Mission
Statement
pentaship was founded with the aim of making the consulting and sponsorship market more innovative and liquid through improved communication, faster transactions and price transparency.
The framework conditions have changed fundamentally:
+ Attention is fleeting - relevance counts.
+ Brands are looking for real stories instead of mere logo presence.
+ Institutions need funding without jeopardizing their values.
+ Artificial intelligence automates many things - but relevance, attitude and
impact remain human tasks.
pentaship sees this change as an opportunity.
Our approach
We develop strategic alliances that have a social, communicative and economic impact. In doing so, we rely on:
+ Human expertise
+ Intelligent technology
+ A flexible, scalable and visionary network of specialists.
