“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.“

“Breuk helped me finish a dream project that was taking me years to complete. He’s added suggestions and a smart process that was completely enlightening to myself and my associates. The one-page business plan we have now has helped us get the seed money we needed to begin. Without his intelligence, guidance, and work, it would have never happened and come together so beautifully. I am so grateful to have met, began working with Breuk and now see we have a prosperous future in the industry.”

I am comfortable with his unconventional approach to getting to the heart of who I am and what my brand stands for. Sharing my vision was enjoyable—not work—and I learned along the way.” (2015)

“Breuk has been such a great asset in launching my international publication, Trend Privé Magazine a year ago. Together, we avoided a few critical mistakes I might’ve made but, not while under his direction and suggestions. Thank Goodness! I trust Breuk, not only because he`s proven to be trustworthy, but also because of the great advice and support that improved my company.
Just last summer, on a cruise, I met some people also doing a publication in Brooklyn. I told them I knew someone who did a publication in Williamsburg, called “11211”. Not only did they finish the rest of my sentence, but they also remembered his name. Then they proceeded to tell me how great it was and what Brooklyn is like today. Even though “11211” is no longer publishing, Breuk magically connected more people again.
Currently, a few members of the BinkNyc Culture team are helping my magazine, again, this time with a communications strategy, a subversive publicity campaign and we are expecting only great things. Having his support gives me a sense of security and guidance. Let’s see what happens. I’m excited!” (2013)

“I want to give a shout-out to you all about Breuk Iversen. I’ve worked with him over the last 4 ½ years and always excited about the work he does for me. He’s an “outside the box” thinker and sometimes I argue with him, but he’s usually right. He’s recently created a communications strategy for some new work I’m rolling out. Wow, was is it ever effective. We contacted 36 CEO’s for me to interview. I heard back from 10 of them. Usually one can expect a 2% return … well, I received more than a 25% return. That’s because they responded to the message Breuk told me to send.
He’s wonderful to work with, confident about his approach and really passionate about helping people make money. I am truly satisfied. In fact, I’ve referred Breuk to many people who continue to work with him.
If you want to recreate your brand, your marketing approach into something that is highly effective, I highly suggest that you contact Breuk directly. He’s filled with ideas from the moment you explain what you’re looking for.” (2011)

“Breuk,
Great News!!! This presentation was a huge hit! Wow, what a mind blower. I got 28 of the 30 people to sign up. It’s amazing and scary at the same time yet, also empowering. I now feel I can both protect myself and know more about how to market my valuable work than I ever dreamed. Deep gratitude to you for turning me on to this (Neurochemical Branding).

Case Study
City Acupuncture of NY:
The business was losing 25% each month in their 5th year. As Numerous business Studies have shown, the 1st and 5th years of business are pivotal points which determine A businesses success or failure. Mr. Benhuri indicated that he needed help. We jumped in and turned around his business quickly with some E-mails: expert copywriting and a few adjustments to the Verbiage on his website.
optimizing The homepage assures that visitors would be engaged and have what they need to make a decision and book an appointment. THERE ARE STILL CONSIDERABLE THINGS TO DO AND REVISING HIS BRAND-ID, copy (text), and images are THE NEXT STEPs for this business.
Robert Benhuri, CEO
“Back in May (2013), Breuk responded to a graphic we posted on Facebook looking for the best headline. He addressed a number of points no one else thought to mention, which was interesting. The Facebook users were prompted to come up with ‘the best headline‘. If they did, they would win a free acupuncture session ($40).
He won. It’s not fair to others, he’s a professional.
At my office, later that evening to collect his winnings, we spoke briefly and he said he could generate 3 times the amount I paid him. I’ve met with dozens of marketers and no one has offered anything like this before. I took a chance having known him since I opened up shop 5 years ago. He offered to write 5 e-mails for me.
For the first time in 5 years, City Acupuncture NY (CANY) was down 25% each month since January 2013. This percentage was compared to 2012 after Hurricane Sandy. After Breuk’s second e-mail, not only were we not down 25% but, up 15%. Perhaps it was a fluke, I thought, and it’s just clients returning after the storm.
While we worked on the next few e-mails, he suggested that he can get NEW clients to (CANY) throughout the summer. This is normally our slowest period each year.
He said he was going to use Facebook and wanted $2,500. I had my doubts and wanted a money back guarantee. He gave me that and asked for 60 days to prove it. At the end of the 60 days and when we compared the current and previous trend, he met and even surpassed my expectations (hitting over 3 times what I paid him). I now own the largest Acupuncture Community center on the east coast.
I can honestly say: ‘He’s the best Salesperson I’ve ever met and had the ill fortune to meet’. He’s funny and happens to know what he is doing. I hope to continue our relationship and can’t wait to see what he has next, up his sleeve.”

