The Colorado Yurt Company has retained Backbone Media to manage its public relations efforts. Based in Montrose, Colo., The Colorado Yurt Company, formerly known as Advance Canvas Design, was founded in Colorado in 1977 by Dan and Emma Kigar. Since its modest beginnings as a cottage industry company, the Kigars have turned The Colorado Yurt Company into the industry pioneer in shelters and dwellings.

“We're really pleased to hook-up with Backbone,” said Colorado Yurt's founder Dan Kigar. “They're so good at helping us convey our message of quality and dependability. And they really know how to roll-up their sleeves and get to work; that's something we have in common.”

“The Colorado Yurt Company is a leader in the outdoor temporary structure industry and we're thrilled to be working with them,” said Backbone partner Penn Newhard. “They offer an unrivaled level of knowledge in their industry and are one of the best brands nationally in this emerging marketplace. From a joint perspective, this is a great opportunity for Backbone and The Colorado Yurt Company.”
