As part of the PRP 437 – Artificial Intelligence in Public Relations course, we had the pleasure of hosting Hakan Şık, co-founder of Tooken Technology, for a session themed "Artificial Intelligence: Will Robots Take Over Marketing and Communication?"
We sincerely thank him for his valuable contributions.
We hosted Renan Bilek as a guest in the course of Asst. Prof. Dr. Özgenur Reyhan Güler at Yeditepe University. He shared the art of storytelling in both cinema and theater through his own life in such a sincere way that we all felt like we were inside a story ourselves. Learning from his experiences and hearing how he creates stories across different platforms was truly inspiring. He said that storytelling is the strongest bond that connects people to life, and he gave us an unforgettable day. Thank you, Renan Bilek.
