Senior Copywriter
About
Mertcan is a translator by training and a copywriter by trade. He graduated in Applied English and Translation from Beykent University, where his thesis was the first Turkish translation of Raymond Z. Gallun’s “Space Oasis” and an academic paper on astronomy.
That background matters more than it sounds. He writes English and Turkish that read as though each was the original, and he has the numbers to show it works: 700% growth on one client’s organic traffic, 400% on another.
