ABOUT US

Betsy Glick, Founder

Betsy Glick is an award-winning communicator whose career was built on storytelling. 


Most recently, she served more than 16 years as a media and entertainment liaison for the FBI, consulting to dozens of show writers, pitching hundreds of closed cases for true crime series and dramatic projects on major broadcast networks, cable channels and streaming providers.


A few times each year, she hosted intensive and informative professional seminars (25 in total) for writers, directors and producers guilds on the East and West coasts.  


On the production front, she wrote and developed more than a dozen television commercials featuring FBI characters announcing important information for victims of crime and promoting public safety including stars from the X Files, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, and Dick Wolf’s “The FBI.” These spots reached over 140 million viewers in one year.


Betsy created several public-private partnerships, working with television networks to create publicity campaigns that generated tips from viewers (fans were encouraged to help Matthew Bomer a.k.a. Neal Caffrey “help the FBI solve these real life crimes!” )  


In recent months, she has written about the challenges and hurdles faced by deaf and hard-of-hearing employees in hopes of inspiring people facing hardships like her own, as well as the next generation of friends, families, and coworkers alongside them. 


In 2019, Ragan Communications/PR Daily named her a Leader in its 2019 “Top Women In Communications" Awards. 


In 2020, Glick also received the prestigious “Joseph Wharton Award” from the Wharton School of Business Washington, DC Chapter. 


From personal experience when her father died young, she directed the creation of a national multimedia "Real Life Stories" campaign to educate young parents the value of life insurance. Her “Life Insurance: It isn’t for the people who die, it's for the people who live" campaign remains effective, 25 years later. 


Glick was a contractor for the American Battle Monuments Commission and as the director of communications for the National World War II Memorial, she helped honor “The Greatest Generation.”


Later, her tenure at the Drug-Free Kids Campaign/CADCA helped build safe, healthy and drug-free communities.  


In her spare time, Betsy enjoys creating dog and cat color pencil portraits for friends, celebrities and charity causes (visit www.pets-by-bets.com )
