TBWA Istanbul CEO Burcu Özdemir Kayımtu stated in the panel: “Participants might ask themselves why an advertising agency is here and making this organisation. We met with Needs Map in 2015 and we thought how good things it did and we had to contribute to it. In that process our paths crossed with UNDP Turkey.

We aim for Turkey to show social awareness in every platform and broaden this movement to the masses.”
