The episode dives into the hidden dynamics that can make or break collaboration between banks and design partners. It’s not a single mistake that gets a bank blacklisted — it’s the repeated patterns of behavior that slowly erode trust.
From scope creeping and devaluing creative work to emotional manipulation and payment pressure, the episode unpacks the 10 red flags that signal trouble for agencies and damage long-term partnerships. More importantly, it reveals the constructive alternatives that transform toxic patterns into fair, collaborative, and successful relationships.
Whether you’re a banking executive, digital product leader, or part of a design team, this episode gives you the inside perspective agencies rarely share — and a roadmap to becoming the kind of partner that top innovators want to work with.
Find out:
- How fear-driven behaviors inside banks damage premium partnerships
- Which behaviors consistently destroy trust and lead to blacklisting
- How to replace toxic patterns with collaborative practices that drive success
