Advertising, creativity management and digital communications are not just words for
me. They are definitely not just a job. They are my passion. I believe that my calling is
effective creativity and idea management.

I'm trying to make every project really involving and interesting.

My specialties: creative management, copywriting, social media management, content

strategy, digital communications, creative direction.

My expertise and personal passion is solving digital challenges of different sorts:

to find a digital media solution that leverages client business success or makes
things happen on time and within budget when it seems impossible.

I have comprehensive understanding of digital strategy, digital marketing, publishing,

social media, online advertising, digital production as well as analytics & research. My
experience in project management and business development makes me feel as
comfortable developing business plans as managing resources, evaluating risks, or
defining timeline and budget.

My expertise includes also, but is not limited to:

- Business development
- Digital strategy and digital activity planning
- Digital analytics and research
- Digital project management
