experience.
