---

Bill Klump serves as Chief Development Officer for GTB Studios, leading all investor relations, funding strategy, and philanthropic partnerships for the studio’s growing slate of mission-driven films and media projects.

A seasoned veteran in media production and fundraising, Bill has spent over two decades at the intersection of broadcast storytelling and capital development. He’s the man behind the curtain raising the necessary funds and working with underwriters to bring award-winning content to life across networks like CNN, Public Television, Discovery Channel, and Fox News.

Throughout his career, Bill has guided producers, brand partners, and investors through the delicate dance of vision and viability, helping fund and distribute content that both resonates and returns. He has worked with a diverse range of clients, from Fortune 500 leaders like Ford, Johnson & Johnson, G.E., Alcon Labs, and Dollar Rental Car to cutting-edge startups pushing the boundaries of innovation.

Prior to joining GTB Studios, Bill co-founded the influential tech-blog Daily Disruption, which earned syndication on Google News and other major media platforms. He was also the co-founder of Big Ad Group, where he played a key role in helping Google launch its Ad Creation Marketplace, a pioneering initiative at the time. Earlier in his career, he worked with MediaOne, where he trained sales teams on presenting the ESPN family of networks, and later served as a consultant for ESPN Radio.

At GTB Studios, Bill is more than just the numbers guy, he’s the connector, the strategist, and the champion of the studio’s mission to create bold, redemptive, culture-shaping content. From documentary funding campaigns to feature film investment strategies, Bill ensures that every project is built on a strong foundation of financial sustainability and aligned partnerships.

Bill recently relocated to GTB's home base in Florida from Franklin, Tennessee with his wife and enjoys the recent promotion to “Grandpa” - a title he wears with pride. He is the proud father of three grown children and remains passionate about storytelling, innovation, and building meaningful things that last.
