Amanda Lee Smith talks to some of the world’s best marketers to hear their path into marketing, and the story behind one career-defining campaign—their first global spot, a major rebrand, a video that went viral, or maybe something that just changed the way people saw their brand.
Every year we make a series of predictions that sit at the crossover of marketing and active / outdoor / wellness brands. We call it our Crystal Baller. This is the 6th edition—the second to make it on My Best Campaign. From cortisol to vintage gymwear, it's a non-so-comprehensive list of what we'll all be talking about in 2026.
Amanda loves exploring and sharing new ideas. She designed and teaches a course at the University of British Columbia and regularly speaks on panels, podcasts, and stages—including SXSW and the Sustainable Fashion Forum. Beyond branding and marketing, she particularly likes to explore ideas in innovation, circularity and regenerative capitalism.
Amanda Lee Smith is the CEO and co-founder of Monday—a branding and creative agency in Vancouver. With clients including Adidas, Arc’teryx, lululemon, and Allbirds, Monday builds brands that enhance human potential and help us form deeper connections with each other and nature.
