About p² advisory

Two Perspectives. One Shared Standard.

In 2026, Viktor Niedermayr and Melanie Widhalm joined forces and founded p² advisory. Together they combine their experience from politics, business, law and communications into an advisory approach that connects different perspectives.

Founded 2026

The Foundation

p² advisory was founded in 2026 from the conviction that today's complex challenges require an integrated advisory approach.

The boundaries between politics and communication are increasingly blurring. Companies need partners who master both disciplines and can seamlessly bring them together.

With Viktor Niedermayr and Melanie Widhalm, p² advisory brings together different professional perspectives and many years of experience from politics, business, law and communications.
