Positions

Partner
Ad I Like
Netherlands
January 2019 - Present (5 years 10 months)
Originally Ad I Like was founded by international creative director Tolga Büyükdoğanay, who has worked in Turkey, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands and has won over 100 national and international awards.
Later Nils Adriaans, who was editor in chief of Creatie magazine (the Dutch equivalent of Adweek on creativity, with an international focus) and now founder of Morning + Glory strategic story writers, joined Tolga in his quest to share his passion for ads that stand out, that he simply… liked.
By asking bespoke creatives around the world which ad they utterly like (and why) Tolga and Nils are building a community of connoisseurs, which will turn “Ad I Like” into an authority, archive and main source for the greatest, latest ads and scoops.
