The battle started in the office

The celebrations began long before the stage lights turned on. Balloons, music, and birthday treats set the festive mood in the office - and that’s when the real battle kicked off.

Two of our colleagues, Evaldas (systems developer with a love for action and adrenaline) and Karolina (our creative mind in Administration), picked their sides - one rooting for GJan, the other for Jarutis. Why them? Because both are known in the office for their energy and charisma, making them the perfect champions to lead the clash.

The challenge: recruit as many supporters as possible. And not just casual supporters - colleagues had to commit with a temporary tattoo of their chosen artist’s name. Soon, the office was buzzing with laughter, cheering, and friendly persuasion, turning Balcia’s birthday into a true pre-party for the evening event.

The showdown was filmed for our social media, so anyone dropping by the office that day had to pick a side. No one could escape the hype.

And the winner is…

This time, it was GJan who claimed the victory - her fans filled the arena with energy, noise, and unstoppable applause. Evaldas’s side cheered with pride, while Karolina and the Jarutis supporters admitted that, even in defeat, the night was unforgettable.

One colleague from team GJan shared:

“It was such a powerful moment – the whole arena was roaring, and you could feel the energy running through everyone.”

Another added:

“For me, it wasn’t just about the music, it was about being there together with colleagues and sharing that rush.”

For us, the true win was the experience itself – celebrating Balcia’s birthday as one team, with colleagues, music, and the kind of adrenaline that only moments like this can bring. These shared experiences strengthen our culture, spark new inspiration for the projects ahead, and remind us that at Balcia, we know how to turn work and play into one unforgettable journey.
