Division VII is the technical engine I built to make business transformation real — online, at scale, and under fire.
Built by Dane Shakespear
I founded Division VII because strategy alone isn’t enough.
When I repair, rebuild, or reposition a business through
Dane Shakespear & Assoc., the real work still has to be
built, not discussed.
Division VII is where I make that happen.
This is the engineering shop behind my work — the systems, platforms, defenses, code,
and online infrastructure that shift perception, drive traffic, and protect brands under pressure.
Multiple monitors with dashboards, code, analytics, and infrastructure diagrams.
No stock “happy office” people — just serious technical work.

If it touches the internet, I build it, secure it, repair it, or replace it.
If it shapes perception, I control it.
If it’s under attack, I protect it.
A subtle shield / firewall / network visualization; abstract, technical, not gimmicky.
Could be a stylized network with one protected core node.
“Strategy points the direction. Division VII builds the machinery that makes it undeniable.”
Why I Created Division VII
The internet isn’t neutral. A brand’s success or collapse often comes down to what exists —
or doesn’t exist — in the technical layer beneath the surface.
Most agencies can’t touch this level of work. Most consultants don’t understand it.
And most businesses have no idea how vulnerable they are until it’s too late.
So I built Division VII to own that layer completely:

happening behind the scenes of a brand’s online presence.
How It Connects to Dane Shakespear & Assoc.
Dane Shakespear & Assoc. identifies what’s broken, what needs to be rebuilt,
and how a business should be positioned.
Then Division VII executes it:
- the systems
- the software
- the websites
- the platforms
- the automation
- the cybersecurity
- the countermeasures
- the online reputation architecture
- the traffic infrastructure
One side sets the direction.
The other side builds and defends the infrastructure that makes it real.
A split graphic: on one side “Dane Shakespear & Assoc.” (strategy/positioning),
on the other “Division VII” (systems/tech), connected by clear lines.
“When the stakes are high, Division VII is the shop that builds it, shields it, and keeps it standing.”
About Dane Shakespear
I’m the founder of Division VII and the creator of the turnaround and repositioning work done through
Dane Shakespear & Assoc.
My background spans engineering, system architecture, high-stakes reputation repair, cybersecurity,
and building online infrastructure for brands under pressure.
Division VII exists so the technical side of my work moves as fast, as precise, and as strong as the strategy.
A focused, no-nonsense portrait of Dane. Simple background, strong lighting,
nothing soft or generic. This should feel like the person who actually builds and defends systems.
Bottom Line
Division VII is the technical backbone behind everything I build.
It’s where ideas become systems, where perception becomes reality, and where brands get protected, repaired,
or rebuilt with precision.
