Recep Zerk is a digital literacy advocate and marketing professional born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1985. Holding a degree in Industrial Engineering, he built his early career in mid-level management roles across diverse sectors before shifting his focus to digital marketing in the late 2010s. He has developed significant expertise in digital marketing, particularly within the heating sector, where he combines practical industry experience with modern digital strategies.

In recent years, Recep has broadened his professional scope to include content creation and research around digital literacy, artificial intelligence, algorithms, and emerging technologies. He describes himself as a digital literacy advocate and works at the intersection of technology, information culture, and business operations. As the author of the Algorithmic Cage 2026 Report and the AI Visibility Report, his work examines how algorithms and AI systems shape the way individuals and businesses interact with information — and what it means to navigate that landscape consciously.

Recep is fluent in both Turkish and English. Having traveled extensively and observed diverse cultures across many countries, he has developed a nuanced understanding of how people in different parts of the world interact with technology. These experiences deeply inform his perspective on digital literacy as a global challenge, not just a technical one.
