Analytics and AI solutionsAdvertising in Turkey
What international brands should know before they spend.
Turkey is one of the largest digital advertising markets between Western Europe and the Middle East: more than 85 million people, a median age around 34 and internet use close to 90 percent. Instagram, YouTube and TikTok audiences are among the biggest in Europe, and shopping happens on marketplaces such as Trendyol and Hepsiburada as much as on brand websites.
Three things change the plan compared to a campaign in Germany or the UK: consumer communication has to be in Turkish, media is priced in Turkish lira and needs frequent budget recalibration, and personal data falls under KVKK, Turkey's data protection law, which sits alongside GDPR for European advertisers. We build all three into the setup from day one.
- Language: Turkish copy written by Turkish copywriters, not translated. Tone, humour and offer logic differ from European markets.
- Platforms: Google, YouTube, Meta and TikTok for reach; Trendyol and Hepsiburada for purchase intent; LinkedIn for B2B.
- Currency and budget: lira pricing, monthly budget review, invoicing in EUR, GBP or USD if you prefer.
- Compliance: KVKK consent flows, cookie banner, data processing agreement, ad policies for regulated sectors.

Frequently asked questions
Working with an advertising agency in Turkey.
What does an advertising agency in Turkey do for an international brand?
It plans and produces the campaign, buys and optimizes the media, and reports the result in one place. For international brands Rebel Co. Group covers strategy, creative concept, film and photo production, Google, YouTube, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn media, programmatic through Criteo and RTB House, and localisation into Turkish, English, German, Russian and Arabic.
Is Rebel Co. Group a traditional or a digital advertising agency?
Digital first, with production in house. We do not sell TV airtime or billboards, but we produce the film, the photography and the creative system that your campaign needs, then run it where your customers actually are: search, social, video, marketplaces and programmatic display.
How much does advertising in Turkey cost?
Media in Turkey is priced in Turkish lira and is generally cheaper per click and per thousand impressions than Western Europe, while the audience is large and young. Agency fees depend on scope; we work on a monthly retainer or a project fee and never on hidden media margins. You get a written proposal after the first call.
Can you run our advertising in Germany or the UK from Istanbul?
Yes. That is exactly what our nearshore model is for. A Google Premier Partner team plans and runs Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn campaigns for your home market, with native speaking review of every ad, on European working hours and at a 40 to 60 percent lower cost base.
Which platforms matter most for advertising in Turkey?
Google Search and YouTube, Instagram and Facebook through Meta, and TikTok reach almost every online adult in Turkey. For e-commerce brands the marketplaces matter too: Trendyol Ads and Hepsiburada Ads reach shoppers at the moment of purchase. LinkedIn works for B2B, and programmatic display through Criteo and RTB House supports retargeting at scale.
Do you produce the creative as well, or only buy media?
Both, and that is the point. Media without strong creative wastes budget, creative without media never gets seen. Our strategy, design, video and performance teams sit in the same office in Istanbul, so the concept, the film and the campaign structure are built together.
How do we measure whether the advertising works?
Every campaign starts with a tracking setup: conversion tags, consent mode, CRM or e-commerce integration and a live dashboard you own. We report on cost per lead or ROAS, not on impressions. Monthly reviews show what was tested, what was learned and where the next budget goes.
How quickly can a campaign go live?
For an existing brand with assets ready, first campaigns are usually live within two weeks of the signed proposal. New creative production adds two to four weeks depending on the format. We agree the timeline in writing before we start.
