Prior to that, she worked in healthcare, education and outdoor industry marketing. At Backbone she leads the agency’s Eddie Bauer and YETI Coolers account teams. Carter is a graduate of Columbia University, where she was a varsity track and field athlete and earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in English and Comparative Literature.
Also new to Backbone is Doug Stuart (pictured right), who joins the team following a stint as an account manager at Washington, D.C.-based Keybridge Communications, a public relations and public affairs agency. Stuart is an alumnus of Princeton University, a National Outdoor Leadership School graduate and an avid outdoorsman. At Backbone, Stuart works with Smartwool and YETI coolers in the agency’s Denver office.