“I’ve known Breuk for 25 years and was the person responsible for getting him his first job at an advertising agency in 1992. Since then, I’ve watched him go through art school and assisted him when he opened his first design firm.
18 months ago, I became a partner and owner of Funkadelic Studio in NYC and asked him to design a number of graphic components for the business. He designed our logo, posters, business cards, website and tee-shirts over a couple of weeks. We are extremely pleased with his adeptness in incorporating these graphic components into our rehearsal and recording studio.
He also impressed upon, with our initial resistance, using social media (Facebook) into a viable tool for continual communication in our business. Today, this is now how we keep in touch with all our clients on a daily and weekly basis. This intimate communication with our client base would have been previously impossible to do and has affected our bottom line leading to the success of the business.”

“I have known Breuk for about a year now. We started out professionally. Breuk took many of my old demo video clips and wove them together into an excellent montage. He was right on target with the pieces he used and created a video that flowed.
Following that, Breuk taught this somewhat clumsy woman how to actually become more involved in Social Media. He tutored me privately on how to build my Facebook account, create notes, etc. He also began giving me tips on how to Market myself and my work more effectively.
Then, when I was ready to begin a new business initiative, I invited Breuk to become part of my Advisory Team. I’d learned that what he does goes way beyond the concrete editing, social media skills I mentioned. Breuk is a top-notch strategizer and brander. He has been such an asset to me. He can pull out my conversation and cul through my words and then reflect back to me what I truly am saying. Because of his input, I have much greater clarity and significant steps to grow this new business endeavor.
During this year, Breuk has become a friend, a trusted adviser, a teacher. He’s an important person in my life — both personally and professionally. Oh, and might I add … he has excellent negotiation and facilitative skills as well. He’s a true catalyst with our Advisory Team and well-respected by us all.“

“Breuk Iversen has been an amazing presence in my life, a true friend, honest with himself and others, and a man of his word. He has been an amazing help in offering a new perspective and course of action using non-action in challenging negotiations.
With all of Breuk’s years of study in the arts, healing arts, psychology, metaphysics, and Taoism, he has the ability to ‘hold space’ for others in an energetic healing capacity. Breuk can also read a situation, tune in and assist with the desired outcome.
Breuk would be a powerful partner in growing or transforming any business or just creating something from nothing.”

“I met Breuk Iversen about 5 months ago. He has changed my life. Firstly, I didn’t have a clue about facebook or social media. He helped put me on the map with facebook. He helped me to have a following and to be interactive on a consistent basis and to use facebook and social media as a way of connecting with others and to help promote my brand. We worked together to create a brand “i adore me “. We spent many hours developing branding linguistics of what goes into a brand. We created ideas about merging food and fashion in a whole new way. I have had so much experience and passion in both areas and he thought that it would be a great way to combine the two together. Everyone is loving the merger.
He asked me specific questions , of “why ” do I want to be in business for myself and what is it that I have that is different to offer others in getting healthy from the inside out.
He not only looks at something from a creative, marketing and advertising perspective but a from a spiritual place of how to really get where you want to go. He put together some very interesting speaking engagements for me. But the best part of all of this was that Breuk worked with me on a shoestring budget to help me launch a new brand, “i adore me” and it exceeded my expectations. He made it all so much fun and we are continuing to work on fresh and exciting new ways to promote “i adore me”. He is a very intelligent, highly creative and a caring human being who genuinely wants others to thrive in what they do and he is here to help you be the best that you can be, in promoting and marketing your business.
Highly Recommend!!!“

I am so excited about getting the word out and feel confident that I now have some Facebook tools to do it. I feel purposeful, energized and excited like a huge surge of energy, which took me by surprise. My gratitude is beyond words.”
