Hey! This is Dr. Mustafa Cıngı from Erciyes University, Faculty of Communication, Public Relations and Advertising Department. I teach digital marketing communication and campaign-related courses in the undegraduate program. Campaigns for advertising, public relations, social media, and integrated digital marketing communication… However, if you ask me which topic I am good at (at least, in my opinion 🙂 ), I say digital communication studies, with a false confidence because of reading 3-5 books more than others 🙂 Few scientific fields fascinate me as much as social media.

In the postgraduate program, I teach ICT information and communication technology in PR, qualitative research method designs, and mixed methods research designs.

At the faculty, I had the pleasure of supervising my students’ projects in the PR lab and the Advertising Lab, and I am happy to say that I continue to do so. Our projects have won several awards in different categories, including the Golden Compass Award from the Turkish Public Relations Association (TÜHİD, a member of IPRA), the Aydın Doğan Foundation’s ‘Young Communicators Contest’ Award, the T.R. Ministry of European Union’s ‘Young Communicators on the Path to EU’ Award, and the ‘Communication Ideas Competition’ Award from the Radio and Television Broadcasters Professional Association (RATEM).

I am also a member of TUHiD (Turkish Public Relations Association) and iLAD (The Communication Research Association). TUHİD is the most important association in the field that brings together communication professionals, academics and students. In addition, iLAD is an association that brings together communication researchers and is the only institution that provides accreditation to communication faculties. Both are leading communication associations in Turkey.

Beyond the academy, I am quite interested in classical Turkish music. I’ve been playing the ney (reed flute) over the past twenty years. I also enjoy shooting photos and making videos.

I love drinking coffee! Whenever my friends travel abroad, I always ask them to bring me back some origin coffee beans. Coffee is the perfect complement to shisha. Maybe one day we can share a cup of coffee together!

That’s all for now. Take care of yourself.
