As previously stated, Gökhan had a lot to say to his audience, but it's important to remember that on social media, choosing the right audience is more important than making posts, because even great content isn't enough. The uninterested audience will not even look at it.

As That’s Me!, we defined Gökhan’s first target audience as leaders who are also interested in finance, economy, and investment. The target audience includes leaders such as board members, C-level executives, and human resources directors. These people want to get the right information, and Gökhan can provide it.

He was invited to speak at Clubhouse events.
