Beattie got her start in the MIS department for Atlantic Records, troubleshooting computer problems for the one of the few corporate environments that encouraged blue hair and nose piercings. 

From there her focus was marketing at The Developmental Studies Center, CamelBak Inc., Mattel Interactive and Seagate, where she worked with executives and remote programmers to implement site redesigns, drive e-mail campaigns, and increase engagement with customers through online initiatives.

Now her passion is social media strategies, SEO content development, and creating effective marketing in tandem with product development. While social media promises immediate results, the reality is that it requires authentic relationship building to get visibility above the fray.  Beattie brings her creative experitise early in the product development process so the launch can take full advantage of new and developing social network opportunities.
