Brand and advertising strategy—with design and development in the same frame.

I’m Ali Can Yaycılı, based in Dublin: I lead with brand and advertising strategy, and I keep interface design and development on the same table—across the stacks your roadmap needs. Clear narrative, measurable campaigns, and shippable, maintainable digital surfaces move together.

How I think about delivery

Brand promise and advertising strategy first: audience, funnel, and measurement need clarity before creative or code races ahead. Then interface design and development—with accessibility, analytics, and rollback in the same definition of “done”.

Workshops and inventories are not ceremony—they close the gap between strategy and production. Shared artefacts like message maps, channel roles, and component lists help product, design, and engineering move without waiting on me.

Where I’m strongest

Day-to-day depth in Ireland, the UK, and Turkey; async-first habits and flexible call windows for teams anywhere. CET-friendly hours from Dublin make live collaboration straightforward for most European roadmaps.

I’m used to carrying the chain from strategy docs through live campaigns into product UI; I pair design on density, development on performance, and backend on contracts and edge cases.

Privacy and governance

Campaign and product surfaces often touch consent, cookies, and third-party embeds. I default to minimal data collection, documented flows, and pragmatic patterns that fit GDPR / KVKK expectations without blocking shipping.

When your audience is global, we still choose patterns that are explainable to legal and support—not “hide it in a submenu” UX.

What a typical engagement looks like

Discovery to align metrics and constraints; high-fidelity UI in code where it matters; staged rollout with flags and dashboards; a concise post-launch note on deltas, incidents, and the next increment.

I’m happy in retainers, fixed phases, or embedded support around release weeks—scoped to what actually unblocks your roadmap.
