Toygar Bazarkaya
Founder & CCO
Toygar loves building brands, but he's also experienced the flaws of the industry up close. In his quest to solve for them, a new agency was born. He's led creative for brands like Visa, Gillette, McDonald’s, Mercedes-Benz, Dos Equis and The American Red Cross. He's also led agencies like BBDO, DDB, HAVAS and Optimist. He made Adweek’s Creative 100 and the Digital 40 over 40 list and has 30+ Cannes Lions to his name. All it took was German discipline, Turkish passion and decades of American experience.
