Hey there! I’m Kristin Beltaos.

Why Work With a Nonprofit Marketing Consultant in Minnesota?

Marketing communications and fractional support that bring clarity, consistency, and momentum.

If you’re looking for a nonprofit marketing consultant in Minnesota who can strengthen your messaging and support your team over time, you’re in the right place. I help nonprofits and mission-driven small businesses clarify what they want to say, align it across channels, and actually follow through—without burning out staff or chasing shiny tactics.

Whether you need steady, fractional marketing support or help untangling your communications strategy, my role is to bring structure, calm, and forward motion.

Fractional marketing support means I step in as an experienced marketing partner—providing strategic direction, coordination, and follow-through without a full-time hire.

I Understand.

You’re likely juggling more than one role, fielding competing priorities, and trying to keep your organization visible, consistent, and relevant—often without a full-time marketing lead. When you’re deciding who to trust with your communications, a few things matter most:

Vibe

Your vibe attracts your tribe, and vice versa. Fit plays a massive part in working together and is a good predictor of a fun and collaborative experience. When you read their website, have they struck a chord with your pain points and desired gains? Are they creative, savvy, and curious? Curiosity is essential as you want to find someone willing to learn as much from you, your work, and your organization as you will learn from them.

Background

Is your selected expert seasoned — or are they fresh off the launch of their inaugural website? Do they possess a wealth of positive feedback — or merely an isolated commendation from their sister’s friend’s brother’s uncle? Seek validation and trustworthiness through client praises, demonstrated client achievements, a showcased portfolio or case studies, and education in their field.

Process

So, you think you’ve found someone with a great combination of experience sprinkled with a complementary vibe? Still, before you sign a deal, it’s essential to understand and determine if you’re comfortable with how they do their work. Are they delegating to others who might be less experienced or perhaps overseas? Will they only communicate via email? Telephone conversations? Video calls or in-person meetings? Is their billing based on hourly rates, project-based fees, or retainer? How frequently will you receive status updates? A seasoned professional can clearly explain their process and work approach.

What Sets My Work Apart?

As a nonprofit marketing consultant in Minnesota, I bring nearly three decades of experience in marketing and communications and provide leadership and fractional marketing support to organizations that need experienced guidance without hiring a full-time marketing director.

Here’s what that means in practice:

  • Clarity before activity. We clarify your message, priorities, and audiences before creating more content, campaigns, or materials.

  • Senior-level thinking, embedded support. I bring seasoned judgment — then stay to execute the projects or close enough to help your team execute, refine, and stay aligned over time.

  • A steady, trusted presence. I don’t drop in with ideas and disappear. I help you build consistency across your website, email, campaigns, and core communications.

  • An approach grounded in relationships. I understand nonprofit dynamics — boards, funders, staff capacity, community trust — and I help you communicate in ways that strengthen relationships, not just visibility.

If you’re looking for organizational development, marketing planning, or marketing communications that sound like you—and the support that brings focus, follow-through, and momentum—this is the work I do.
