Matthew Cisneros spends his days thinking about two things: media and migas. As co-owner of Cisco’s Restaurant and Bakery, one of Austin’s most iconic Tex-Mex restaurants, and founder of Backyard Ventures, a growing media and influencer marketing agency, Cisneros bridges the worlds of legacy brands and digital startups.

In this episode of the Changing Austin Podcast by Amplify Credit Union, Chief Experience Officer Stacy Armijo sits down with Cisneros to explore how these two beloved Austin institutions reflect the city’s evolving business landscape. From preserving a 75-year-old Austin restaurant tradition to innovating in influencer partnerships and local media, Cisneros shares how Austin’s past and present remain deeply connected.
