Hello and welcome to The Brand Bite!
My name is Michiel Maandag, an international brand advisor, author and founder of Monday Brand.
Since 2012 I help companies, institutions, and individuals position for growth, optimize brand portfolios and facilitate in-company brand activation.
My passion is to make the complex simple, and this has directly led to the ideas in my first book “The Only Book You Will Ever Need on Branding” the ‘non-fiction book of the month’ in the UK December 2015 and a top 10 marketing bestseller in the Netherlands, translations in Arabic, Russian and Vietnamese.
With my second book “Win With What” my aim is to bring Category-Led Growth to every leadership team, business professional, and entrepreneur because a well-defined What is the key to growth.
I enjoy the international environment, have lived in the Netherlands, USA, Finland, and managed teams globally.
