Jordan Cvetanović is a playwright, columnist, and copywriter whose work bridges contemporary literature, theater, and the creative industries. Born in 1982 in Nikšić, he graduated in Dramaturgy from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade in 2008.
He is the author of several notable dramatic works that have been performed on domestic and international stages, including *Pretis lonac (Takeaway Drama)*, *Terapija* (Atelje 212, Teatar Rungatino Zagreb, Broadway New York), *Otac i sin* (Teatar ITD Zagreb), *Simptomi* (Pozorište Subotica), and *Kad je Niče plakao* (Ustanova kulture Vuk). His plays are recognized for their contemporary expression, powerful dialogues, and the ability to bring complex psychological and social themes closer to a wide audience.
His collection of short stories *Priče za tešku noć* (Prosveta, 2003) has seen multiple editions and has been translated into several languages, while his stories have been included in numerous domestic and international anthologies. The Berlin literary magazine *First Page* named him one of the five avant-garde writers for 2020.
Alongside his literary and theatrical work, for two decades he has been actively working in marketing and digital communications as an idea maker. He has participated in the creation of numerous award-winning campaigns for leading regional and international brands, combining dramaturgical thinking with contemporary communication strategies.
He is the co-author of the exhibition *Vikend portreti* (with Aleksandrija Ajduković, Ulična galerija, 2017), as well as the art project *Telenor kalendar – Daj sve od sebe* (2012), realized on the occasion of the London Olympic Games, together with Manet Radmanović.
He actively writes columns and authored texts for domestic and foreign magazines and digital platforms, focusing on topics of culture, everyday life, and contemporary society.
He is the recipient of the Mihiz Award for Dramatic Creativity for 2013.
In his work, he consistently explores the boundaries between art and communication, believing that a strong idea — whether on stage or in the campaigns he creates daily — always begins with the truth about people.
