Bank of the West

Bank of the West is leading the charge toward a more sustainable future by encouraging consumers to divest away from supporting the fossil fuel industry. The topic of sustainable finance is unknown to most members of the public, and Backbone has undertaken major, integrated awareness efforts to spread the word.

Chaco

To show consumers how Chaco's products are made, the brand renovated and retrofitted a school bus to be a mobile, custom design and repair center. The “Fit for Adventure” tour traveled the country, stopping in cities and at retailers to take custom orders and repair sandals so customers could continue wearing their beloved Chacos.

Demystifying Partnership Amplification: Boosting, Dark Posting, Greenlisting, Branded Content, and Spark Ads

When it comes to the world of social media, paid partnership amplification is often a key element to extend the reach and impact of organic social media content. The ability to run paid ads from a partner’s handle lends brands additional third-party validation and gives them the opportunity to expose a net-new but highly relevant audience to the content, all while controlling the campaign objective and budget.

I’ve worked with firms large and small … coast to coast … and Backbone Media has pound for pound and dollar for dollar been the most prolific and effective. They are truly a source of strategic leverage for me and my team.
