Hi, I’m Yigit Zigal, and even I don’t know the meaning of my surname. I’m currently working as a creative group head at Happy People Project, a prominent, Turkey-based advertising network.
Before working in advertising, I used to play drums. I started playing drums at the age of six thanks to my dad. And I decided to quit it thanks to Jack Harlow cause he made me quit it when I saw him adjusting audio levels with the help of a toothpick. I couldn’t bear someone that talented.
I love writing ads, finding concepts, and as you can see, making jokes. In fact, I quit playing drums just before I started studying at the university. I graduated from Istanbul Kültür University after spending a year at Zeppelin Universitat in Germany and majored in Communication Arts.
