INSIGHTS
Every brief starts with the knowledge we have and the knowledge we work to uncover. Every concept is insight-driven to inspire and connect on an authentic level. We take what people care about, and make it work with relevance and meaning.
How do we do it? Well, we never stop listening to people. We learn from them, we record what we learn. We study, read, absorb and share. We form informed opinions and uncover trends within our process. It’s work but it doesn’t feel like it.

Every week we share OUR TAKE, a weekly look at the hottest goings-on, pulled together by our team, with a Sweartaker perspective. Within each edition, we unearth trends and narratives that help us develop culturally connected concepts that land with the right audience.
