Strategic Thinking, Practical Results

In 2021, founder Atahan Kangal saw brands struggling with agencies that moved too slowly and charged too much. He built Fifth Shelf to work differently—providing capital upfront and handling operations directly. Today, Fifth Shelf works with established brands and growing companies.
