Hi, I'm Neslim Hancılar

I earned my first money from creative work at the age of nine. I placed second in the nationwide children's painting competition and won a generous cash prize. I have to admit I could never have sold the painting for that price.

​

I was a happy kid who played a lot and read a lot. Growing up, I became an engineer with a passion for problem solving and systems building. Earlier in my career, I earned my first Ninja badge as I became a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Working in R&D, Quality and Manufacturing helped me learn a lot about making products.

​

During a seminar, I decided I was not in the right place. I wanted to be in business, not in a factory or a lab. People told me I could not change my career after a decade. I didn't listen! Soon after, I launched my international marketing career. Adventure and fun followed!

​

I had my first marketing meeting with a Swedish client. My first market visit was to Egypt. Over the past decade, I have gained extensive marketing experience in Europe, MENA, North America, South America, Australia and have collected a lot of Ninja "Market" Badges. Building new connections and understanding different cultures has enriched my life.

​

My real breakthrough came with digital marketing. Ninja learns the knowledge of nature and how to use it. What nature is to a Ninja, the online world is to a Marketer. Any online strategy has a shelf life of less than a year, and each skill leads to learning another. That's the excitement. And that inspired me to start Marketing Ninja.

​

Creativity, Courage, Connection, and Contribution make my journey meaningful. Marketing Ninja is my hope to convey this meaning to you.
