For the first time this year, the agency used EEG technology to measure the emotions of more than 500 candidates when viewing advertisements to find fans for advertising.They prepared a test in cooperation with Minder, one of the best companies in the field of neurotechnology in Turkey and tested each of the applicants.

As a result 5 out of 503 interns who conceded the most love towards “advertising” acquired the right to become a part of the TBWA\ISTANBUL family as an intern for 3 months..
