Radim is joined by Freddie and Erik from SNASK — the Stockholm-based studio that has spent nearly two decades building one of the most distinctive, daring creative brands on the planet. What begins as a conversation about music, inspiration, and origins unfolds into a masterclass in conviction, values-led work, and why making enemies is the most logical brand strategy there is. From their refusal to enter awards to a client who fainted getting a tattoo at a wrap party, this episode is a full-blooded reminder of what it actually looks like to stand for something — and never apologise for it.TakeawaysBuild your brand like a rock band — with mythology, a manifesto, and the confidence to always play lastStanding for your values creates both enemies and fans — and that is precisely the pointHumour is far more universal than people believe; the fear of it not landing is bigger than the realityMaking enemies isn't risky — having no position at all is the true creative catastropheGreat creative partnerships work by lifting each other's ideas further than either could reach alone"Fuck-off capital" isn't money — it's the courage to operate entirely on your own termsHolding clients through unfamiliar territory requires conviction and patience, not retreatThe design industry desperately needs voices — neutral, inoffensive work doesn't just underperform, it disappears Daring Creativity.
