Beth Dunn’s Summary

An experienced professional in marketing, brand management, and communications, I work to build community among cultural institutions, their members, donors, and peer organizations. I help artists, museums, theaters, and other organizations leverage technology to advance their missions through the strategic use of social media and online brand management.

I have extensive experience as a public speaker and workshop presenter, and have designed and presented regional conferences and speaker series covering social media and web 2.0 for the arts.

As a writer and editor I have produced weekly e-newsletters, white papers, communications plans, marketing print collateral, and extensive website copy. I have managed the design, creation, and launch of several major arts and culture websites. I have also edited a number of published novels and scientific journal articles for non-native English speakers.
