Interview Questions?

After being contacted by Nils Sveje about the project I asked if it was possible to ask a few more questions about the brand. I want to make the most of the opportunity he has provided me with and decided to browse ideas and thoughts as to what I might ask him. This is the initial list I have compiled but is something I will refine before sending to him and arranging a Skype / phone call.
