CPLG Bolsters Operations in Turkey

CPLG has opened CPLG Turkey, which will be led by Begum Isikli, who is based out of Istanbul.

Isikli will assume the position of commercial director and report to Anthe Louizos, managing director, CPLG Turkey and Greece.

Prior to joining CPLG, Isikli was head of retail at The Walt Disney Company Turkey. Prior, Isikli served as category manager at Lisans.

CPLG Turkey will launch with a portfolio that includes brands such as Nickelodeon, DHX Brands, SEGA, Felix the Cat, “Sesame Street,” “Oddbods” and Billboard.

CPLG Turkey has also secured the local preschool property “Canim Kardesim” (My Dear Sister) for licensing across all categories including toys, publishing and apparel.

“The establishment of CPLG Turkey and the recent acquisition of ‘Canim Kardesim,’ further strengthens CPLG’s position, not only as a key player in Southern Europe, but highlights the local expertise each office brings to the CPLG global network.”
