I'm Pinar, a social media strategist working remotely for brands from all across the globe 🌎
📍 Currently based in Amsterdam, NL 🇳🇱
I was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1991 and hold dual citizenship (American/Turkish). I received my BA in Communications from Galatasaray University and also had the opportunity to study for a semester in Paris at Sorbonne Nouvelle University. This experience not only allowed me to improve my French but also gave me a unique perspective on diverse cultures.
My first job was as a social media manager at the Institute of Creative Minds, and then I worked as a social media specialist at Wunderman Thompson. I eventually made the switch to the client side, working as a Digital Marketing Executive at Fox Networks Group.
In 2019, I took a leap of faith and founded Engagemint Social, where I worked with several companies as an in-house digital marketing professional. One of my most notable clients includes Smart 360, a digital marketing agency based in Istanbul, where I eventually worked as Head of Digital and Strategy and then was promoted to Managing Partner.
During my time there I ...
✨ Increased customer ROAS by 9165% through social media paid ads and lead generation
✨ Increased customer social media follower growth by 797% in a year
✨ Contributed to the year-over-year increase in agency revenue and growth through new customer acquisitions and digital projects
✨ Supervised, trained, and managed team members to maintain the quality of service delivered by the agency
I am fluent in Turkish, English, and French, and my diverse background has allowed me to work with clients from different industries and cultures. I am a strategic thinker and have a strong track record of delivering successful campaigns.
My Skills
As a millennial with severe imposter syndrome, I can't help but cringe when I talk about myself and my capabilities. But this is my about me page, so here we go.
I have a passion for all things digital, and I've been fortunate enough to have a career that's allowed me to grow and develop my skills in this field. Working with creative experts from various disciplines taught me a lot and allowed me to expand my skill set, especially in content production and design.
I acknowledge that there's still much room for improvement. Still, I am thankful that I'm able to independently bring my ideas to life without relying on a designer, making the experience of working with me more efficient and seamless for my clients.
