What Eightynine does

Eightynine is a privately held creative production agency headquartered in Breda, North Brabant, Netherlands, founded in 2016. The company specializes in end-to-end video and photography production for brands, delivering corporate films, social video, campaign video, animation (2D/3D motion graphics), narrowcasting content, advertising video, employer branding films, and structured photography categories (portrait, lifestyle, studio, campaign) from concept through post-production and final delivery.

The agency operates with a fixed core team of approximately five to six members — including roles such as Video Director, Senior Art Director, Animator, Producer/Projectmanager, and Communicatie Strateeg — supplemented by an on-demand network of external creatives that the company markets as the basis for nimble and personal service. Underlying production capability is conventional creative tooling for live-action filming, studio photography, motion graphics, and post-production/editing; no proprietary technology, patents, AI/ML systems, or platform products are indicated.

Commercially, Eightynine runs a sales-led, professional services model: clients reach the agency through its portfolio website, direct contact, or referrals, and each project is scoped and custom-quoted on a multi-year contract cadence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans Dutch and international enterprises (Heineken, Albert Heijn, Leen Bakker, Van Gogh Museum), Dutch municipalities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Halderberge), non-profits (War Child, SOS Kinderdorven), and SMBs and influencers, with campaign work executed both domestically and internationally (e.g., RED Sightseeing in Berlin, Copenhagen, and Stockholm). The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding, or institutional investment.
