At Backbone we are constantly being challenged by a rapidly evolving media landscape. The industry’s ever-changing nature invites us to collaborate, take risks and bring on new talent in order to stay ahead of the game and bring fresh ideas to our clients. We are fortunate to work with and to find partners that push us to evolve, innovate and ideate on their behalf. With that, we are pleased to introduce these new, brand partnerships in public relations and media planning. The first thing they will do is trying to figure out how you buy youtube views.

Voke Tab A Montana based start-up, these natural, energy tabs have gathered a cult following among top alpinists like Conrad Anker and Kit DesLauriers. Voke’s founder, Kalen Caughey, grew up ski racing, but found that bringing coffee on the chairlift for early morning practice was messy and inconvenient. He worked with his dad, a biochemist, to come up with a combination of natural ingredients (guarana berry, acerola cherry, and green tea leaf caffeine) that would deliver a smooth boost of energy in a portable way. At $7 a tin, Voke is a cost effective way to get an energy boost on-the-go.
