He worked at Birleşik Reklamcılar and Y&R in İstanbul, as well as at Neil Faber Media in NYC until 1996, when he joined The Coca-Cola Company Turkey Region. In his last position at this company, he was in charge of the communications, media and event initiatives for all company brands. He started his own consultancy company, diye Danışmanlık, in 2001. The company was rebranded yurddas + partners in its 10th anniversary.
