THE
COMMUNICATION AGENCY
FOR SOCIAL CAUSES


Who we are

XKK is the first creative team to use the power of communication to advance social causes and to reach youth in Hungary.

Since its founding in 2012, XKK has contributed to the solution of numerous social causes with its own campaign and by supporting representatives of civil society, and we have worked with several dozens of satisfied corporate clients.

Our experience in running campaigns with a reach of several hundred thousand people allows us to help our clients reach their goals far more effectively than other agencies.

Szilvia Varró

managing director, founder of XKK
I was a journalist for 18 years and received the Hungarian Pulitzer Memorial Prize in the category of investigative journalism in 2010. I was good at political and social journalism; covering minority issues and the operation of the extreme right was my passion. I saw there was no breakthrough in democratic and progressive causes. I dreamed of an organization that could both amplify civil society voices and strengthen corporate social responsibility. This is why I founded XKK.

Tímea Balogh

financial officer
After earning a degree in communication, I turned to economics and international relations. For seven years, I worked at a local government institution, coordinating scholarships, gifted programs, summer camps and international exchange programs for thousands of Roma students. Then, with a sudden turn, I moved to the NGO sector and took on the financial management of a foundation. Today I am the financial officer of XKK, where I also coordinate professional work.

creative director

Sára Vencel

communication consultant/fundraiser
I have raised funds for homeless families in the streets of San Francisco, worked for a public policy analyst company as a sociologist, and worked on social innovation and CSR. I know how online dailies, magazines and radios work thanks to my experience in journalism, and I gave communication assistance to NGOs in California and to Hungarian start-ups. I do communication consulting, creative design, and fundraising for XKK.

Andrea Kóbor

creative expert
The more I study (after journalism studies, I joined a Masters program in international management at Corvinus University), the more certain I am that there is no perfect solution for social problems. But this does not mean it is pointless to take action to solve them. This is why I participated in a number of civil society movements, where I gained experience in press communication and giving press statements. And this is why I have been working as a creative campaign designer and organizer, social media expert, and trainer at XKK since 2012. My greatest pride are my creative projects: Lájksuli and Hello90.

Campaigns

Their Skin Was Their Only Sin

Virtual Commemoration of the Victims of the Roma Murders

Our short films commemorating the victims of the Roma murders that took place in 2008-2009 were seen by several million people in Hungary and abroad. Almost 100 companies – including IBM, Libri, and Telenor – and several media outlets joined our virtual commemoration campaign (a call for participation was linked from the XKK blog). Our campaign was awarded Campaign of the Year at Prizma Kreatív and special prizes at the Savaria Film Festival and the Central-European Roma Documentary and Report Film Festival in 2013. The films were screened at numerous Hungarian and international film festivals.

Hello90 – The World of the 90’s generation

In our unique social media experiment, we involved 17-23 year old nonprofessionals with diverse backgrounds to get key public affairs news to the apolitical generation born in the 1990’s. Our blog covering both light and serious topics was followed by 10-15 thousand young people every day, and our ironic get-out-the-vote campaign video Don’t Vote under 25! had over 150 thousand viewers.
