YouTube Turkey Alum Boards Narativ Media

Narativ Media & Copyright Capital has tapped Timur Altop as a strategic advisor as it explores opportunities in the creator economy.

Altop is a former country manager and head of content partnerships for Turkey at YouTube.

“Timur’s global experience at the intersection of traditional and digital media is invaluable,” said Manjyot Sandhu, CEO and co-founder of Narativ Media. “His insights will help us scale Narativ’s global footprint and deliver our core philosophy of ‘Your Story, Every Screen.”

Altop added: “YouTube fundamentally redefined the television landscape and ignited a paradigm shift. By making content globally accessible and universal, the platform fostered powerful new communities that traditional media couldn’t reach. Strategically, we propelled this change by positioning YouTube as the premier catch-up platform for television content. In parallel, YouTube creators are the new Hollywood, elevating authentic stars who have a deep, trusting connection with their fans, fundamentally altering the media power structure.”

Narativ & Copyright Capital is a joint venture that brings together Copyright Capital’s creator fund with Narativ’s track record with established and emerging creators.
