About Radim Malinic
Living and working in Southwest London in the UK, Radim runs Brand Nu Studio, an award-winning branding and creative studio as well as Brand Nu Books, an independent publishing imprint. Before finding his calling in the creative industry, Czech-born Radim was an ice hockey player, a bassist in death metal bands, an indie DJ, a music journalist and a student of Economics and Business Management. In 2000, Radim moved to the UK to explore the expansive music scene, only to develop an even greater interest in art and graphic design. Since then his eclectic interests have seen him working with some of the biggest brands, companies and bands in the world. These clients have included Harry Potter, London Film Museum, Decleor, Adidas, Dolby, WWF and USAID. He is also a regular keynote speaker, guest lecturer and brand ambassador. In 2023, Malinic released two books. The first title, Creativity for Sale, offers advice on starting and growing creative careers and businesses. The second, Mindful Creative, addresses the highs and lows of creative life, careers and businesses. Both titles provide a proven and tested framework for finding success in your career and with systems to avoid burnout, stress and negative impact.
