Because we crave
what is real.
The media and the mystery…
I’m Manon van der Knaap-Hartig, founder of No Mask Media. I move through the media world — connecting people, stories, and systems. My work lives where creativity meets consciousness: deep in the networks, the noise, and the unseen patterns that shape how we move and create. I’ve always been driven to understand what’s underneath it all — to hack systems, question power, and turn awareness into art.
Someone once told me: “Life is a mix of tension and flow.” That line stayed with me. Because when we dare to look at what’s stuck — in ourselves, in culture, in systems — we create space for things to move again. That’s what No Mask is about: working from awareness, autonomy, and the belief that everything is connected.
I also write intuitive poetry under Manon’s Gedichten — words that come in still moments, when the noise fades. Both worlds feed each other. The media and the mystery. The structure and the flow.
Collaboration here isn’t just business — it’s alignment. If that resonates, reach out.
Interview time!
Recently, I got interviewed by Hanneke Mijnster from RTL.
The full talk is in Dutch — but for my English-speaking crew, I’ve already translated a little sneak peek.
“Everyone easily gets swept up in expectations or group dynamics. But if you truly want to share what you have to offer, you need to pause and get clear on what you want to say — and how you want to say it.”

Mission & values
No Mask Media creates space for honest, unfiltered stories that cut through the noise and reconnect us to what’s real.
We partner with bold voices to make productions that reflect, challenge, and awaken — without filters, without façades, without compromise.
Raw & Unfiltered
We don’t clean things up to make them palatable. We let them breathe. Honest, messy, and alive.
Intuition Over Hype
We trust the process. We follow what feels right — not what looks good on paper.
Depth Over Volume
We’re not here to shout the loudest. We’re here to make something that lands, lingers, and moves.
Clear Commitments, Real Connection
We value intuition and clarity. Creative freedom needs solid ground — fair deals, real alignment, shared ownership.
Bold Voices, Real Vision
We partner with people who have something to say — and the guts to say it without the mask.
