We have been facing the strategic challenges of the sports business for over 15 years. We know the competition and the unique characteristics of the industry.
In contrast to conventional strategic consulting, we come from the sports business and develop hands-on, individual solutions. And unlike the steadily growing number of specialist agencies, we see ourselves as a comprehensive consulting company with strategic vision.
Positioning
The essence of strategy is
choosing what not to do.
- Michael E. Porter
We offer excellent, strategic top management consulting for the sports business
Based on genuine insights gathered through many years of practical senior management experience in the national and international sports business, we strive to sustainably improve the economic efficiency of the companies and organizations we work with. The issues we deal with 100% independently encompass the full range of challenges for rights holders and advertisers.
We are convinced that an individual concept is the only way to achieve sustainable medium- and long-term economic success and provide added value for both rights holders and sponsors.
Our solutions are always customer-oriented. Our approach is driven by a unique combination of fact-based analysis and our spirit of sportsmanship, fueled by experience and emotion.
