Jamie Betesh
A native New Yorker, Jamie Betesh was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She began her career as an intern in the editorial department at Disney's FamilyFun magazine. After earning a B.A. in journalism from University of Massachusetts Amherst, Jamie served in the ad sales marketing group at the Hallmark Channel before moving to promotions marketing at the Cartoon Network.
Quickly mastering all things kids, Jamie handled the network's partner promotions with such major corporations as Hasbro, Kraft, and Johnson & Johnson.

As a brand strategist, Jamie has contributed recently to branding and marketing projects for the Case Foundation, Public Citizen, PENCIL, The Gould Foundation, Co-op America, and Baruch College.
When she's not writing creative briefs, Jamie teaches weekly tap-dance classes at a nonprofit dance studio for girls in Harlem and volunteers for the American Friends of Magen David Adom and UJA-Federation of New York.
