Meet Seth Erickson. Seth's personality, and particular brand of humor, are the kind that draws people to him. He’s a quick thinker with the ability to distill complex ideas into easy-to-understand information, and he’s not afraid to work hard and apply tenacity when needed. Sometimes Seth uses these traits for good, sometimes to go after world domination, but one thing is true above all else. Seth is a born storyteller. At the tender age of four, Seth was baffling his pre-school teacher with his vivid imagination. While many kids were naming shapes, Seth told stories with added plot points, built worlds, and introduced characters. This verve for storytelling grew, as Seth did… which is to say, quite large. Seth is many things; a BBQ enthusiast, a taco aficionado who can and will make tacos out of anything, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and a scuba diver. He spent his early years as an illustrator, web designer, DJ, music producer, and recently became an author. However, perhaps most notable is the career Seth has built by merging aspects rarely found together: business, creativity, and wit. Seth uses storytelling as a way of helping businesses, specifically startups. Stats say 90% of start-ups fail. Seth’s vision is to reduce that disheartening number by at least 10%. He recognizes many Startups excel at building their tech and ideas but fall short when communicating their value to the world. Enter Seth, who teaches these budding business owners one of the most effective communication methods. An art form that has been a part of humanity for as long as… well… humans—storytelling. Seth believes these entrepreneurs will find proving their value to investors and the marketplace easier with the techniques he teaches. He has seen firsthand how incorporating storytelling can make a presentation and product stand out and become memorable to investors and customers alike. So, if you’re searching for a six feet eight-inch, globe-trotting branding agency owner with a sense of humor to aid in your startup endeavors, look no further than Seth Erickson.
