Code On Meetup Vol. 39: How to stand out in a saturated market where everyone sounds and offers the same? 

In a time when the market is highly competitive and offers and messages sound almost identical, the question arises: how can you stand out and become recognizable? 

Find the answer at Code On Meetup, where the following topics will be covered: 

• From invisibility to recognition – how to build a personal brand that works for you 

• Stop waiting for opportunities—start creating them – personal branding as a strategy for faster growth 

We’ll be discussing all of this with Tanja Džido, MBA, a personal branding and LinkedIn marketing consultant with over 15 years of experience in the communications industry. She has worked on campaigns for leading domestic and international brands, and is recognized as the first LinkedIn trainer in Croatia as well as the country’s top personal branding advisor. 

Over eight years of entrepreneurship, she has worked with more than 350 individual clients and 80 companies, while over 2,500 people have attended her trainings. She is the recipient of numerous accolades, including Diversity Role Model of the Year (2023) and Female Role Model of the Year (2019) at the Central European StartUp Awards.  As a U.S. government scholarship recipient, she spent part of 2019 in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Today, she ranks among the top 1% most active LinkedIn users in her industry, with a network of over 25,000 connections. 

This meetup is primarily intended for the IT sector—companies, employees, freelancers, and startups—but it’s open to anyone interested in the topic. 

Admission is free! Join us on September 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Code Hub Mostar. You can register via this link.
