About me

Greetings,

I had my BS from one of the best universities in Turkey, Koç University. I completed a master's degree at one of the best schools on the respective discipline, Kadir Has University.

I have 4 years of combined experience in two big companies BKM and BLAB. I worked as event organizer, creative writer, digital media manager, strategist, in-voice manager, concept founder, analyst, content planner, and independent project manager. I wrote, produced, directed, performed, and edited a short movie as the final Project of my Master's degree. I studied/worked on different, new, exciting, and challenging environments.

I worked as an event organiser at BKM's comedy club. While I worked at BKM, I have started

projects independently. I found the first open microphone for standup in Turkey. An open

microphone is where amateur comedians share the stage, thus share the fear of stage. Then this format became a nation wide phenomena that exact replicas of it applied by others, all around Turkey. In two years, my open microphone became the most widely-known which raised a new generation of successful comedians. I found the first open microphone for female comedians. In 6 months, a team formed and they were doing shows all around Turkey. I found the first roast comedy night which was performed on a big theatre of BKM with more than 300 participants. As I boldly implied, doing things for the first time will not be a first for me.

I learned to innovate, communicate, persuade, pursuit, plan, meet deadlines, solve problems, and manage stress. I'm currently working as a copywriter at BLAB advertisement agency. I never held back from taking responsibilities. I worked at different layers and had immense experience. Besides a copywriter I experienced the responsibilities of digital media manager, strategist, customer relations, and consumer behaviour analysts. I got the chance to work with several big companies in Turkey; yemeksepeti, Turkcell, Vestel, Yeni Rakı, Tat, and Tamek. I learned office programs, how to find an idea, how to represent big companies, collaboration with peers, and how to sell an idea.

In my interdisciplinary career, I acquired a lot of flexibility skills that prepared me for highly dynamic environments. If my work experience may seem irrelevant to you, I'm ready to fill the gap with my enthusiasm.

Thank you for taking your time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours,

Murat.
