About

Started as editors. Became the department.

A fractional creative department: the strategy, production and packaging of an in-house team, present in your business, without being on your payroll.

BUBI began as the working agreement of two people with different instincts who share a life. Dogu wants to know whether an idea can work: in theory first, then properly in the room. Kubra wants to know how it will work again, with the steps written down and the right people briefed. Editing led to strategy, strategy led to channel management, and the supplier became a creative department. Both founders remain accountable for the work, with a recurring specialist bench and written rules that stay current. If both founders are ever unavailable at once, a trusted contact holds time-delayed emergency access to the accounts, so the work continues or hands over cleanly.

The founders care about:frame-accurate feedback, properly recorded pianos and house rules that stay current.

The founders

Two founders, with different strengths

Dogu Arkan

Creative Lead and Co-Founder

Strategy, creative direction and sound design: the details you do not see and cannot stop hearing. A musician by background, composition and production included, which is why sound is treated here as half the picture, and on the takes that go well, the half you notice last.

Known for treating art and science as one instinct pursued two ways.

More about Dogu

Owns

Creative direction, sound and the standard on every cut that leaves the studio.

Known for

The point where an analytic reading has to turn into something an audience feels.

Tools

Adobe throughout, and a grade takes as many parallel Lumetri passes as it takes, which has run to ten. Judge the work by whether it sits with the rest of your video, not by which tool cut it.

How he replies

Anything you can act on today comes back in writing; strategy and reporting he would rather say out loud, on a call. When an idea will not reach the result he says so in as many words: here is a synthesis that would get there, do you want to carry on knowing this one moves us away from it?

Off the bench

Composing and producing his own music, and leaving detail in his own records for whoever listens closely enough to find it. A louder supporter of analogue art than a company owner has any business being.

Kubra Terlemez

Operations Lead and Co-Founder

Systems, schedules and standards, so nothing waits on anyone remembering it. Not the loudest voice on a thread, the one copied on all of them, keeper of the written working procedures, and the answer to "who do I talk to?" (Her.)

Known for deciding by what she rules out, not by what she wants.

More about Kubra

Owns

Schedules, standards, edit direction and the SOP behind every partner, plus the last check before delivery.

Known for

The stakeholder page: who needs time to reply, who wants to stay in the thread, who wants options and who wants a recommendation.

Tools

Notion for the workflow, Frame.io for review, Slack and WhatsApp for the day itself, and a tracking sheet for what has shipped. Edit rights on that sheet are the one thing that never leaves this side.

How she replies

Before you ask. The standing rule in every SOP is that the update goes out without being requested, and that work never stops while an answer is outstanding: the next edit starts instead.

Off the bench

A mystery novel on the go, The Da Vinci Code at the moment. Short trips to see friends, Kosovo most recently, and long evenings talking and watching things with people she has known for years.

The craft

What a deliverables list leaves out

Piano recordings tested for how the microphones combine before mixing. Colour matched across three camera angles. Text presets checked at different sentence lengths.

Where the work has been

Culturally British, operationally global

Projects delivered, by partner country: 39 in total, counted August 2026.

Founded in London, we work with partners across several markets. Our permanent studio is in Izmir, on the Aegean coast, where we shoot our own content.

A delivery spec is a document before it is a setting

We record the delivery requirements for each partnership, so exports follow an agreed specification even when the deadline is close.

A second language is a second set of house rules

Language, terminology and publishing conventions are recorded in the brand notes for each market. Whoever writes for that market next starts from those notes.

A time-zone gap is planned for, never sold

When the studio and the partner are not awake at the same time, nothing can depend on catching somebody. Whatever matters is settled in writing before the day it is needed, which is the same discipline remote direction runs on.

Our work travels, and so do we, which is convenient for a studio that would have found reasons to travel anyway.

Bring us the work you want to make more room for.

We look at what you have, tell you what we would change, and agree the expected result before anything begins.
