Who we are
Two Circles is a global sports agency, connecting fans with sport properties using data. We work with some of the world’s biggest sports organisations – including World Rugby, Premier League, Wimbledon, European Golf Tour and UEFA – and have four times been named Sport Industry Agency of the Year.
We have a team of just over 650 Two Circlers working from nine offices across the world (Bern, Kansas City, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Miami, New York, Paris, Cologne) who work cross-region to service our expanding international client base.
We work with sports rights holders, helping them build relationships with their audiences, partners and sponsors to drive business growth. And we do it by using data to help our clients better understand their fans.
