I am Çiğdem Dedeoğlu, the founding president and creative director of Designpr Advertising Agency. I have been in this industry for 13 years. I started my professional life as a brand consultant and graphic designer at Sarar Group of Companies. At the end of 6.5 years, I decided to start my own business. Designpr Advertising Agency is about to finish its 8th year. We provide consultancy services to our brands with graphic and digital designs in our agency. We made ourselves talk about ourselves in about 50 provinces across Turkey, and we took our services there. We had the opportunity to work with both private brands and public institutions.
I had a dream since I was little, we always grew up with foreign cartoon characters and their values. From now on, I wanted our children to grow up with our own cultural values. We are very lucky as a country, we can experience all seasons due to our geographical location, we have many traditions and customs. Together with my team, we drew characters that express all these values, sewed their costumes, organized them, and developed coloring and story books. We gave the messages we wanted through digital media with animations and cartoons. In short, Turkey has met with wonderful values that can be remembered with a smile.
In addition to promoting our cultural values, our brand ambassadors also have a duty to instill environmental awareness from 7 to 70. In this way, thousands of people have been educated and become environmentally friendly individuals. In fact, our heroes showed this process in trainings as an example and through digital media. Thanks to my dreams and goals, I both realize my commercial activities and contribute to my country socially. So I am very happy and proud. We are in a brand new excitement right now. We want to open another office in Istanbul in 2021 and ensure our branding on a more national and international scale. We aim to achieve greater success by working with big brands and realizing our creative ideas. This is exactly why we need guidance from #SheMakes. In this way, we will enter a process where our horizons will be opened, and most importantly, we will be more confident in ourselves.
As a company, we have operated in a city in Anatolia until now. Despite this, we have worked with dozens of provinces in Turkey. We couldn't fit into this city. Finally, one of our works received a success award in a program in which international projects competed, and this made us even more excited. It is an exhilarating and encouraging feeling to see our talents and perseverance pay off. We have reached our goals that we have set so far, now it's time for bigger goals. In these days when we create the motto of 2021, we ask ourselves “Why not become an international brand?”
We hope that you will be a companion to our excitement and path in this process.
