Hello there, my name is Alex.
Welcome to my digital portfolio!
I’m a creative writer with a decade of experience in tech, marketing, and finance. Due to the nature of my professional background, I’m equally versed in technical writing.
Working with major digital entrepreneurs from all over the world has taught me how to properly engage my readers even when discussing the most complex topics.
I’m currently focused on my consulting agency and a novel that’s about to be published, but open to writing work I find exciting.
Short Bio & More About Me
My actual name is Aleksa Popović, and I was born in Bor, a small mining town in Eastern Serbia. My first ever client started calling me Alex as he had trouble pronouncing my real name. I liked it so I kept it.
As a young child, I took a huge interest in novels. At first, I read anything I could get my hands on, most of which I didn't understand, but as I got older I gravitated more towards my now favorite genres which are high fantasy and philosophy.
During high-school, I tried my hand at copywriting meeting clients online and found myself quite successful. A few years later, my client network came through and I landed my first full-time marketing job in a tech company. The rest is history.
I have tons of hobbies; Fantasy books, video games, country music, FPL, cliché 90s movies, cooking, weightlifting, cryptocurrencies, playing football, watching NBA basketball, and trying to write my own novel among other things.
My Skills & Expertise
Working with digital innovators since I was a teenager and learning from experts during my time with Sony and Microsoft, I have acquired a certain set of skills.
Creative writing, copywriting, technical writing, data analysis, SEO, fiscal audits, risk management.
Bilingual in English and Serbian as well as fluent in five other languages including Italian and French
Years of experience using software commonly required by digital marketing and advanced-tech clients
Deep understanding of reader psychology. I can make complex topics simple to understand.
Adaptability. Client needs frequently change and you'll find I can alter my schedule to fit yours in times of crisis.
I can write about pretty much any topic, having worked in and written about so many different industries.
