mixxt successfully launched in Turkey
After our successful launch in Poland in May this year, mixxt made a further step towards internationalisation and expanded into Turkey. Şekip Can Gökalp, our Turkish Country Manager, is responsible for increasing the awareness of mixxt, the development and support of the Turkish community as well as the care of our business customers. Because of several years of experience within the range of marketing and Social Networks in Turkey, he has established excellent relations throughout the Turkish market and comments on our launch:
“Social Networking is one of the hottest topics in the Web for Turkey. The community kit mixxt as a first-mover offers the ideal tool for all niches in Turkey and will be very successful in a short time. I am glad to support the mixxt team with the internationalisation.”
“Turkey is one of the fastest-growing markets and even the big players in our sector are just discovering it right now. The key is to be local & first-mover. We are pleased that our Social Network kit is so well accepted here straight away and are happy to welcome a network for a large gothic magazine (karakalem.mixxt.com) as well as one for the promotion of Turkish startups (etohum.mixxt.com) on our plattform.” founder and CEO Oliver Ueberholz says.
Webrazzi for example, which can be compared with techcrunch, posted an article about mixxt as a competitor to ning and grou.ps. Erhan Erdoğan of Webrazzi writes in his post “I appreciate right startups coming to Turkey with the right local professionals working for them.”
With German, English, Polish and Turkish, mixxt is now ‘quadrilingual’, or – to be precise – offers four and a half languages, as a formal German is additionally available in order to meet the requirements of our corporate customers and formal events. More than 1,500 network founders have already created their community. Why don’t you give it a try? It’s easy, fast and fun!
