Istanbul, Türkiye
With a robust background in Marketing Management and a specialized education in Multi Media Production, I have been at the forefront of both the media and cosmetics industries. My career began with the founding of two innovative New Media Agencies, Motiko Media, in Germany and Türkiye (Turkey). As the Innovation & Marketing Manager for a leading media company in Istanbul, I oversaw the operations of 3 radio stations and 2 TV stations. In 2004, we launched a groundbreaking digital media portal in Turkey, which quickly ascended to the top 100 websites in the country. This portal included over 12 online radio stations and several online TV stations, significantly transforming the landscape of Turkish streaming media. We were on the brink of launching a Video On Demand platform at the end of 2008 when the media company was sold, presenting me with an exciting opportunity to pivot to the cosmetics sector. Transitioning to the cosmetics industry at the beginning of 2009, I have since collaborated with numerous international cosmetic companies. My work has involved the comprehensive development of over 1000 SKUs, guiding each product from initial concept sketches to market-ready items. My expertise and innovative approach positioned us as one of the early pioneers in Dermo Cosmetic development and manufacturing. This has allowed us to secure a dominant market presence and gain extensive knowledge about the markets across Europe and the GCC regions, thanks to Turkey's advantageous position close to Gulf and Middle Eastern countries. Our achievements in the cosmetics sector have been marked by a commitment to excellence and a keen understanding of market dynamics, ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed customer expectations.
