We are 'Producers' who focus on creating strategies that produce great RESULTS. This is the single, most important, differentiating factor from other Advertisers, Branders, Marketers, and the like.We only work with companies and brands that
a) DO NOT harm others with their services and products and
b) expect to see a return on their investment. -
8grape was created during the 2020 Pandemic by a collective of multi-disciplinary Producers. We sought to help NYC companies to recover and grow after the lockdowns and loss o business.
The combination of Producers* continue to create campaigns which consistently generate three to four times (3-4x) a Return on Investment (ROI).
Simply put, we are the Producers who use a tested and vetted combination of advanced advertising, branding, communications, and design strategies to achieve results for our Patrons.

Good work, Breuk!”* Founder of FASHIONBOSS *

“I had very little knowledge of branding and advertising. I have a far deeper understanding of the emotional and subconscious components as to how it is applied to marketing and its affects on a target audience. The presentation, for me, was the complete package.
Thank you Breuk!” -

and results we got for them.
Over 3 decades.
M E N T O R
MadMan: Dick Raboy was a legendary
financial copywriter, adman,
a friend and a mentor
from 1996 - 2004.
Over 3 decades.
“Breuk Iversen is the most enterprising, entrepreneurial young man I have ever met in my 43 year career in advertising.
His training says he is a designer like a million other designers, some better than he, some not as good. But his mind says he is a one-of-a-kind dynamo — an ever flowing font of new ideas.
Not all his ideas result in successful businesses. But enough of them do to keep his life ever interesting, ever challenging, ever fun.
And his boundless energy keeps the work coming out on call.
Even the name of his design firm when I first met him in the office suite across the hall from mine — Disciplined Beauty — speaks to his uniqueness.
After a lifetime in the business, Breuk redesigned my resume and it is a beauty I’m proud to have represent and introduce me to prospects.
I hope this letter helps to persuade you to employ Breuk at any cost. You’ll be better for it.“
— Dick Raboy (2003)

Business as usual
The Process happens through a well-thought out, time-tested FORMULA. This Process took 25 years to develop.
Here’s how the FORMULA works:
Firstly, we do a 4-6 hour Observation Lab to better understand a Patron’s business. Secondly, we rate the business in 4 Departments:
1. Branding,
2. Design,
3. Communications,
4. Advertising.Each Department is then rated on a scale of 1-25 (25 x 4 (Departments) = 100 points).
Then, the FORMULA tells us what we’ll need to do 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Then, we propose a dollar amount and get into the actual work of creating a campaign and executing its development.
There is a full-day intensive workshop which includes a questionnaire (Query), an observation lab, and doing a deep-dive in each of the 4 departments in the FORMULA.
This Workshop assures clearer communications and a far deeper understanding of the techniques we use for the Patron and our team.
FAIR WARNING: We use counterintuitive methods which Produce very remarkable (3x) results.
This full-day intensive Workshop is called ‘Advertising & Branding on Steroids and Crack.’
