Freelance copywriter and marketing consultant

Tim Bete: Dayton, OH; Over the years I've held many high-level marketing positions. I was a vice-president at a midsize publishing company. While there, I managed the development of more than 2,000 communication pieces. For a few years, I managed all editorial activities of two national, award-winning magazines. I was the National Marketing Manager and e-Marketing Manager at the University of Dayton. And I've been the Fundraising Director at a small non-profit.

I've created hundreds of direct-marketing campaigns during my career. I’ve written copy, directed art and project-managed national direct-marketing promotions for IBM, World Book, Rayovac and General Mills. I've created fundraising letters, brochures and advertisements for a $150 million fundraising campaign. I've masterminded and implemented comprehensive fundraising strategies for non-profits who had no idea where to begin. I’ve even been quoted as a marketing expert in Interactive Public Relations, Web Content Report, PR News and 1-to-1 Direct, to name a few.

Have a question about non-profit marketing? Drop me a line.
