Hi, I'm Sude. Founding marketer.
In four years I went from intern to marketing manager. As a founding marketer I built a web3 education platform's marketing from zero and ran marketing in six countries. Today I do it with AI-native workflows, so a small team works at the scale of a big one.
İstanbul & Ankara · Remote
Numbers from channels and markets I ran myself.
Company-wide figures sit under each project, with their source.
A week on the ground with the Rise In team. I shot and edited interviews across the Stellar ecosystem and turned out recaps while the moments were fresh, using a Claude skill I wrote for interview pacing, cuts, subtitles and name cards.
As a marketer, I love seeing how the work we do in web3 goes beyond campaigns and content to connect people, communities, and ecosystems.

The main-stage moment: Stellar Development Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon mentioned Rise In on the main stage, and one of our videos played on the big screen.
“AI won't make you a better marketer on its own. Knowing your craft, and knowing exactly when and how to bring AI in, will.”
I shot and edited every X video below. Scroll sideways.
One question we need to ask @DenelleDixon but in our way 💛

The baddest builders ain’t in SF. 🌍 We asked builders at #HackMeridian2026 one simple question: “Where are you from?”

Because I built it end to end, I own every layer.
Reels and short-form, launch films, builder stories, event and hackathon recaps, B2B explainers. Storyboards and briefs for the team, or the whole edit myself. From script to delivery file, with the hook, captions, sound design and platform-safe framing.
Blog and YouTube content, SEO-led descriptions, an editorial calendar built for organic reach.
Content on X, LinkedIn and Instagram shaped by A/B tests. Lead tracking and Google Analytics reporting.
Hackathons, bootcamps, grants and bounties. The path that takes a developer from the first lesson to the first shipped product.
Joint programs with global blockchain foundations, brand launches in new markets, partner announcements.
I don't ask “how can we use AI to make content?” I ask “how do we design workflows where AI amplifies human strategy?” Human approval layers, version control, logging and performance tracking: AI executes, people own the decisions.
Skillcamp × Jobnest.ai · B2B partnership
I made the B2B content and videos for the partnership between Skillcamp, Patika.dev's corporate training brand, and Jobnest.ai, an AI-powered HR platform: measure a team's AI skills first, then build the training from that report. Concept, brief and edit were all done with the Claude project skills I wrote. More in the video library under B2B.
The AI-assisted video studio I built for myself
In May, making ad videos with Remotion meant explaining every animation again and again. Today, with Claude skills I wrote, a video takes about 15 minutes. Edit Panel puts those skills on one screen: pick a brand, an audience and a format, the first cut follows the brand's rules, and I fine-tune on the timeline.
n8n
Instagram Reels
SEO articles
Automations I built · for the products I market
I turned daily social and search publishing into n8n workflows. Reels: a topic and a character go in; AI writes the script, an image is made and Veo 3 renders the video. Carousels and single posts work the same way. SEO: every article in Turkish and English, shipped to the blog as MDX. Nothing social goes out until a person approves it in Slack.
B2B
for HR, L&D and C-suite buyers
AI-powered English practice product · B2B marketing
My role: I led B2B marketing for HR and L&D decision-makers and built the marketing infrastructure: landing page copy, email sequences, a content calendar, performance tracking and dashboards. We built n8n and AI workflows for it, and content goes out after a human approval step.
The email studio I built from six months of campaign data
I analysed six months of email campaign data for two B2B brands and turned what worked into rules: a subject line that asks the reader a question, an easy free offer instead of a meeting request, one destination link, no more than three bullets. The panel has Claude write each email by those rules, draws the header image in the brand's style and checks the result against the data. Out come Mailjet-ready HTML, a plain-text version for A/B tests and a PDF for team review. It can also turn a PDF report into an announcement email built from the report's own findings.
Creative direction · Pera Palace, Istanbul Blockchain Week, June 2025
My role: I turned the “Hack to the Future” idea, a hackathon inside the 130-year-old Pera Palace, into a visual story. I wrote the storyboard and the brief for the announcement video, and the brief for the recap video after the event.
The event (a Stellar and Rise In team effort): 200+ developers selected from 500+ applications, 72 projects, $25,000 to 10 teams, 25%+ women, a 4.86/5 participant rating. Source: @riseinweb3

Events for web3 ecosystems
Event planning and production · end to end
My role: I planned and ran events for web3 ecosystems, from the first plan to the post-event report.
Global web3 education platform · founding marketer, 2023 to now
My role: I built marketing from zero in July 2023. We entered Türkiye and India first; Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam followed. I set up the content and growth engine for courses, hackathons, grants and bounties, and ran marketing for joint programs with the Aptos, Stellar, Algorand and Celo Foundations. Through the campaigns I ran for Stellar, Solana, Aptos, EDU Chain, Algorand and more, we distributed over $1M to the community.

Türkiye's coding education community · intern to manager, 2021 to now
My role: I ran Patika.dev's social media and content. I grew Instagram with audience-first Reels tested every week, and made the blog, YouTube and SEO content, reporting on it in Google Analytics. The results are in the numbers above.

One company the whole way: Patika.dev. My role grew, and new brands and communities came alongside it.
I joined at the very beginning, when Patika.dev was a web2 platform training software developers: first content, setting up the social channels, building the community.
I took over social media and content growth with Reels at the center. We moved into web3, and I built Superteam Türkiye's marketing from zero together with the community: 3,000 followers on X in the first year.
I launched ICP Hub Türkiye's marketing with the community: 2,000 followers on X in four months.
Rise In launched alongside Patika.dev and I became its first marketer: channels, content system and community, built from zero. Event marketing across Türkiye, India, Vietnam, Indonesia and the UAE.
I started running Stellar Türkiye's marketing with the community, and content and community for Stellar's programs in Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Still at both, with Stellar Türkiye alongside. I run content, growth, brand and community with AI at the center of the creative process. SheFi Season 14 scholar since 2025.
Real product, real numbers, no hype. If a claim can't be verified, it doesn't go on screen.
