I’m Daria — a PR and marketing professional and writer with seven years of experience across brand communications, publishing, and culture. Based in Belgrade, Serbia, I work with international clients on communications strategy, brand messaging, and content — from authors navigating book launches to organizations building their digital presence. My background spans both sides of the story: I know how to build a narrative and how to get it placed.
Alongside my communications work, I write. My bylines and mentions include British Vogue, and Metro UK, covering culture, identity, and entertainment. I pitch stories to national and international editors and work as an expert source for journalists across lifestyle and culture beats. My work lives at the intersection of strategic communications and cultural storytelling — and increasingly in the spaces where PR meets media, publishing, and the entertainment industry.

Book Publicity & Author Marketing
A couple of years in publishing taught me how books find their readers. Launch strategy, media positioning, and building the kind of author platform that sustains a career beyond a single title.
