Ozan Sakin

Ozan Sakin was graduated from Galatasaray High School and Koc University Business Administration. He started his brand management career in L’Oréal in 2003 and shifted to digital advertising in McCann Erickson. A big believer in the brotherhood of online and offline, he moved on to the client side at Digiturk and Lig TV (Turkey’s largest Pay TV/Digital broadcaster) coordinating all digital communication. The advertising ban on all alcoholic drinks which became effective right after he started in Anadolu Efes (Turkey’s largest alcoholic beverages company) as digital marketing manager put him in a very peculiar position: He had to produce and spread an unreasonable amount of anonymous (or UGC?) content over the internets because of (or thanks to?) this ban. He is now designing new generation content and experience projects for brands.

Ozan Sakin has been working as Sofar Turkey director since December 2013 with Eda Demir, who had originally implemented the global concept in Turkey. He continues to organize independent music gigs in the living rooms of complete strangers, every month.
