The Culture

The best thing about working at Backbone Media is:

The relationships we build with brands and media

When we’re not working, we’re:

Hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, camping, fishing, hunting with friends

What we’re reading:

A recent poll of staff names: The Overstory by Richard Powers, The River by Peter Heller, Post Corona by Scott Galloway, multiple SW literature titles and Eastern Body, Western Mind

What we’re listening to:

Depends on who is DJ’ing the office channel

If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:

Not sure of the name, but would be a musical, because good marketing these days is highly choreographed

Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:

Nature is all-inclusive and doesn’t discriminate

Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:

We will not be just addressing societal issues on DEI and climate but we will have made real progress and solutions.
