Branding with Grit, Soul & Story

Welcome to The Ethan-Hunter Collective, where branding is more than just a business move—it’s a craft, a calling, a way to carve your name into the world with authenticity and purpose. I don’t do fluff. I don’t do gimmicks. What I do is help small businesses—especially in wine and hospitality—shape identities that are as bold and timeless as the landscapes they call home.

With 15 years in the industry, including leading branding efforts at Flowers Vineyard & Winery, I’ve spent my career honing the art of storytelling—through photography, words, and strategy—helping brands find their true voice and make it resonate.

Stories Worth Telling

A great brand doesn’t just sell—it lives, breathes, and lingers. It’s the way your space feels when someone steps inside. The way your wine tastes at golden hour. The way your story unfolds in the minds of those who experience it. I work with businesses that give a damn about what they’re creating, and I help them share that passion through honest visuals, compelling words, and thoughtful strategy.

Whether it’s a one-man mission or a collective effort, I bring the right people into the fold when needed—designers, writers, creators—folks who, like me, believe in quality over quantity, craft over convenience, and truth over trends.

Built for the Long Haul

I know the hustle. The long nights, the early mornings, the relentless pursuit of something real. That’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all branding—because real businesses, the ones built with heart, don’t fit into tidy little boxes. Whether you’re looking to refine your voice, capture your essence through visuals, or create a brand that stands the test of time, I’m here to help on your terms.
