about
We capture content in wild places.
Outsiders was built to create opportunities for athletes, creatives, and the communities we visit — and to provide a new space for brands to authentically connect.
We work with world-class talent across snow, alpine, ocean, remote wilderness, and action sport. Crew built from — and for — the mountains, trails, lakes, and oceans.
Led by sports media veteran Michelle Bates (LinkedIn).

mission
To build an ecosystem that brings outdoor brands, tourism partners, athletes, filmmakers, photographers, and storytellers together — creating work that inspires adventure and gets people outside. We connect brands, destinations, and talent who live for adventure, building opportunities to create, share, and elevate.
Through our Elevation Fund, we reinvest 1% of annual revenue into the next generation of outdoor storytellers and athletes — offering support, visibility, and opportunities for emerging talent across the industry.
