Octagon

Founded in 1983, we are a global agency working across sports, entertainment, and culture. We specialize in creative marketing, sponsorship consulting, and representing athletes and other personalities. We work with hundreds of corporate clients and over 1,000 athletes, managing more than 10,000 events each year. Our approach focuses on understanding fan passions to create effective marketing programs.

We plan and run experiential marketing for both B2B and B2C audiences, including culinary tastings, cultural events, and various sponsorships like golf and endurance running. We also provide hospitality services for major events, such as the FIFA World Cup. Our project management services for campaigns include creating documents, coordinating milestones, managing budgets, and tracking financial performance. We have offices in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.

We believe our work should have a lasting impact. Our core values—authenticity, diversity, credibility, and creativity—are all connected. We are committed to innovation, welcome varied perspectives, and continuously seek to improve. As a global agency, we share cultural values, work methods, and a unified vision worldwide.

We aim to inspire our teammates and help them succeed by creating the best conditions for individual growth. Our commitment to inclusivity means we hire, celebrate, develop, and retain a diverse team that reflects our global clients, talent, and employees. We treat our people with respect, celebrate individual differences, and ensure everyone feels valued and can contribute.

We have a global team of 800 to over 1,000 people, from experienced professionals to new talent. Many of us are passionate about sports and culture. Our work environment is fast-paced, focusing on collaboration, creativity, and client service.

Our culture promotes diversity and encourages different perspectives, which we believe leads to better understanding. We support our team members by investing in their growth through internal mobility, mentorships, learning, and career development. We encourage balancing hard work with a sense of humor to ensure everyone’s well-being.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package. We typically work a hybrid schedule, with three days in the office at one of our many locations, and we have an unlimited PTO policy.

Our financial benefits include competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA/HSA and Dependent Care FSA options. We also offer access to a 401K program with a company match through our parent company (IPG) and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

For families, we have a 12-week Family and Parental Leave Policy, available to all parents regardless of gender or caregiver status, and a Parent Travel Program. For wellness, we provide dedicated mental health resources, including a Headspace membership and an Employee Assistance Program.

Other perks include pet insurance, pretax transportation/commuter benefits, a discount portal for goods and services, Employee Resource Groups, inclusive diversity programming, and personal development programs.
