At 8 Rue Growth Division, we partner with emerging, growth-stage, and pre-exit brands to align business strategy with investor-grade brand positioning. By focusing on intrinsic value, we ensure your brand not only connects with customers but also resonates with investors and acquirers.

Growth Division

Translating Intrinsic Value into Market Brand Value

We specialize in the health, fitness, and lifestyle sectors, where brands must adapt quickly, differentiate strongly, and demonstrate market potential to thrive.

How We Work

We sit at the intersection of brand strategy, investment logic, and market creativity — a rare combination that allows us to partner equally well with investors seeking measurable ROI and agencies seeking trusted collaborators.

Who We Serve

Investors & Private Equity

We work across the investment lifecycle to unlock hidden brand equity and align portfolio companies with growth and exit strategies. By building investor-grade brand positioning, we help assets command stronger multiples at sale.

Entrepreneurs & Founders

We partner directly with the entrepreneurs who create and grow the businesses at the heart of these industries. For emerging and growth-stage companies, we help clarify positioning, sharpen differentiation, and define brand architecture so their story resonates with both customers and investors. For pre-exit founders, we provide brand refresh strategies that elevate market perception, attract acquirers, and prepare the business for a premium valuation.

Brand & Creative Agencies

We extend your capabilities by serving clients who may be too early-stage or investment-driven for your core model, while protecting your reputation. Our collaboration ensures brands are strategically sound, investment-ready, and market-aligned before you step in with executional campaigns.
