Ethan is a brand strategist and marketing expert who has spent 20 years doing award-winning brand strategy, advertising, and market research for some of the world’s biggest brands.

Ethan’s first life was studying urban ecology. He earned a PhD at the University of New Mexico under a National Science Foundation grant for complexity theory in biology. He studied human evolution and urban metabolism, and he used computational models to explore patterns of urbanization. His papers continue to be cited today. Only his friends call him Doctor Decker. And only in jest. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
