Calinos appoints Onur Sözener as head of sales, targets evolved digital model

Calinos Entertainment has introduced Onur Sözener as its new Head of Sales at MIPCOM 2025. Sözener joins the content distribution company with 15 years of experience in the advertising division of a major news broadcaster in Turkey.

Sözener stated that his goal is to integrate his revenue-generation background into the company’s content profile. He seeks to evolve the business model beyond simple content sales to buyers, aiming instead for partners to become business associates.

‘Within Calinos, what I’m looking to do is evolve the business and not only have content sales to buyers, but also have them become business partners, exploring new models to choose the lowest price depending on the product and the partners’, Sözener said. He views the challenge as a significant opportunity to elevate the sale of Turkish dramas in the digital era. Sözener confirmed the strategy is focused on ‘generating many win-win deals’.
