Narativ Media & Copyright Capital tapped Timur Altop as Strategic Advisor

Narativ Media & Copyright Capital appointed Timur Altop as Strategic Advisor, reinforcing its combined mission to bridge traditional content distribution with the fast-growing creator economy. Altop brings a unique blend of traditional media expertise and digital leadership. Having held senior roles in international media companies, he gained deep experience in content distribution and strategic growth. In his last role, As Timur spearheaded Google as Country Manager, Head of Content Partnerships of YouTube Turkey, where he played a pivotal role in scaling the platform’s presence, empowering local creators, and driving digital transformation in one of the world’s most dynamic media markets.

“Timur’s global experience at the intersection of traditional and digital media is invaluable,” said Manjyot Sandhu, CEO & Co-Founder of Narativ Media. “His insights will help us scale Narativ’s global footprint and deliver our core philosophy of “Your Story, Every Screen”.

Timur added: “YouTube fundamentally redefined the television landscape and ignited a paradigm shift. By making content globally accessible and universal, the platform fostered powerful new communities that traditional media couldn't reach. Strategically, we propelled this change by positioning YouTube as the premier catch-up platform for television content. In parallel, YouTube creators are the new Hollywood, elevating authentic stars who have a deep, trusting connection with their fans, fundamentally altering the media power structure."

This background positions Altop perfectly to guide Narativ & Copyright Capital as the JV expands globally and accelerates its global footprint. Together, this JV brings together one of the largest creator funds in the world (Copyright Capital) together with Narativ’s strategic agility to support both established and emerging content owners, creators, and platforms. His appointment comes as Narativ heads to Mipcom, where the theme Creator First reflects both the seismic shift in the global content ecosystem and Narativ’s core philosophy: ensuring that creators, stories, and audiences connect across every screen.
