In a world defined by experiences, it’s not enough for brands to simply stand for something – they must stand up for it. We are a brand communications agency built for this new purpose-driven era. Hello.
We are the world’s first global small agency. We love big strategy, big ideas, big data and big hearts. We are powered by creativity and pride ourselves on finding real solutions to real problems. We have offices in London, Manchester, New York, Stockholm & Melbourne and we complain about the weather in all of them. We love our work, we’re never boring and we always buy our round. Above all, we work hard and we’re nice to people.
Manifest is an agency that understands both the creation of ‘the big idea’ and how to deliver it. For too long creativity has been chopped up into siloed channels, so we’ve built a model that goes beyond integration – we call it unified communications. Our agency is born from the belief that great marketing is no longer just about selling products; it’s about starting movements. So that’s what we do.
We have redesigned the customer experience for clients.
Here are just some of the ways we connect and collaborate with them:
Our thought leadership platform helps our clients stay ahead of the curve.
A monthly ray of sunshine landing in your inbox with a healthy dose of news, views and creative inspiration.
Manifest’s unique ‘notworking’ event brings together brands, journalists and agencies.
We are the first agency to have our very own (fancy pants) client service app. It’s a game changer.
Would we even be a marketing agency without a podcast? But this one is good. Like, really good.
