Hey! I’m Nikola Zec, a 25-year-old AMA (American Marketing Association) certified video editor and audio engineer with over 7 years of professional experience in creating engaging educational videos, eCommerce / SaaS ads, animated explainer videos and TVC. My work has been awarded several times, so in 2020, I received the award for the best young creative director in the world by the prestigious organization TOP TALENTS UNDER 25. I was also featured on 20 UNDER 20 List by Lider Media and completed two degrees, video production and audio engineer studies at the Academy of Music Production and Multimedia in Zagreb.
I have worked for several multinational FORTUNE 500 companies like Microsoft, Wix, SalesForce, HP, Raiffeisen Bank, CES 2021, and editing YouTube videos for huge channels such as Ownage Pranks (5M subs), Alexie Marano (300K subs) and Alpha Leaders (130K). I am also an AMA (American Marketing Association) and FTF (Fulltime Filmmaker) member.
I was involved in the work of several TV series:
2019 08 24 TV Series: Najini mostovi ( PRO PLUS production )
2017 07 20 TV Series: Zgodovina ljubezni - blok 1 / scena 36 ( Orange production )

Specializations:
• eCommerce & SaaS Social Media Ads: Elevate your brand’s online presence with high-converting, visually striking ads tailored for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Through my video campaigns, clients would see 2,7x improvement in CPC/CPM and a 3.15x boost in conversion rate in average (of course, that can vary depending on the product and its price).
• Educational Videos and Animations: From tutorials and online courses to presentational content, I combine clarity with engagement to provide videos that give an optimal learning experience.
I use 2 GBps (ultra-fast) internet for faster download/upload, Adobe Premiere Pro, Da Vinci Resolve for color grading, After Effects for animations, graphics, and text, and Avid for audio production. For editing, I am using Dell XPS 17 (Intel® i9-13900H, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090, 64 GB Dual Channel DDR5, 2TB-M.2-PCIe-NVMe-SSD, 4K UHD+-Display (3.840 x 2.400))
