The Medinge Group is an international think-tank of marketing and branding experts that meets annually at Medinge, Sweden, founded by authors and consultants Thomas Gad and Anette Rosencreutz in 2001. The meetings are attended by consultants, authors and thinkers from the United States, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, France and New Zealand.
