Monkfish

What Monkfish does

Monkfish ApS is a Copenhagen-based full-service event agency founded in 2007 by Rikke Salling. The firm plans, designs, and executes corporate events, conferences, galas, anniversaries, and team gatherings for enterprise clients across Denmark and internationally. Its offering is organized around six integrated service pillars — Concept & Design, Spaces & Settings, People & Partnerships, Management & Production, Technical Solutions, and Content & Storytelling — delivered as bespoke, project-by-project engagements rather than modular software products. Named clients include The Lundbeck Foundation, McKinsey & Company, Deloitte, Boston Consulting Group, Bestseller, Copenhagen Airport, Kromann Reumert, Matas, Waterland, Altor, and Netcompany.

The company operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based, project-by-project pricing and no disclosed recurring or subscription revenue. Distribution is entirely direct via consultative enterprise sales ([email protected]), with marketing centered on a detailed project portfolio on its website and organic social presence on LinkedIn and Instagram. With approximately 17 named team members, Monkfish is positioned as a boutique agency competing on creative concept development, end-to-end production management, and sustainability credentials — it is the first event agency in Denmark certified by the Green Tourism Organization and a member of the Green Producers Club.

Monkfish is an independent, founder-owned private limited company (ApS) domiciled in Denmark with no external investors, parent entities, or disclosed funding. It has no software product, no API, and no technology platform; the operating capability of the business is its human creative and production capacity. Geographic reach spans at least seven European countries based on documented event delivery, and the firm received the Danish Gazelle growth company award in 2025.
