About
We’re on a mission to connect the best content creators with premier brands.
Backyard Ventures is an Austin, Texas based media company that was launched in 2019 as a premium partnerships business. We began with two podcasts and now represent more than 150 content creators across podcasts, YouTube, newsletters, and social media influencers.
We aim to create 360 degree opportunities for all of our clients across their channels as often as possible. As of August 2024, our client roster has a reach of more than 25M downloads per month, 600M YouTube views per month, 8M email newsletter subscribers, and over 40M social media followers. We’ve helped some of our brand partners achieve more than 500% return on investment by placing the right ads on the right media.
