Working with the team at Backyard Ventures for the last few years has been an incredible experience. I really love cultivating long-term relationships with the people I work with because I’m a serial monogamist. Working with BV is like working with your family, in a good way. I always feel heard, and really feel that they are looking out for me and what is best for my business. I’ve worked with some incredible brands that have helped me grow my podcast and business substantially. I look forward to watching the continued growth of Backyard Ventures.

Rosie Acosta, Host, Radically Loved Podcast
We've been working with Matt and Backyard Ventures for several years. Not only do their shows perform well for our clients, the team at BV is communicative and will always go the extra mile. BV is great to work with and the entire Sonic IM team considers them a preferred partner.

Jenni Skaug President, Sonic Influencer Marketing
As a podcast company that was growing quickly, we were confident in Backyard Venture’s ability to match us with premium brands. They brought opportunities to us that we would have never been able to uncover on our own. We worked hand-in-hand with them to match our podcasts with sponsors that made sense editorially and financially. Beyond all that, we’ve enjoyed working with a team that communicates well and understands who we are.

Jonathan Beal, General Manager, Mopac Audio
We've been working with Matt and the Backyard Ventures team for over a year now and we're very happy with the results we've seen. The BV team is knowledgeable, quick to respond, and hard working. We're excited for continued success together!

Every project we’ve worked on together, Matt Cisneros and the Backyard team have gone above and beyond. They are the secret weapon for any digital creator who wants to monetize and scale their content.

Tim Livingston, creator Whistleblower, No Chill Podcast
As someone who has been packaging and producing network television programming for a very long time, it was a daunting thought to figure out how to monetize a podcast. Luckily we met the BV team and my fears have been turned into cheers.

Scott Savlov, host of The Path Here
The podcast industry trades on trust. With less transparency around downloads and value it’s imperative you work with people who want your business to succeed and want to build long term relationships. Matt and the team are those people — they are easy to work with, honest and will find ways to get the best use out of your investment. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend them is so AG can have them all to ourselves!

Jon Corne, CRO, Athletic Greens
I’ve been working with Backyard Ventures since the early days of my show. From these humble beginnings, they’ve helped me chart out the smartest possible strategies for engaging with potential advertisers, to make sure I’m getting the best possible rates while also selling the most possible slots. They’ve helped me turn my show from a hobby into a substantial business. I literally could not have one this without them!
