Integrated marketing agency for active lifestyle brands
Backbone Media is an integrated marketing agency operating across PR, paid social, search, influencer, affiliate, and retail marketing. The tech stack is lean—Meta, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, Google Analytics, The Trade Desk, and generative AI—reflecting a media-buying and campaign-execution focus rather than proprietary tooling. Active projects span paid social, linear/CTV/streaming audio campaigns, and test-and-learn initiatives, alongside internal operations work (timekeeping, bill routing, performance reviews), suggesting growth friction between creative delivery and backend scalability. Hiring is accelerating across marketing, SEO, finance, and HR, signaling both campaign expansion and organizational maturity challenges.
