One operation. Two ways in.

Branded Mayhem Collective LLC is the parent operation behind two businesses: 8gnc, a brand and digital strategy agency, and br8n, an AI-delivery practice. Products sit under 8gnc rather than operating as a third brand.

Choose 8gnc if you need brand strategy, a website, identity, or ongoing Brand Ops. Choose br8n if you need to map working intelligence or install AI capability into your team. If you are unsure, start with Brand Therapy for a brand problem or a Working Intelligence Audit for an operations problem.

8gnc is a brand and digital strategy agency offering six capabilities: brand strategy, identity and design, website design and development, content, activation and growth, and community. Every engagement runs in three phases — strategy first (Brand Therapy), then build, then ongoing Brand Ops. Strategy is never skipped.

Brand Therapy is a free 30-minute diagnostic session with 8gnc. It surfaces what is working and what is broken across your brand, site, and positioning — without a pitch. It is the starting point for every 8gnc engagement and is available at 8gnc.io.

br8n installs AI delivery capability inside companies. That means scoping which workflows AI can take over, selecting and configuring the right tools, training the team to operate them, and leaving the org owning its own AI capacity rather than outsourced to a vendor. It is consultant-installed, operator-owned.

Both. 8gnc serves founder-direct SMBs — typically under a 90-day decision window — who want brand strategy and digital presence built right. br8n skews enterprise, working with organizations that are large enough to need AI capability installed across teams. A number of operators use both arms at different stages.

Products is 8gnc's set of direct-use Claude Code plugins for brand strategy, product strategy, content, SEO/AEO, conversion, and sales. They are available under the agency, alongside a free MIT-licensed Humanize Kit.

Start with the diagnosis. Choose Brand Therapy when the problem is your brand, site, or positioning. Choose a Working Intelligence Audit when the problem is how knowledge and repeatable work move through your operation.

Branded Mayhem Collective is founder-led by Michael Sebastian, based in Richardson, Texas. Every engagement is senior-led — no junior handoff.
