Dino Hukic a multilingual social media professional putting a large focus on international online marketing. From my experience, I have seen companies increase their sales internationally using proper marketing techniques on their social media accounts geared towards their target audience. I use my previous experiences in the online world and my cultural knowledge to help businesses grow internationally. The growth comes from creating awareness for businesses in international markets. I know that the online world has brought businesses closer to clients and each other, so online marketing is where we can decrease the length of that bridge and bring the two sides closer together. Social media marketing is a company's voice in the world and if that company has a good product that provides value to the customer, then I want to be on that social media team. Here is where I specialize: o Foreign Search Engines such as Seznam.cz for the Czech market and Yandex.ru for the Russian market o Middle-East Marketing and Media o Eastern European and Russian Marketing and Media o Hospitality Sector: Hotels and Restaurants o Property Development and Property Investment sector o Luxury Sector - products and other high-value goods seeking high-net-worth individual (HNWI) clients o Multilingual social media marketing and social media consulting o Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing My goal is not to cover the whole world, but I want to be the professional in European Marketing and Middle Eastern Marketing using the appropriate social media channels and creating great international relations between business and client. The two regions have a great potential for growth of European - Middle Eastern trade and international business.
