Let’s take a closer look at why this win feels so well-earned—and why we’re here, grinning ear to ear, bragging about their success.
"Becoming AI-native has been a key objective this year, too. Manifest has worked closely with Multiply.co to build operational workflows to expand the capabilities of its existing team and drive operational efficiencies."
We’re absolutely thrilled (and not even a little surprised) to celebrate our client, Manifest, as they strike Gold at The Drum Awards for Agency Business. Crowned Agency of the Year in the 11-49 employees category, Manifest is proving what we’ve known all along: they’re not just in the game—they’re rewriting the playbook.
Let’s take a closer look at why this win feels so well-earned—and why we’re here, grinning ear to ear, bragging about their success.
Manifest: Building the Agency of Tomorrow
Manifest isn’t your average agency. Founded in 2009, they’ve grown from a single office into a global powerhouse with studios in London, New York, Stockholm, Manchester, and Melbourne. Their secret sauce? Blending hyper-local insights with big-picture global thinking to craft campaigns that hit where it counts.
But let’s talk about this year. Because, wow, Manifest didn’t just show up—they dominated. Here’s how:
- Retention and satisfaction? Nailed it. With a 70% client retention rate and 84% client satisfaction, they’re basically the agency equivalent of a 5-star review.
- Growth goals? Smashed. They exceeded their targets by 25%, added 30 new clients, and beefed up their headliner portfolio by 40%.
- Profitability? Through the roof. A 155% year-on-year profit increase says it all.
Oh, and did we mention their global presence grew by 40% in multi-market client partnerships? Manifest doesn’t just expand—they make it look effortless.
What Makes Manifest Tick
Behind all those jaw-dropping numbers is a system that works. Manifest’s “Elemental System” might sound fancy, but it’s as simple as this: let experts do what they’re best at. It’s a model that creates trust, clarity, and collaboration—and the results speak for themselves.
This isn’t an agency that churns out cookie-cutter campaigns. Every project is tailored, every team is focused, and every client knows they’re in the best hands. It’s this mix of creative freedom and operational discipline that keeps Manifest at the top of their game.
Bold Ideas, Big Impact
Manifest doesn’t just make ads—they make waves. Their campaigns, like Tommee Tippee’s “The Boob Life” and #TheTruthIs, go beyond the brief to spark conversations and shift perspectives.
This is what makes Manifest truly special: their belief that brands aren’t just sellers—they’re storytellers, culture-shapers, and changemakers. With every project, they prove that bold ideas don’t just belong on a whiteboard—they belong out in the world, making a difference.
Why This Win Matters
This win is a big deal—and not just because The Drum Awards don’t hand out Gold like candy. Manifest’s triumph is a testament to their guts, grit, and genius in an industry where the bar is always rising. When you mix creativity, strategy, and a whole lot of heart, you don’t just win—you redefine the game. As proud partners, we’re practically beaming over here. Watching Manifest grow, innovate, and crush it year after year has been an absolute privilege.
Cheers to the agency that doesn’t just play the game—they rewrite the rules. Here’s to many more wins, Manifest—you’ve earned every bit of this one!
