Yılmaz Erman Anıt
Yılmaz Erman is the Co-Founder & COO of Yondervast AI, which he founded with Ozan Ketenci. They are building an AI-powered creative workspace that brings brand knowledge, ideas and creative workflows together, from the first brief to words, images, motion and sound.
He is also a Creative Director and co-founder of DifferentGuys, a creative technology studio working across London and Istanbul. Founded in February 2025, the studio connects creative thinking, emerging technology and production.
Over the past five years, his work has increasingly focused on how AI can expand the creative process. At DifferentGuys and Yondervast, he brings his experience in advertising and film to the development of tools and workflows that give creative people more room to think, experiment and make.
Previously, he spent eight years at DDB/Tribal Worldwide Istanbul, most recently as Creative Director, following roles at TBWA/Istanbul, Grey Group and MullenLowe. Across 15 years in advertising, he has worked with global brands including Turkish Airlines, Unilever EMEA, HSBC, Canon and Nike.
He has worked on more than 100 commercial film productions across over ten markets, including Italy, South Africa, the UAE, the UK and Hong Kong. His documentary-style film “Turkish Cargo: Mission Rescue” reached more than 10 million views and received coverage from CNN, the BBC and National Geographic.
His work has been recognised at Kristal Elma and Felis. He is a member of the Turkish Graphic Designers Association (GMK) and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
