What started as two best friends playing rugby together has become a family of gay sports media brands, including Compete Magazine, Compete Radio, the Compete Events (over 60 sponsored and/or hosted events each year) and CompeteNetwork.com. Competes core audience is a very targeted marketaffluent readers and listeners with high disposable incomes and brand loyalty to Compete (see demographics on the last page).
