Greetings !

This week we're rounding up some of our most interesting insights related to how brands approach subversive campaigns and products. My favorite is Commodified Subversion, in which brands are being inspired by the authenticity displayed in the disruptive trends that capture consumers' attention.

A timely example includes the postcards created for the Rijksmuseum, which were designed to shred in an homage to Banksy's recent stunt, where he shredded his work Girl With Balloon upon its purchase.

Enjoy!
