As Marketing Manager for UpWind, Hunt managed all facets of the marketing department, including strategy, branding, and inbound marketing efforts, and helped position the company as an industry leader. In his first two years with UpWind, Hunt helped grow the number of engaged, qualified leads by 600 percent.

"I'm excited to be moving from an in-house marketing position to working with and helping multiple clients succeed through inbound marketing strategies," says Hunt. "I'm a believer of the inbound methodology and wanted to work for an organization that shares the same core values as mine. I've always had a lot of respect for SmartBug and its team members, which I'm proud to now be a part of."
Hunt holds a bachelor's of arts degree in international business and development from Whittier College. He refers to himself as a "craft beer evangelist with an insatiable travel bug" and has visited a brewery in more than 30 countries. Born and raised in San Diego, Hunt calls Mexico his second home and spends much of his free time exploring the food/drink culture south of the border.
