About Senem

Senem Kayar portrait

Hi, I'm Senem. I help brands turn complex communication challenges into simple creative systems that people understand, creators embrace, and teams can execute consistently.

01

Who I Am

Over 5+ years across agency, brand, and creator-economy environments, I've built content strategy for global brands including Philips, Nestlé, ASUS ROG, and NVIDIA Studio, and led work from agencies and companies including WPP, Mindshare, McCann and CreatorDen.

02

How I Work

Decode the brief, find the cultural tension, build the creative framework, then adapt it across every creator, channel, and touchpoint: from influencer content to integrated digital, social and OOH, without losing brand consistency.

03

Where I'm Headed

Currently strengthening my expertise across performance marketing fundamentals, B2B content funnels, and email marketing, complementing my experience in campaign strategy, content systems, AI-assisted workflows, and SEO-aware content.

The 360° Advantage

My career has moved across media, agency, brand, communications and creator economy environments. This helps me understand the logic of media planners, the ambition of creative teams, the pressure of brand managers and the reputation lens of communication leaders.

02 · How I Think

How I Think

Most creative processes start with an idea. Mine starts with a diagnosis: where does a brand actually earn the right to speak inside a cultural moment, not just the right to advertise in it. That diagnosis becomes a territory, a piece of cultural logic strong enough to generate hundreds of formats without ever repeating itself. The campaign isn't the work. The system underneath it is.

How I Think strategic methodology board

Strategic thinking sample: Sephora Turkey Valentine's Day 2026, pitch preparation.

See the thinking process
  1. The Brief

    Sephora Turkey's Valentine's Day 2026 pitch asked for two full strategic directions built end to end: positioning, content ecosystem, creator selection, publishing calendar and reporting approach, with fragrance as the priority product and Beauty Advisors as the creative focus. The mandate was to be singular and disruptive, generate viral reach, and still tie back to measurable sales impact.

  2. Finding the Tension

    Instead of starting from the product, I read the cultural conversation around Valentine's Day and found that the real friction wasn't the shopping step. People aren't struggling to buy a gift, they're struggling to find one that says 'I know you.' That's an expression problem, not a purchase problem.

  3. Defining the Brand's Role

    Beauty Advisors don't just recommend products, they remove decision anxiety. That reframed Sephora's role from retailer to translator of affection, and became the strategic territory: 'My Love Language is Sephora,' built on three functions: curator of modern love, reducer of uncertainty, enabler of expression.

  4. Building the Content System

    I broke the territory into six content pillars so it could scale without repeating itself: Celebrity Love Languages, Self Love Narratives, Couple Stories, Pop Culture Extensions, Zodiac Content, and Retail Activation, each with its own format logic and creator brief.

  5. Mapping the Journey

    I mapped the funnel across four stages: awareness, consideration, conversion and advocacy, each with a specific emotional goal and content role, then translated it into concrete executions: PR and editorial coverage, TikTok and Reels social content, in-store experience design, and gifting zones, all tied back to the brief's original KPIs: awareness, viral reach, engaged community, and sales uplift.

Selected Campaign Architectures

Integrated Campaign Case Studies

Philips OneUp launch campaign

Philips · Product Launch

OneUp

My role

Acted as creative lead for the influencer launch campaign, developing communication routes, creator strategy and content structure.

The thinking

A product launch should not stop at awareness. The opportunity was to connect influencer storytelling with conversion by building a route that moved from product discovery to creator advocacy and ultimately to marketplace action.

How it ran

  • Developed the launch communication narrative
  • Built the creator strategy and content structure
  • Led influencer storytelling and creator advocacy
  • Connected creator content with marketplace activation

Outcome

Turned influencer content into measurable business impact, generating 44M views, 17M reach, 249K marketplace sessions and 3,000+ sales.

ASUS ROG Ally launch campaign

ASUS · Product Launch

ROG Ally

My role

Prepared launch guidelines adopted across 25 countries and operated the EMEA #DayOneWithROG campaign across 10 countries with 25 global influencers.

The thinking

A global product launch needed enough structure to create consistency across markets without making local execution feel disconnected. The challenge was to create one scalable communication framework that markets and creators could adapt.

How it ran

  • Developed scalable launch guidelines
  • Created a communication framework for global market adaptation
  • Supported the EMEA #DayOneWithROG campaign
  • Coordinated execution across 10 markets
  • Worked with 25 global creators

Outcome

Built a global communication framework that unified markets under one launch story, with the guidelines adopted across 25 countries.

Lumea x Girl Math creator content route

Philips · Creator Route

Lumea × Girl Math

My role

Adapted the viral "Girl Math" trend into a creator-led content route, shaping the creative angle and influencer storytelling structure.

The thinking

Instead of communicating Lumea as another functional beauty-tech product, the opportunity was to connect its product benefit with a cultural conversation younger audiences already understood, making the purchase feel like a long-term beauty investment.

How it ran

  • Adapted the "Girl Math" trend into a creator concept
  • Developed the creative storytelling angle
  • Structured the influencer content route
  • Worked with 9 creators
  • Produced 43 pieces of content

Outcome

Turned a functional beauty-tech benefit into a culturally relevant creator story, reaching 5.9M people through social content.

TikTok AI Content System

Hepsiburada · TikTok

AI Content System

My role

Created the AI persona, designed the content ecosystem and production workflow, and led the process from concept development to series rollout.

The thinking

AI should not be treated as a production shortcut. The opportunity was to turn it into a recognizable content personality and build a repeatable system around it, so the format could grow beyond a single piece of content.

How it ran

  • Developed the AI persona and creative identity
  • Designed the content ecosystem and production workflow
  • Developed scripts and prompts for the content system
  • Rolled the concept into a recurring TikTok series

Outcome

Built an AI-native content system that turned a single character into a scalable content ecosystem, generating 6 episodes and reaching a 836K+ follower audience.

KitKat campaign

KitKat · Imaginary Work

Cinematic Campaign

My role

Proposed the creative platform connecting KitKat's global positioning with a culturally relevant local insight. Identified Teoman's widely discussed "taking a break from music" narrative and developed the collaboration concept around it.

The thinking

The challenge was to make a global brand platform feel genuinely local rather than simply translating the message. The opportunity was to find a cultural moment that naturally embodied KitKat's "Have a Break, Have a KitKat" idea.

How it ran

  • Connected the global KitKat platform with a local cultural insight
  • Developed the KitKat x Teoman collaboration concept
  • Shaped the creative platform and campaign narrative
  • Developed a 3-film hero content series
  • Rolled the platform out across TV, digital, social and PR

Outcome

Turned a global brand platform into a culturally relevant local campaign, creating one creative platform, 3 hero films and a national launch campaign.
