Biography

After 16 years in the music industry, Dov Teta has embarked on a new journey to help his clients and associates maximize their exposure and reach new eyes in the entertainment world.

Dov's career in the music industry began in 1993 as an intern at Long Island's rock station WRCN 103.9. He learned the business from the ground up, driving the prize van from one remote location to another, assisting the DJs as they made promotional appearances and distributing giveaway items to enthusiastic crowds.

After receiving his degree in Business Management and Marketing, Dov landed a position in the marketing department at Mayhem Records in New York City. Dov handled tour and retail marketing for bands such as Dio, My Dying Bride, Cradle of Filth, Anathema, Nothingface and Pist*On while learning the tricks of the trade in the publicity, sales and production departments. In 1997 he was promoted to Director of Production, overseeing studio recording budgets, artwork layout, promotional materials, manufacturing, inventory control and public relations.

After the demise of Mayhem Records in 1999, Dov became assistant to the advertising sales manager at Sterling/MacFadden Magazines whose roster included, among several other music-oriented publications, the two premiere metal titles: METAL EDGE and METAL MANIACS. A short time later, with a bit of luck & timing, Dov's strong impression over his first six months led to his promotion to Director of Advertising; a position he would hold for the next nine and a half years.

From 2000 to 2009 Dov brought in over $9.5 million dollars in advertising revenue. In addition to handling all of the print and Web sales, he worked with marketing to develop branding strategies and produced CD samplers inserted into issues of Metal Edge and Metal Maniacs that generated additional revenue and helped differentiate each title from its competitors in a highly competitive niche market.

During his decade-long tenure under three separate owners, in addition to overseeing ad sales for Metal Edge and Metal Maniacs, Dov led a sales team in generating outstanding revenue from many other titles, including Gene Simmons Tongue; Right On!; Black Beat; True Story; Relix; Global Rhythm; Wrestling World, and many one-off publications.

In January of 2009 The Teta Marketing Group was launched. Dov has surrounded himself with a team of experienced and savvy industry professionals who can provide clients with the information and expertise they need to succeed in reaching their targeted audience.
