We are located in the creative heart of Istanbul, one of the world's most dynamic and exciting cities. It's a great place to be and a great place to work, but it's also a challenging city, so you need to be prepared to adapt and learn a new culture and way of doing things. For students or recent graduates looking for an exciting interational and multicultural experience that also lets you hone your skills, it's a perfect fit, but we are looking for people who've come to work and have a passion for design, brands and marketing.
