HIBO + Cosmico 🚀

Paola Manzoni, Hibo’s PMO, approached us just over a year ago on a mission to increase the production capacity of their internal teams through our Talent-as-a-Service approach. In addition to being the organization's project manager, Paola also acts as the quality manager as well as an account manager.   Our collaboration with Hibo started with some tech talent, a group of professionals composed of developers of different seniority and with various types of skills (expertise on different platforms and different programming languages such as PHP, Laravel, and Kotlin. Recently, Hibo has also asked us for some creative talent, designers, and social media strategists.   Our talent is staffed on projects for Hibo’s clients: our tech talent is working on e-commerce and web platforms of various kinds, including apps, while our creative talent is staffed on brand repositioning projects and the declination of all communication materials. Activities related to strategy and social media are always dedicated to those who operate in the consumer goods sector.   Hibo embraces new production models, foremost among them remote and smart working.
Hibo has professionals who have never known office work: from university, they moved directly to remote work. Yet everyone maintains the habit of going to the office two or three times a week, and this is not by imposition. Indeed, at Hibo we choose to go because we feel the need: the office has become a benefit just like the possibility of working from wherever you want. In this context, the talent we use from the Cosmico community integrates perfectly into our workflow and corporate culture. This is also why staffing through Cosmico works so optimally.

- Paola Manzoni, PMO Director di Hibo

Gimme5

A new generation of savers has been born. And with it, a new digital piggy bank has also emerged. It's called Gimme5, a project by the asset management company AcomeA. It's an app that allows each of us to access the investment world and put money aside smartly, even from just €1. It's super simple: you set your goal (a car, a trip, or another dream) and activate the rules you prefer to follow in order to reach it faster, step by step. You can choose from various automatic settings, such as "Special Dates" to save a sum every time an important date occurs, "Sports" to deposit an amount every time your favorite soccer or basketball team wins, "Daily Steps" to set a target of steps and save money when you reach it, or even simply set aside a fixed amount each day, week, or month. Whatever you save, whether it’s small or large amounts, is invested to help it grow over time. With over 570,000 users reached, 150 million euros saved, 6 million euros of generated value, and over 35,000 goals achieved, Gimme5 allows people to live their life while saving and investing to achieve their goals without stress.

AWorld

Even the most skeptical people will want to change their way of living when they enter AWorld. It won't be from the effect of a magic formula but from the effectiveness of the digital experience provided by this app supported by the United Nations for the fight against climate change. How? By helping and encouraging people to take sustainable actions and learn about sustainability-related topics. The app isn’t only aimed at company employees but individual users as well. To educate their employees on sustainability topics, companies - such as food franchises, banks, and major Italian organizations - choose AWorld not only because the app is a convenient tool but also because it’s the only platform supported by the United Nations for the ACTNOW Campaign: all the content is approved by the UN, which supports the entire project. That's what sets it apart from its competitors. The app has over 900,000 downloads worldwide, and the company has two offices in Milan and Turin, located within the United Nations offices.
