CV
Professional Summary
After 3 years of Creative Event Design and 4 years of work period with prominent communication experts of Turkey, I focused on the big picture and moved forward my career in online advertising, social media and digital communications. Obviously, no regrets came after my decision, when examining more than 400 awards I won in the last 8 years and the uncontainable victory of digital revolution itself. Where I wrote all of my ads and directed most of them. A new advertising journey began with Publicis as an Executive Creative Director with the responsibility of 4 major agencies. Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis Turkiye, Digitas...
I love collaborating with artists, creatives, scientists, virtuosos as well as young local talents. I never saw data and researches as soul sucking creativity killers, contrarily; interpretation of data brings effectiveness to creativity according to me. After I get the brief, my process begins immediately with social listening for insights and ad hoc researches to ensure the creative approach.
Amongst my past and present clients are BMW, Efes Pilsen, Red Bull, Ford, Turk Telekom, Bnp Paribas, Sanofi, Ford Trucks, MINI, Bridgestone, Turkish Airlines, TCL and many more leading brands.
