Our Story
Purpose-Driven PR Founders
18+ years
Combined experience
We're Manon and Laura, the PR duo behind Two is a Crowd.
Since 2016, we've worked exclusively with brands, foundations and NGOs whose business model is the mission: ethical and circular fashion, fair trade, sustainable mobility, conscious lifestyle, and the foundations and social enterprises working on social and environmental change.
Over the last 10+ years and 90+ clients, we've learned that the brands doing the most meaningful work are rarely the loudest, they just haven't had the right storyteller yet. That's us.
The Beginning
Our story.
"But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party."
10 years ago, I (Manon) woke up with this famous Andy Warhol quote and thought I'd call my new company Two is a Crowd. Since the start in 2016 I have focussed on working solely for brands and non-profits cool enough to care about people and planet.
I sailed the rough waters of entrepreneurship all by myself the first 5 years until I realized I needed a co-captain to run Two is a Crowd with. Enter Laura. Together we are two, reaching a large crowd with our clients' stories. And so after all these years the name Two is a Crowd finally makes a lot of sense.
So let's formally introduce ourselves: we are Manon and Laura, the faces and brains behind Two is a Crowd. We are dedicated to spotlighting purpose-driven brands and non-profits through various impactful avenues, including PR, influencer marketing and press events.
