We believe that everyone benefits from knowledge circulating freely. This is why we organize and participate in trainings which show career-starters why digital developments, advertising and media are exciting. This is why we are always keen to talk to other industry professionals about how we think, what we do, what we experiment with. And this is why we regularly organize internal forums of various kinds too – some with note-taking, others with chatting or drinking.
First, let’s take a look at trainings and events that we organize for people who would like to do the same things we do. Some are free and some are paid, some long and some short, some provide a certificate and some don’t, but they all have one thing in common: the experiences we share with students are about real projects and real clients.
“It’s not easy to get into the advertising industry – especially as a creative. Balázs and I have been holding this course for ten years, and now Dániel joins us as well – participants don’t get a certificate but they do get a great opportunity: every year, eight people can learn the basics of the job for free, from us and from our colleagues working at other agencies and on the client side. 55 people have completed the course so far and 27 of them are already working at top agencies.” – Gergő Marosi

WWe’ve been regular lecturers at the full-time advertising studies program of BGE for seven years. And in 2018, Mito was honored to be asked to take over Pista Sas’ course, Marketing Communication Planning. The full-year program provides useful theoretical and practical knowledge, introducing students to the main fields of marketing planning in detail, through topics like research, brand strategy and communication planning, creative development, production, media planning, content marketing and project management.
During the three-month course, participants get acquainted with UI processes, from coming up with an idea, through designing, to delivering the project. In addition to theoretical lectures, weekly four-hour workshops help students gain practical knowledge. Here they mainly learn about topics like grids, colors, typography, illustration, animation, prototype development. The animation and mobile design workshops of UI Academy are taught by Rajmi Domán.

The twelve-week course consists of two lectures and one workshop weekly. We introduce students to the profession of digital product designers (UX/UI). By the end of the course, students develop an interactive prototype, which they present to the public. In addition to providing diverse knowledge from many different sources, the course also serves as a great springboard to get into the industry.
During the eight-week course, we introduce beginner graphic designers to digital interface design. Following the lectures and consultations which are run by KREA, students have to design a complex user interface as their exam project.
Norbert Krizsán is a lecturer at MOME’s fresh, international Interaction Design MA. Students learn how to approach business problems and how to apply design methods to real-life design situations.
Every year, we participate in the Google Talent Camp internship program as a mentor agency, helping teams of enthusiastic career-starters with their online marketing project for two weeks. And at the end of our mentorship, we root for them to nail their first client campaign presentation.

Our account internship program aims to secure a flow of great new candidates – for our own sake and the sake of the industry.
There are no courses in school that teach you the ins and outs of this field, and the market of talented accounts is small – this is why we took it upon ourselves to nurture the new generation 🙂 So the university students who are the most interested in the field of communication and have a knack for planning are welcome to apply to see what it is like to work at an agency. During the 6 months, you will be working under the mentorship of our Senior and Lead account managers and gain all the practical experience you will need to start your career as a junior with us or at any other company.

Our internship program called GFX Bootcamp lets starter graphic designers get a glimpse into the way Mito and GFX operates. Under the mentorship of Art Directors, they have a chance to work on the biggest brands and pick up the tips and tricks of the trade, and they also receive some basic training in concept, production and social. The program is free, and interns are even paid a salary during the three months, after which they receive a Mito certificate that proves that they are ready for the challenges of the industry.
The goal of our social internship program is to find talented young people who are just finishing (or have finished) their studies, and breed the next generation that fits Mito’s standards. As the subject is social media, the application process has been adapted to the current trends: you can apply for the program with an Instagram Story CV and an essay about a recent social trend.
At Mito Next we’re infusing our client’s marketing efforts with exciting, new technologies, creating winning marketing strategies and programs with the help of design thinking methodologies.

They get the chance to learn how we get from brief to actually implemented solutions and also support regular activities like insight gathering and concept creation.
This 6-month paid internship is created for those with an active student status and is eager to dive deep into performance marketing.

The goal of our free 3-day course in 2022 was to provide young talents with insight into the world of brand and communication strategy, educate them on what exactly a strategic planner does in this industry, and collaborate on an exciting project. Not only was this a huge career boost for all participants, but the most promising talent was also offered an internship with the Mito Strategy team!

Our first free 1.5-month course was in 2022 where our production team introduced 8 people with no previous experience but who were interested in film and commercial production could get a glimpse into the different areas of this world from our guest speakers. At the end of the course, one participant was offered a 6 month paid internship in the Mito production team.
We often attend various conferences both abroad and in Hungary, – not because we love to stand in front of huge screens, but because we love to chat afterwards, to hear opinions and counter-opinions. Take a look at some of our recent presentations and let’s talk if you have something to say about them.

Working at Mito, there’s very little chance that someone you share an elevator ride with does the same exact job as you do. This means we can learn a lot from each other – we just had to find a suitable way of sharing knowledge. We’ve tried a lot of things; here are some that have been working out well.
Monthly or bimonthly event to which we invite outside guests who are not necessarily closely related to the industry, but are still connected to one of its peripheries in some way. These are casual, honest talks with guests like Dani Ács, Pamkutya or Róbert Kotroczó.
Monthly lunchtime knowledge booster where we delve into topics like ads, emerging tech solutions and ad tech novelties over our takeout boxes. Besides rotating topics, guest speakers and ad face-offs bring variety to these sessions.
During our hands-on workshops, our graphic designers have had a chance to try things like screen printing and laser engraving, but our recurring activities also include visiting printing houses or permanent and temporary art exhibitions.
One of our important in-house incubators is an always-on chatroom which our colleagues use to deliver interesting / exciting / WTF links about anything and everything in real time. There are no rules, just constant inspiration.
Essentially, it’s the GenZ counterpart of Mind Blowing Things, focusing exclusively on social media. There are no rules here either, but there’s an abundance of funky social content, trends, news and novelties. Or as they say on TikTok: “No cap. This shit is bussin’ respectfully. Sheesh”
A monthly updated content library covering 6 social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn) that helps us stay up-to-date about the latest social media and content trends and executional solutions.
