Earn $5k for making the right kind of connection.
At EightySeven, we don’t grow through volume. We grow through aligned introductions.
If you know a founder or leadership team at a pivotal moment, launching, evolving, or stepping into a new chapter, we’d love to meet them. If it becomes a project, we’ll thank you with 10% of the total engagement.
That’s often $3,000–$5,000, and sometimes more.
Why referrals matter to us.
Our best work has always started the same way. One founder talking to another entrepreneur or friend who says, “You should talk to EightySeven.”
Not because we pitch harder.
But because someone has seen or experienced an impact firsthand. Branding is deeply relational work. Reputation travels faster than marketing ever will. When you refer someone to EightySeven, you’re not just sending them to a design studio.
You’re contributing to a pivotal moment of change.
You’re giving them a shortcut to clarity, confidence, and decisive momentum.
We take that responsibility seriously.
What can a typical referral earn you?
Our EightySeven engagements fall into three sprints, based on client needs:
(87)BrandLaunch™ — $30k
(87)BrandLift™ — $60k+
(87)BrandLegacy™ — $100k+
Your referral earns 10% of the final project fee, paid after completion and final payment. That means:
$3,000 for a Launch sprint.
$6,000 for a Lift sprint.
$10,000 on a Legacy sprint.
Simple. Transparent. No chasing required.
Who do we want to work with?
We’re intentionally selective. The best referrals align with how our sprints are designed to work.
(87)BrandLaunch™ New & Early-Stage
Refer founders who:
Are launching a real company or product
Need credibility for investors, partners, or customers
Want clarity fast, not endless exploration
This is not for idea validation or side projects.
(87)BrandLift™ Growing & Evolving
Refer teams who:
Have outgrown their current brand
Feel inconsistency across visuals, messaging, or execution
Need refinement and alignment—not a full teardown
This is about elevation, not reinvention.
(87)BrandLegacy™ Established & Transforming
Refer organizations who:
Are navigating growth, change, or repositioning
Need leadership alignment and a shared direction
Are making a long-term investment in their brand
This is for meaningful transformation, not cosmetic refreshes.
What We Don’t Take On (By Design)
To protect focus and quality, we do not accept:
Logo-only or one-off design requests
Hourly or open-ended work
Pitch-based or speculative projects
Clients unwilling to invest at the sprint level
If someone needs “just a logo,” we’re not the right fit.
If they need clarity, alignment, and momentum, we are.
How to make a referral
No forms. No portals. No friction.
Spot the Moment – Think of founders or teams entering a launch, growth, or transition phase.
Make the Intro – Email an introduction to hello@madebyeightyseven.com
Copy us both and share a short note on why it feels aligned.We Take It From There – If there’s a fit, we’ll guide them through a Brand Vision Call, scope the right sprint, and move forward.
Once the project wraps and is paid in full, you receive 10% of the engagement.
A few quick details
Yes, this is real.
Payment is issued after project completion and final invoice
If a project doesn’t move forward or is not completed, no referral fee is paid
That’s it. Clear, fair, and built on trust.
