Arda Cancioglu

Arda Cancioglu grew up in Orhangazi—a place that probably shaped a chunk of his worldview, for better or worse. After cruising through Bahcesehir University’s business program, he stepped into the wild world of marketing right as everything was shifting. From 2010 to 2012, he cut his teeth at Argus, focusing on whatever “next-gen marketing strategies” meant back then. Sounds fancy, but let’s be real, it was probably a mix of late nights, caffeine, and endless brainstorming about how to make brands stand out in a sea of sameness. Not long after, he leveled up and grabbed a manager gig at Altinbas Holding. Two years of that grind—bet he learned the difference between just clocking in and actually leading people. But Arda’s not the type to stick to one lane. By 2015, he’d jumped into the entertainment industry as the entertainment director at Merit International. That’s not your average desk job. Imagine balancing egos, events, wild ideas, and maybe even a few disasters behind the scenes. He held onto that circus until 2024, which is honestly impressive. Most folks would’ve tapped out. Then, in 2021, somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, he launched ASC Production. Starting a company isn’t for the faint of heart, but Arda’s whole career kinda screams, “Why not?” The dude’s journey is packed with pivots, hustle, and a willingness to dive headfirst into whatever’s next.
