About Us

Duel is a SaaS company on a mission to make Brand Advocacy the industry standard playbook for building brilliant retail brands. It was founded by world record breaking adventurer and former brand ambassador Paul Archer, alongside viral games developer Naio Tsarouchis, and we exist to show there’s a better way to build businesses, to build a better future, proving that caring for people builds brand, which builds long term and exponential profit returns.

The Duel Brand Advocacy Platform allows enterprise brands to do just that, scaling how they manage their relationships with thousands of advocates, customers, creators and brand ambassadors. We’re proud today that brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Charlotte Tilbury, Spanx, Victoria’s Secret and Elemis (to name a few, but not to name some household names that we can’t talk about yet) are doing just that. The Duel team comprises psychologists, brand experts and community builders, combining cutting edge brand expertise, with seasoned SaaS experience.

The Role

At Duel, we don’t just build, we build once and scale everywhere. Whether it’s a relationship, a piece of content, an idea, or a framework, we create with purpose to maximise impact.

We’re looking for a Content Manager to own the creation and distribution of founder brand content, helping to firmly establish Duel’s founder, Paul Archer, as the builder and epicentre of the Brand Advocacy Category. Reporting to and working closely with the Head of Brand Marketing and the CEO/Founder, you’ll build, scale and distribute thought leadership content to amplify Duel’s brand to attract, engage and inspire marketing leaders at the world’s best DTC brands, as well as influencers and the wider industry.

We need a cutting-edge content producer - as comfortable with producing podcasts and BTS videos as they are with PR and B2B social, with content distribution skills that guarantee the right people see it and share it. Someone who knows what it takes to turn transformative ideas into must-view moments. Duel’s success depends on creating awareness and excitement about Brand Advocacy among our ICP brands, and delivering ideas and inspiration that empower them to act.

We’re Looking For Someone Who Will…
