Revenue model

1. Category-Exclusive Partnerships: PSN sells exclusivity within service categories across the entire network. Each category is reserved for a single partner, providing direct access to named decision-makers rather than anonymous traffic. Partners receive warm, personal introductions to qualified buyers through curated introductions.
2. Executive Search Services: PSN places mid-to-senior and C-suite professionals across sport, media and entertainment organizations. They scope roles, engage active and passive candidates, and manage interviews, references and offer negotiation end-to-end.
