about

Melek Budak manages agency operations and brand projects at mentorXL. She is the bridge between clients and the studio: she turns a brief into a plan, a plan into tasks, and tasks into delivered work.

On every project she keeps scope, timeline and quality aligned, makes sure each team knows what comes next, and keeps clients informed without them having to ask. When several brands, productions and launches run at the same time, she is the reason they don’t collide.
