FBI Technical Advisor and Media Consultant - Betsy Glick

Betsy Glick, Founder

Betsy Glick is an award-winning communicator renowned for her captivating storytelling services. Currently, she serves as an executive consultant for television and film studios, offering unique content and technical expertise accrued over 40 years in various nonprofit and law enforcement sectors, including her role as an FBI liaison.  


Her latest project, a three-part true crime documentary series, is scheduled to premiere on a premium streaming platform in the fall of 2026. Announcement forthcoming.  


Most recently, Betsy worked for over 16 years as a liaison for the FBI, consulting with numerous show writers and pitching hundreds of closed cases for true crime series and dramatic projects across major broadcast networks, cable channels, and streaming providers.  


Each year, she hosted several professional seminars—25 in total—for writers, directors, and producers guilds on both the East and West coasts, focusing on effective script consulting and engaging storytelling techniques.  


On the production front, Betsy developed and wrote more than a dozen television commercials featuring FBI characters, providing vital information for victims of crime and promoting public safety. These campaigns, which included stars from iconic shows like The X-Files, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, and Dick Wolf’s “The FBI,” reached over 140 million viewers in just one year.  


Furthermore, she has created several public-private partnerships that collaborated with television networks to launch publicity campaigns, encouraging viewer engagement by urging fans to help Matthew Bomer, a.k.a. Neal Caffrey, “help the FBI solve these real-life crimes!”  


In recent months, Betsy has shared valuable insights into the challenges faced by deaf and hard-of-hearing employees, aiming to inspire those dealing with similar hardships and the next generation of friends, families, and coworkers.  


In the past, she spearheaded storytelling campaigns for the life insurance industry based on personal experience losing the breadwinner when she was in high school. She has also led PR campaigns featuring Tom Hanks on the National World War II Memorial, as well as honoring a dear friend whose sister passed away from substance abuse by leading publicity efforts for The Drug Free Kids Campaign /CADCA. 


In 2019, Ragan Communications/PR Daily recognized her as a Leader in its “Top Women In Communications” Awards.  In 2020, Glick was honored with the prestigious “Joseph Wharton Award” from the Wharton Club of DC (Wharton Alumni/University of Pennsylvania).
