Summary
During my undergraduate studies I attended a significant number of courses on media studies
as well as business administration. Since I have been always keenly interested in developing my
career in the media sector, I started to work at Altınoluk Media Co. in 2006. In a short period of
time I have become in charge of 300 franchisees by founding a network; risk management by
making monthly analysis; and marketing by developing advertisement policies. I have gained
significant experience in media management, marketing policy and risk management. In 2013, I
decided to study in the UK and have been studying in Media Management course, MA at
University of Westminster. I am going to complete my course in August 2014 and I would like to
acquire experiences from an international media company. During my studies I am interested in
social media marketing and my dissertation’s title is: “How Companies Make Money on Social
Media”. The topic taught many things about social media and social media marketing.
Therefore, I have experiences about mass media and social media. I would like to combine them
and be considered for the position.
