Erin Hunt is founder and principal of Erin Hunt Communications, a new affiliate partner with Noise 13 Branding & Design. Erin launched her PR venture dedicated to consumer lifestyle brands and services in early 2006 after shifting back to her west coast origins and completing some needed "harvest time" in Sonoma County. After over an intense decade on the east coast and years overseas working with food, beverage and consumer lifestyle clients in the agency world, she couldn't think of a better way to transition from Fifth Avenue, New York City, back to the left coast than to throw herself -- boots-first -- into something she loved: wine! After completing a four-month cellar sabbatical with Michel-Schlumberger in Dry Creek Valley, she started her own PR venture dedicated to the "good things in life" - good food, good wine and spirits, great lifestyle products and services - with a keen eye toward the artisanal, handcrafted, and sustainable.
Someone who cares about food, health/wellness, and sustainability issues, Erin has dedicated volunteer and leadership time supporting initiatives of Slow Food, Chefs Collaborative, the American Heart Association, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Share Our Strength, to name a few. In an effort to walk (or run!) the talk, she completed her first triathlon in 2008 - and is still debating whether a second is ever in her future.
