The Birth of a Visionary
Seth Keller’s journey is one of transformation, innovation, and relentless ambition. From the world of corporate finance to the cutting edge of digital branding, his path exemplifies what happens when passion, pain, and professional experience collide. As the Co-Founder and CRO of Bump, Keller is redefining how brands and creators engage, ensuring businesses focus on what truly matters—genuine connections and impactful storytelling.
Keller’s entrepreneurial spirit wasn’t born overnight. His foundation in finance and investment banking provided him with the analytical prowess and strategic thinking that would later shape his ventures in digital marketing and Web3. But the real catalyst? The inefficiencies and struggles he saw firsthand in the influencer marketing space—barriers to entry, wasted budgets, and a lack of meaningful engagement. He saw an industry that needed a revolution, and Bump became his vehicle for change.
From Wall Street to Web3: A Journey of Reinvention
Before founding Bump, Keller spent over five years in corporate and investment banking, holding key roles at JPMorgan Chase and Santander Bank, N.A.. He specialized in developing and executing financial transactions across multiple sectors, cultivating a deep understanding of business scalability and market dynamics. His ability to foster relationships and execute complex financial deals set him apart early in his career.
But his passion extended beyond finance. Keller had a vision for the future of digital asset ownership, blockchain, and the creator economy. This led him to Web3, where he took on pivotal roles at Tokenizer, LabEight, Paradigm Sports, and LOUD Art Society*. His work spanned business development, sales, consulting, and investment strategies for innovative companies in sports, art, and agriculture.
These experiences fueled his drive to disrupt the status quo. He understood the challenges brands faced in navigating social media advertising and influencer partnerships. Bump was born from his desire to eliminate guesswork, create real engagement, and drive revenue—not just reach.
Building the Future of Social Media Marketing
Keller’s philosophy is simple: “If you help enough people get what they want, eventually you will get what you want.” This belief is at the core of Bump’s mission. Unlike traditional agencies that focus on vanity metrics, Bump is designed to create lasting relationships between brands and creators, turning social media into a powerful revenue engine.
In his recent LinkedIn post, Keller highlighted Alex Hormozi’s 3Ps Framework—Passion, Pain, and Professional Experience—as the foundation of successful ventures. He described Bump as a three-headed monster, built from:
- Pain – The struggles he and his peers faced in social media and influencer marketing.
- Passion – His unwavering dedication to building solutions for brands and creators.
- Professional Experience – The years of expertise he and his team bring to the table.
Bump has rapidly become a house of creativity, helping brands cut through the noise and form genuine, high-impact partnerships. Under Keller’s leadership, Bump is not just another social media agency—it’s a movement reshaping the industry.
Leading with Innovation and Authenticity
Keller believes in authentic storytelling and community-driven marketing. In another thought-provoking LinkedIn post, he emphasized the importance of arts marketing in the digital age, urging brands to shift their focus from mere advertising to genuine audience engagement.
“It’s more than just posting,” he wrote. “It’s about cultivating an audience. Consistent, high-quality content that educates, entertains, and tells powerful stories can build meaningful connections.”
His ability to merge storytelling with strategic business growth sets him apart. Keller isn’t just building a company—he’s redefining the way brands connect with audiences in an era of digital transformation.
