In the business for close to 15 years, Alev has experience launching and promoting consumer products, managing corporate and consumer marketing campaigns, strategic program development, non-profit communications, and, of course, media relations. Her expertise lies in creative, strategic thinking, keeping the trains on the track when it comes to execution, and always thinking “is there something else/better/different we could be doing?”

Over the years, Alev also has worked with the likes of Starbucks Coffee Company, several Quaker Oats brands, as well as PUMA, Grand Marnier, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, The Home Shopping Network, The Weather Channel USA Networks, and BBC America.  On the non-profit side, Alev has helped raise profiles of Riverkeeper, an advocacy group dedicated to safeguarding the ecological integrity of the Hudson River, its tributaries and the watershed of New York City; The Robin Hood Foundation, a New York City philanthropy; and Around the Coyote, which supports emerging artists in Chicago.  She also has served on the public relations committee for the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association’s Windows of the Magnificent Mile event.
