About

Soon after obtaining a college degree in Political Science and International Relations, I started working in the intersection of media relations, public relations, and communication sectors in 2010. I have been employed in various positions such as junior team member, account executive and account manager. Currently I am working as a director for about three years. My current and previous customers are all leaders in their sectors and working with them equipped me with diverse set of skills and invaluable experience. Some of my previous and current customers include renowned technology companies Facebook and sahibinden.com (most frequently visited ad and e-commerce platform in Turkey), international hotels Swissotel The Bosphorus, İstanbul and Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay, lifestyle/fashion brands ASICS, Marks & Spencer, GAP, chemical and health care companies BAYER and BASF, technology startups Tazedirekt.com, oBilet.com, Webnak, and medical esthetics brands Thermage and Vaser. I very much enjoy working in media and communications and my main career objective is to become a member of a global company, and work towards developing effective strategies to enhance its competitiveness, growth and reputation.
