About us

Duel is a SaaS company on a mission to make Brand Advocacy the industry standard philosophy 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. We exist to show that companies built for advocacy can change the world. In today's hyper connected world in which social media is now twice the size of all other media channels combined and entirely user-generated, the most successful brands are the ones investing in people and in community, not in ads.

The Duel Brand Advocacy Solution allows enterprise brands to do just that.

We have onboarded over 60 influential brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Charlotte Tilbury, Spanx, Victoria’s Secret, LUSH and Elemis. The Duel team's global presence includes offices in New York City & London. Our team of 60+ is composed of psychologists, brand experts and community builders, combining cutting-edge brand expertise with seasoned SaaS experience.

We raised $16 million dollars to accelerate international growth, and equip brands with the solution needed to build relationships with thousands of advocates, customers, creators and brand ambassadors.

The Dueligan Culture

We want to build a remarkable company with remarkable people and a remarkable culture that you will want to shout from the rooftops about. Advocacy is our north star, both for our customers and our employees.

A High Trust, Tight Ship, full of Utterly Lovely & Bloody Brilliant People doing their Best Work Together

We value trust and freedom above all else. Yet this must be combined with deep ownership, execution, and clear, candid communication. If this is not how you are at Duel, or you break that trust, you will not be around for long.

Dueligans combined are the largest shareholders in Duel. We take that concept of ownership seriously.

In-person and remote working balance ...

We do much of our best work as a team together in the office, which is why we are only hiring people within a commutable distance of our London or New York offices. However, we also know that we do our best work alone at home, and we all need to be able to balance work with life, childcare commitments, and other responsibilities. The office philosophy is hybrid, where you're encouraged to be in the office a few days a week, namely when your team will be there.

However, the name of the game with everything we do is freedom and flexibility. So you do, as long as it's not at the expense of others.

Duel Perks and Package

We have a growing benefits package, including;

Flexible working hours - if you need to fit around childcare or life, we understand.

25 PTO Days + 11 Statutory Holidays + End-of-year break (3-4 additional days depending on dates)

Options scheme for all full-time employees - it’s important to us that everyone shares in what we build.
