I'm Cem, thriving at the intersection of creativity and technology. My journey encompasses over 400 video productions and campaigns, each one an opportunity to refine my skill set and deepen my understanding of the complete production workflow. Always striving to add that incremental 1% of excellence. I've been able to craft narratives that resonate meaningfully with target audiences. Trust the process - yes, it can be exhausting, but the drive comes from a place of intrinsic value and the satisfaction of impactful storytelling. At my creative studio, CLOCKKNOCK GmbH, we've centered our efforts on digital storytelling through video, allowing us to scale teams and delve deeply into various operations, especially the intricate demands of post-production.

This comprehensive hands-on experience has enabled us to develop strategies and narratives that reverberate across diverse audiences, emphasizing that the power of storytelling transcends platforms. My brief foray into Germany's first NFT Launchpad taught me valuable lessons about communicating value in a saturated market, affirming my belief in the potential of blockchain technology for fostering a democratic, participatory creator economy. This experience, though minimal, informs our approach to offering brands and NGOs a gentle introduction to the possibilities within web3. Our adoption of AI into our workflows, through story optimization tools and audio transcription frameworks, has revolutionized our processes, positioning CLOCKKNOCK as a guide for business leaders in navigating their AI strategy.

Personally, I'm a child of migrants, leaving Turkey at four in the aftermath of the 1980s Military Junta had a profound effect on my life. Belonging, identity and migration itself have been topics I have written about. Even more, I am a proud recipient of some scholarships including Social Impact Lab from SAP, Mediengründerzentrum as an entrepreneur, or Neuköllner Oper as a writer. I am an active supporter of the Turkish diaspora. I spoke at EU cultural and media events related to Turkey in 2018 and have shared insights on content production, AI, Web3, digital empowerment, and ownership at various industry events, most recently at Blockchance in Hamburg. As the media landscape continues to evolve, with digital identity emerging as a significant challenge, I'm all in — constantly adapting, learning, and pushing boundaries.

My commitment goes beyond keeping pace; it's about setting the tempo for narratives that not only engage but resonate deeply in this dynamic digital era. If this resonates with you, let's explore how we can collaborate. Let's talk.
