What to Avoid

- Insensitive Cultural References: Content that misunderstands or misrepresents Turkish cultural values.
- Direct Translations: Simply translating campaigns from other markets without cultural adaptation.
- Politically Divisive Content: Turkey has a complex political landscape – brands should generally remain neutral.
- Short-Term Focus: Building relationships with Turkish influencers requires investment in longer-term partnerships.
