Our History

Kyle W. Borgman, executive chairman and group chief executive officer, founded Circletree Enterprises out of his college dorm room with a broken iPhone and a laptop that kept charge for 30 minutes at a time. He had high hopes to turn CE into an agency that helped clients drive sales on the short-term without sacrificing the consumer experience over the long-term. While he achieved that goal, the bug of innovation found its way to him.

The company was rebranded as “CE”, with Kyle W. Borgman as the executive chair and chief executive officer. Aside from the mission CE breaths, “Uphold animalistic hunger for client success and never settle.”, the goal of CE was simple; build the first horizontally unified holding company in the communications industry that emphasized speed and agility for all clients.

Horizontal unification is a unique process developed by Kyle W. Borgman that brings horizontal and unified organizational structures into one. Simply, this structure creates a unified entry point into the entire network for all clients while maintaining the ability to apply horizontal staffing for all clients working with CE. The benefit is an element that none of our competitors have; speedy and agile operations while efficiently and effectively working with the best talent across the Group.

Our team members have experience working with some of the most well-known organization across the world from OfficeMax and ExxonMobil all the way to the National Security Agency. Not to mention, our team boasts some of the best creative awards in the advertising community, including the highly coveted Cannes Lion!

CE will be a catalyst for industry and world change while investing a significant amount of resources and focus on our responsibility to apply sustainable actions, to ensure our own and our suppliers’ business conduct, to push deserving diversity and inclusion, among much more while staying fully transparent in the face of staff, clients and investors.
