Aron Lukacs

Builder, Connector, Storyteller

Sales & marketing across LogiNet and 22.design. But I got here through festivals, media production, and failed startups—not the usual route.

Turns out, briefing war correspondents and selling enterprise AI aren't that different. Both need clarity under pressure.

Hey, I'm Aron 👋 — I connect dots between culture, technology, and business that most people don't see. These days, I channel that perspective into LogiNet, where we build AI solutions that actually work, not just impress in pitch decks. And 22.design, where we create websites & no-code apps built to convert, not just to showcase 🎯 But I didn't start here. The journey went through festivals, war zones, failed startups, cultural centers under attack, and a psychedelic guitar band touring Russia. 👇 Keep scrolling—it gets interesting

My professional focus 🎯

The best solutions are simple - getting there is the hard part. Whether I'm positioning an offer, implementing AI, building prototypes, or shaping teams - it's about cutting through complexity to find what actually works. No hype, no theater. Just clarity, speed, and keeping it human.

Strategic Sales & Marketing

Turning complex B2B offers into clear value. Building funnels that convert, positioning that sticks, and go-to-market strategies that align teams from day one.

Bánkitó grown from a small subcultural festival to an internationally known brand under my coordination.
Osteroo built and launched webshops in 4 countries while I was developing it.

Client Feedback

Extremely competent, diligent and hard working. Aron went the extra mile to find solutions and deliver on our digital dynamic ads project for Sky Deutschland. His attention to detail and proactive approach made all the difference. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

Festival Director

Aron extraordinarily kept all processes in hand—PR, marketing, sales, and international relations for Bánkitó Festival. A true renaissance person who plays on multiple instruments. His ability to juggle complex operations while maintaining creativity is rare.

E-commerce Transformation

Aron helped us put together an incredible webshop and pushed our business from fully analogue to heavily digitalised. His progressive and critical views challenged us in the best way possible. He didn't just build a website—he transformed how we think about our business.

Ventures 🚀

I've always loved building - taking ideas from zero to something real. Tech, creativity, strategy, storytelling—I play them all, metaphorically speaking. Multiple instruments, one vision. Because great ventures aren't separate from culture or community. They're infrastructure. Innovation and successful businesses are just as essential to healthy societies as arts and open dialogue. Two sides of the same mission: building what matters.

Égboltkép (Osteroo)

CEO & Founder · Print-on-demand startup

Built a data-based print-on-demand platform for customizable personal gifts. Raised funding, led the team, ran the business. Then it failed. Those lessons - about building, selling, and knowing when to quit-shaped everything that came after.

The second try...

Co-founder & marketing manager for Budapest-based crazy surrrealist clothing brand. Fashion shows, BiTS Radio parties, webshop ops, lots of Wordpress development - kind of a professional playground.

Flashbird Creative Workshop

The first try...

We've experimented with videoblogs, music videos for local Hungarian bands - even started an underground cultural magazine, called Distgrict Zero. Kind of a post-high school motion picture experiment with friends. Learning how to work. Some of them became cinema professionals—I took a different path.

As much as it was an early professional friendship project, this video still takes a special place in my heart.

Media & Production 🎥

Field production is chaos - every decision matters, or you lose the story. I love that pressure. Briefing journalists on political context, "accidentally" trafficking crews across borders for the perfect shot, making split-second calls in the field. But the most important lesson I learned from Hind Hassan at Vice: it always has to speak about - and for - the people who are affected. The story isn't ours. It's theirs. We're just the conduit.

Cultural Work 🎭

Culture isn't decoration - it's the infrastructure of healthy societies. Arts, music, open discussions about politics and social issues-these aren't luxuries. They're how we create spaces where people think critically, argue constructively, and stay open-minded. I've spent years building those spaces, believing they matter more than almost anything else for the next generation.

Xaver Varnus

Tour Manager & Personal Assistant · 2012-2014

Xaver Varnus is one of the world's most celebrated organists and a cultural provocateur. He's performed in the greatest concert halls across five continents-from Notre-Dame to Carnegie Hall-bringing classical organ music to audiences who thought they'd never care about it. Known for his theatrical flair, virtuosity, and ability to make centuries-old music feel urgent and alive. Working with someone operating at that level of excellence and courage changed everything for me.


Xaver didn't just hire me-he mentored me. As his tour manager and assistant, I organized sold-out concerts, handled logistics, bookings, social media. But more than that, he showed me the professional world of arts and performing artists from the inside. How discipline, passion, and relentless excellence look in practice.


He railed me onto a journey I'm still on-connecting culture with people, building experiences that matter.

Somló Abbey Winery 🍷

SomlĂł-hill has always been home - just took a pandemic to bring us back. Childhood summers at grandma's, volcanic soil, ancient vines. We always dreamt of leaving the city but never had the courage - until COVID gave us the push. Now we're here as much as possible, working with the family winery, reconnecting with what matters. This is where I escape the daily rush, step back, and see things clearly. Sometimes you need distance to find perspective.

Family Winery in SomlĂł

My brother's winery in one of Hungary's most unique volcanic wine regions. Ancient vineyards, natural winemaking, stories in every bottle. It's where tradition meets innovation, and where I reconnect with what matters.

On Repeat 🎧

Piano is where I go when I need to think - not escape, but focus. Modern classical piano has this perfect balance: structured enough to keep you grounded, spacious enough to let your mind work. Hania Rani, Nils Frahm, Max Richter—they get it. Silence matters as much as sound. This is my constant companion for deep work and hard decisions.
