Multi-brand outdoor media network with 300M+ annual users
Outside operates a portfolio of 25 outdoor-focused media, app, and service brands (Outside, MapMyFitness, Pinkbike, Gaia GPS, Trailforks, Yoga Journal, and others) reaching 300M+ unique users yearly. The tech stack and active projects reveal a company pivoting toward subscription and direct advertising models: heavy investment in first-party data strategy, DMP/CDP implementation, and subscriber lifecycle optimization alongside ASO and programmatic yield work. Pain points cluster around churn reduction, CLTV improvement, and data hygiene—typical signals of a media company balancing audience scale with retention economics.
