About AB80

Senior advice, without the overhead.

AB80 was built for organisations that need clear, commercially literate support rather than a long, expensive consultancy process.

We believe the best advisory work is direct, informed and grounded in how rights, content, distribution and value really move through the market.

That means sharper thinking, better judgement and work that helps clients move faster and with more confidence.

Founder-led. Discreet. Practical. Built to be useful in live commercial situations where clarity matters more than theatre.
