About Us

We are Two Circles. We are a Sports & Entertainment Marketing business. We grow audiences and revenues by knowing fans best. We work with clients to help them understand and influence what their fans are doing – how fans spend money, which events they attend, and how they respond to channels and content. This understanding helps our clients grow their audiences and revenues – both direct‑to‑consumer and business‑to‑business. Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1,000 clients worldwide, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon. We are a global team of over 1,000 people based in 15 offices, delivering work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes.
