A post-millennial with an old soul, born and raised in Chicago, with media experience beyond his years, an infectious smile and fresh personality that jumps off the screen and into the heart of every viewer; Timothy Bach is a true innovator. Having over 9 years in web and social media development experience, 4 years’ in on-camera host/production work, as well as an additional two years as a print columnist, Bach is truly one of a kind! Having worked as the spokesperson for several national organizations such as the University of Illinois at Chicago, B.O.S.S., and other nonprofit organizations.
Media mogul and social icon! Tim has an unparalleled understanding of how to maximize the use of the top social networks. Beginning his journey as a YouTube tech commentator in 2009, Tim grew an impressive online following when he was only 12; building on that experience since, growing other successful online followings for both himself and countless clients. One of which being, Savvage News, a celebrity news YouTube channel and website that average 2,500+ unique visitors a day in under two months; which he personally founded in May 2017. This has given him an in-depth working knowledge of all things celebrity and internet culture. Combining his TV production and social engagement skills, Bach founded the content management and consulting firm, The Creator Factory, as a way to utilize his expertise; assisting social media creators and businesses of all sizes in the development, creation, distribution, and management of online content strategies.
An award-winning orator and documentary film host, having an in-depth understanding of policy, criminology, law, and justice; along with advanced environmental science research experience; Tim can address Kanye’s latest mess while in the next sentence breaking down the most recent supreme court ruling. He brings a unique, well-constructed, and unapologetic assessment of every conversation. Deconstructing even the most complicated issues in a fun and uplifting way; looking beyond the surface, pushing away differences to find commonalities every viewer can relate to, challenging the audience to think for themselves with a focus on starting a conversation.
“Tim just gets it. He is one of the hardest working, kindest, most positive people I’ve ever met. He has really inspired me.”
-Danielle Robay
A wiz on the web but roles with the punches! Tim knows how to write and produce for television, but also know how to structure a segment to do well in the re-upload. Having completed several online campaigns both for his own personal media sites along with freelance clients, Bach has a proven record of ranking online content; getting videos in front of the intended audience. Many times producing projects to work both online and during live events. Many of his projects had low budgets and were shot either tape to live or in a run and gun style, most of which he acted as both talent and other hats; remaining professional and completing the project as promised to the client even under the least desirable of circumstances. Tim stays incredibly cool under pressure and has a solid understanding of the taped and live production process, so he is able to correctly adjust to changes and can quickly take charge of a runaway segment.
Young but an impressive professional network. It’s true that Tim does not have a significant number of old media celebrity connections yet, but in other areas, his web of contacts is quite expansive. Because of the large number of freelance and special project work he has done through his content management and consulting company, Bach has curated a long list of on-camera experienced contributors; many of whom are internationally recognized as Chicago’s foremost experts in their fields. From local nonprofits to small businesses, to academic experts in policy, history, and the physical/social sciences; Tim has one of the most impressive professional networks, surpassing even those of much more established talent.
A world changer. Throughout high school, Bach participated in high-level debate competitions where he discovered and found his love for analytical thinking. As time progressed, a highly polarizing political arena surfaced and he saw a world full of corner cutting news sites who’s goal was to either gain views or push their own agenda. Tim was even more disheartened to see the public falling for these different political pandering. All the while, he continued to have a love for celebrity culture and enjoyed following the latest celeb news stories! Initially founding his social sites as a way for his audience to get away from the craziness that was our world but over time discovered that he could use his influence to make a positive impact. By combining his love for celebrity culture with his award-winning analytical thinking skills, Bach found that he could help his viewers think differently; by teaching them to rethink how they think. While he may not be redesigning the wheel, Tim strives to help his audience more easily navigate these difficult times; encouraging fans to ‘keep smiling’.
“No matter how your day is going, remember to be true to yourself! Stay you, stay beautiful, be productive and work to accomplish your goals. Most of all, keep your smile side up!”
