The Culture
The best thing about working at Outside PR is:
Our team. More like a family, we’re invested in each other and place value on mental health, open conversation and growth as a brand.
When we’re not working, we’re:
Doing all the things! Swim, bike, hike, run, ski, ride, stretch, breathe - we live, Outside.
What we’re reading:
Untamed, Glennon Doyle. Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, Kendi, Ibram X. ALL the magazines. Do brand workbooks count?
What we’re listening to:
How I Built This, The Daily, Wild Ideas, Outside Podcast, Brene Brown - Unlocking Us.
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
A League of Their Own.
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
Everyone is welcome there. Mother Nature should be a sanctuary, a cathedral, an escape, an place of connection, for people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds. A place we can all feel accepted, included, safe, and at home.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
We can continue to grow, inspire, motivate and support diversity, inclusivity, leadership, and equity in the outdoors, through our staff members and our clients, brands, and partners.
