Description
Hi there! I am Creative Copywriter with a passion for spicing ideas up (it’s always about details).
Portfolio: oleksandrazhyvytsia.carrd.co
An eagerness to create led me through a Screenwriting bachelor’s degree program in Kyiv, Ukraine, where I had the time of my life writing, filming, and editing short films. A bunch of challenges yet lots of fun? Yep! But eventually, I realized that advertising is indeed the field that keeps me inspired and curious (and that’s exactly the reason to fall in love with it).
So I spent over a year working in an advertising agency as a creative copywriter and then switched to the clients’ side: in a product IT company, I was given full freedom in building the storytelling concepts and tones of voices of two brands from scratch, then developing them through the site copies and email campaigns. Another 10 months flew by, and I got promoted to a brand manager position. Maintaining and developing the brands allowed me to expand my creativity further, as well as, well, enhance my multitasking skills. Exciting opportunities. But the truth is…
I’m still stuck on my first love of advertizing.
So here am I, ready to dive deep into the creative copywriting again. On a full-time and international scale ;)
P.S. Aside from advertising, I get inspired by illustrations, solo art projects, and international volunteering. Do not hesitate to DM me if we are sharing the vibe.
P.P.S. Ukrainian, currently in Slovakia, ready to relocate.
