Digital Transformation & Performance Marketing
Gökhan Çakır
I help companies connect marketing, sales and operations into one working digital system, from running the ads to building the CRM behind them.
What I do
Advertising & media planning
Budget planning, campaign structure and day-to-day optimisation across Google, Meta and LinkedIn. The part I still run hands-on.
From lead to sale
CRM setup, lead tracking and the daily routine of the sales team, so no enquiry gets lost and everyone can see who is doing what.
Custom platforms
Where off-the-shelf software falls short: internal panels, quote and order flows, customer portals, reporting screens.
Measurement & AI
Conversion tracking and reporting foundations, then practical AI on top: lead prioritisation, creative variations and automation of routine work, measured like any other channel.
About
I founded Roof Digital in Izmir in 2016 and still run it as CEO. Since 2026 I have also been CEO and partner at Massivate, a growth studio based in Belgrade, and I am a partner at Kloudia LLC, a cloud operations and infrastructure company. Before that I co-founded Adgonic and exited in 2025.
I started in 2011 managing Google Ads accounts, then worked in performance marketing at iProspect and Dipol, on campaigns for brands such as Adidas, Reebok, Mattel, Vaillant, Philips, Total and Soyak. I still build campaigns, plan media and manage accounts every week. I enjoy it, and it keeps me close to where results are actually made.
My focus today is digital transformation. We treat the path from an ad impression to a closed deal as a single flow, and build the systems that make it visible: where a lead came from, who is following it up, which campaign actually turned into revenue. That means CRM and lead management, custom panels and platforms, and a measurement layer underneath. We use AI inside that flow, where it removes real work, not as decoration.
I hold a BA in International Relations from Ege University and an MA in Interactive Marketing from Istanbul Bilgi University. Between 2017 and 2022 I taught SEO at Dijital Pazarlama Okulu, and I have delivered digital marketing training for institutions and events.
