About Tim Demeter

You’re telling me you built a time machine… OUT OF A DELOREAN?\"When it’s time to build something big and/or crazy call me. I helped launch a digital asset management system from the ground up at Harley-Davidson that allowed us to bring in thousands of photos daily from around the globe. I was part of a team that invented the first comic book app on the App Store. We built it using the beta software development kit and Apple actually brought us into their offices and asked “how do you think the app store should work?” True story. When Potawatomi launched their hotel they brought me in to build a media plan that took them from a local destination to a regional one. Alverno College told me they hated their website and I took them at their word. I didn’t redesign it, I burned it to the ground and rebuilt it. The resulting site earned triple the online inquiries.\"The only sensible way to live in this world is WITHOUT rules.\"Process is important. I get it. I’m glad other people write it and sometimes I even write it myself. I’ll never live by it. I am an artist at heart and swear by creative solutions. I believe that no problem can’t be solved if you think far enough outside the box. At Walthers a siloed IT department prevented me from making site updates I felt were needed. Undeterred, I created an email marketing system and database that served targeted content right to customers’ inboxes, minimizing their touchpoints with an antiquated site and increasing sales. When Potawatomi told me we couldn’t have social media due to issues with the terms and conditions I refused to accept it and wrote the businesses cases that ultimately won the day. I was so excited I even drafted the social media process policies for the entire property.\"I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal. People know me.\"I was recently referred to as “a man about town” on-air at WMSE. The DJ wasn’t wrong. I’ve been co-running the local chapter of The Drink and Draw Social Club for over 15 years. I’m part of a band that only sings songs about Dungeons and Dragons and I act as the volunteer marketing director for Milwaukee Zinefest. The point is I’m very well networked in the Milwaukee community. That came very much in handy when I was building a brand for Great Northern Distilling one account at a time. We turned them from a local concern to a state-wide name. My existing connections gave me a great start and my ability to build lasting professional relationships carried us the rest of the way.(My great reputation in the Milwaukee media scene didn’t hurt either.)
