We are Two Circles. We are a Sports & Entertainment Marketing business that grows audiences and revenues by knowing fans best. We help clients understand and influence what their fans are doing—how they spend money, which events they attend, the channels they respond to, and the content they watch—so that their audiences and revenues (both consumer and business‑to‑business) grow. Our platforms and services are trusted by more than 1,000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike, and Amazon.
Our Growth Marketing team sits at the heart of Two Circles’ digital activation offering. By combining data‑driven insight, creative storytelling, and performance media execution, we help sports organisations reach, engage, and convert fans across every major digital platform. From global paid media strategies to hands‑on campaign delivery, we connect brands and rights holders with fans in ways that drive measurable commercial growth.
We are looking for a Paid Media Manager to shape and deliver digital advertising strategies across our clients. You’ll plan, activate, and optimise campaigns across multiple biddable channels—including Search, Social, Display, and Video—to help our clients connect with fans and achieve commercial growth. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in developing a modern paid media function within a data‑driven sports marketing business.
