TTVNews celebrates its first 20 years, inviting friends and industry colleagues to share their personal experiences over the past two decades. Tayfur Sonkaya, Founder at Haciyatmaz Group, answers “where were you 20 years ago?”

This 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of TTVNews, a big reason to celebrate for the group which is consolidating itself as one of the go-to media platforms in the audiovisual industry in Latin America.

And to mark the occasion, we’ve invited friends and colleagues to share their experiences, challenges and lessons learned over the last 20 years in this industry.

This time, Tayfur Sonkaya, Founder at Haciyatmaz Group, answers “where were you 20 years ago?”

Where were you 20 years ago?

Twenty years ago, I was in the middle school, so I don’t have any idea what will happen. But now, we are in Miami, and we’re producing telenovelas. And in the future, please follow us, because we will come very strong, and all the world will speak about our projects.

What was your first industry event?

My first international market was MIPTV, I guess. Six years ago. I’m brand new.
