24/7, a global leader in production services, announces the launch of a new office in Turkey, in partnership with DEPOfilm

Twentyfour Seven, the pioneering global service production company that executes some of the industry’s most compelling, award-winning creative work, has expanded once again to four additional countries to strengthen its 360-degree network, including in Istanbul, Turkey.

Twentyfour Seven: A Global Tour de Force

Having spent over two decades honing a reputation for producing bespoke, culture-setting campaigns for major brands that tap the world’s most elite production partners — including Apple, Amazon, Hornbach, Adidas, and more — the worldwide expansion marks a new chapter in a story of organic, people-first growth. A founder-led company run by its 12 original leaders, Twentyfour Seven builds out its international offerings with additional collaborators it already knows and trusts: producers whose reputations, creativity, and cultural fluency turn new offices into living, breathing extensions of the network. Each new office is led by seasoned producers who bring their own creative DNA, while furthering their belief that world-class production services are born from authentic connections.

“We don’t expand for the sake of scale,” said Ivo van Vollenhoven, CEO of Twentyfour Seven Group. “We expanded when we found the right people; unique and compelling creative voices who embody our independent spirit and our way of working. All of our offices, old and new, are collaborative and fearless, and they always have an eye on long-term relationships, staying true to who we are.”

DEPOfilm: Turkey’s Most Successful Production Partner

In Turkey, Twentyfour Seven partners with Founder and CEO Ender Sevim of DEPOfilm, one of Istanbul’s most respected production entrepreneurs. He is joined by Executive Producer Merve Yalçınkaya as his co-head of service, Managing Director Cuneyt Utkular, Executive Producers Melisa Divanoglu and Burak Erdener, Producers Birol Akbaba, Oyku Aytulun, and Hakan Atasoy, and Production Assistant Ekim Koc.

For any production and production services company, Istanbul represents a non-negotiable center of creative business, with coveted access to all of EMEA. Istanbul’s cultural hub spans the variety required to pull off “anytime, anywhere”-style shoots required in today’s breakneck advertising landscape, with a diverse population; even more diverse varieties of locations, climates, and biomes; and highly competitive technical and creative talent.

Already a large outfit, Istanbul has long been the ideal marketing hub for major global brands like Disney+, Netflix, Unilever, Mondelez International, Pfizer, Amazon, and more. The giants flock to the third-largest exporter of scripted content in the world after the U.S., according to The Economist, and to reach its ever-growing young adult population. 

Notes Merve Yalçınkaya, Executive Producer, “Istanbul offers unique opportunities for production and creative work. The city’s authentic diversity makes casting especially strong, and its location provides access to a wide range of filming environments, not just within Istanbul, but also across neighboring regions in Europe and the Middle East. Our technical crews are highly skilled and competitive, and the creative talent here continues to impress.”

DEPOfilm and Turkey: Windows to the EMEA Entertainment Ecosystem

DEPOfilm–the preeminent Istanbul production company known for 20 years of success spanning advertising, long forms, non-scripted content, and more–will leverage its longstanding client relationships for Twentyfour Seven. Ender is globally recognized for combining artistic vision with strategic leadership, positioning himself as a pioneering figure who connects Turkey’s creative industry with international markets.

“I always say, ‘good people meet good people,’ and Twentyfour Seven are good people,” says Ender. “As a global company, we always seek to partner with the best-fitting global partners, and Twentyfour Seven is one of the best players in the market.” Collaborating with leading creative agencies and directors from Turkey and around the world, Ender has produced numerous global advertising campaigns and original productions together with his valued team. He is also the founder of PLUG, a mobile-first production company, and the co-founder of RIDERS Film. He previously served as Vice President of CFP-E (Commercial Film Producers of Europe). He also held both the presidency and a board membership at the Turkish Association of Commercial Film Producers.

The office will first facilitate more global work out of Twentyfour Seven from DEPOfilm in Turkey, before expanding its own clients to other cities under the Twentyfour Seven banner, as part of the expansion, including Turkish Airlines, Netflix, Disney+, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Walkers, Nestlé, and more. 

Adds Merve, “Global brands have existed in Turkey for many years. On top of that, huge entertainment companies are only growing their footholds in Turkey, as the third-largest content exporter in the world. That should tell everyone how big the advertising and entertainment industries are becoming in the country.”

The expanded worldwide reach will only enforce Twentyfour Seven’s hard-won reputation for delivering brand-bespoke, consumer-resonant content for the 21st century.
