Ardian Kurtolli the Creative Digital Professional:

I was lucky to have a computer and access to games and applications of all kinds during pre-war Kosovo. That made my connection with computers natural since I was a young kid. By age 10, I knew Pascal and had Dos and Windows 95 Certifications. As a 13-year-old, I was also the publisher of the 1st e-zine in Albanian called "Dardania Nentoka Digjitale" which had a lifespan of only four issues since the political situation in Kosovo and the Kosovo War.

After the war in 1999, I joined Comtrade Computers as a technical assistant. Soon after, I was certified as a Microsoft Certified Professional and had two semesters at the Cisco CCNA Academy. Later, I advanced as a Product Specialist and Sales/Presales Consultant for Mobility and Server Solutions for the Fujitsu-Siemens Brand. In 2008 I switched industries since I felt that my creativity was left behind with too much technical work.

I started working as a Creative Director in Entermedia, and there we did magic for 4 years in a row producing over 84 Award-Winning Music Videos. In 2012, ZeroPozitive Publicis became my new workplace. I worked there as a Digital Marketing Specialist until May 2014, when I joined a new agency with a new team, "R&M Communications ".

My experience in the Tech and Entertainment industry makes me starve for innovations second after second. While in the position of Marketing Manager at Air Prishtina, I stabilized the brand by creating clear brand guidelines and marketing strategies (social media, email mostly), resulting in a new web redesign and automation of several marketing processes.

In 2017 I joined Solaborate LLC as a Creative Director, and together, we voyage the journey of our excellent HELLO products!

In June 2018, I joined the USAID Mission Kosovo as a Development Outreach and Communications (DOC) Assistant.

Since 2022, I have been living and working in Munich, Germany.
