About the Backcountry Marketing Podcast

As a marketer in the outdoor industry, the odds are stacked against you. Does this sound familiar? “You’re part of a small, talented, yet overworked team with a limited budget facing hundreds of ways to grow your brand and stand out in a sea of sameness. Some days you feel like quitting and getting a corporate job that pays more but then you realize, I get to work in an industry that some people only dream of working in. Sure the challenges are real, but this is better than a cubicle right?”

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Consider this podcast your guidebook to navigating the ever-changing world of marketing. This podcast is produced by Port Side Productions, a video production company that works with outdoor + athletic brands to help them stand out, launch products, build brand equity, and grow their business. Why would a video production company start a marketing podcast? Because we believe that great marketing is great storytelling. Stories come in all shapes and sizes and at the end of the day marketing is all about communication. People talking to people. People tell stories. People are emotionally driven individuals. Our job is to help bridge the gap between your brand and your people.

Your Guidebook to Producing Creative Work that Actually Delivers

In 2020, Port Side launched this podcast to address a challenge we were facing ourselves: understanding how to make video content that was not only creative but truly effective.

What started as a search for answers has taken us on a journey of 200+ episodes, exploring every facet of the outdoor marketing world.

Our goal is to take you behind-the-scenes with experts from the active/outdoor industry as they share insights about producing creative work that delivers. If you’re seeking insights from some of the sharpest minds in the business, you’ve come to the right place.
