Outside Interactive posts first profit with $125M revenue, shifts from ads to subscriptions

Outside Interactive, formerly Outside Media, reported its first profit in 2024 after five years of transformation under CEO Robin Thurston. The company generated $125 million in revenue, up 23% year-over-year. Since Thurston raised $150 million in February 2021, Outside has fundamentally restructured its business model. Digital subscriptions and recurring services now account for 60% of revenue, whilst digital advertising has shrunk to 40%, reversing the 70% advertising dependence of 2021. The company has acquired numerous businesses beyond traditional publishing, including fitness apps like MapMyFitness, mapping services like Trailforks, booking platform Inntopia, and photography platform FinisherPix. Thurston emphasises Outside Interactive is no longer a media company, having reoriented around these digital services whilst maintaining legacy outdoor titles including Ski, Backpacker and Yoga Journal.
