About us

Since 2005, Backpage Media has been helping sport cut through the noise, especially in today’s modern world where everyone is capturing content, but not everyone knows how to keep fans engaged while watching VAR checks, batting collapses and last-minute drop goals.

What started as a sports content company has evolved into a full-service sports media and commercialisation agency helping brands, rights holders, agencies and athletes grow audiences, spark conversations and deliver commercial impact.

We create, grow and monetise sports watchers through strategy, content, distribution, partnerships and audience growth.

Modern fans don’t consume sport in one place anymore. They’re watching highlights on TikTok before the replay hits TV, debating line-ups online like national selectors, and checking fantasy points during meetings.

That’s the audience we build for.
