About US

Intelligence Led New Business
New Business Development

We love to do the thing our clients hate doing most and do it better than they ever imagined possible.

Our role as a new business agency is to unearth opportunities for our clients within the companies they want to work with and get them in front of the decision maker for their service .

The Manifest new business team are rightly recognised as the crème de la crème of agency new business lead generation and will tell your story with passion, eloquence and conviction

Our techniques are channel agnostic, disruptive and engaging. Our results astounding.

Our clients expect, and our team deliver, 100%.

  • an Experienced Team

    All of our team have previously worked in an agency or in the marketing department of a blue chip client so are confident discussing marketing at C suite level.

  • knowing who to target ...

    The data platform we use tells us which clients to target and when through the tracking of reviews, investment, new appointments and historical patterns.

  • ... HOW TO REACH THEM ...

    The LinkedIn plugin we use unearths the contact details of even the most difficult to reach CMO. Direct lines, email addresses and even mobile phone numbers.

  • ... and how to convert them.

    We use A.I. to analyse the profile of the decision maker; knowing their personality type enables us to match their style which results in more conversions.

ACTIVITY LEVEL PACKAGES

When we start working together you may not be sure what you need because you don’t yet know your conversion rate or the quality of the opportunities we deliver. So we’ve made it easy for you. For the first two months we will provide you with the GOLD package but at a special rate of £1,500 per month. At the end of the first two months you can then decide which package to continue with. Or not. It’s completely up to you. No tie in. If you DO decide you want to continue then we work on a one-month notice period thereafter so you have total peace of mind.

The above quoted number of opportunities are meant as a guide and no guarantee is given nor inferred because our clients and their propositions are all unique. By ‘opportunity’ we mean a meeting (either virtual or IRL)  with a decision maker in a company you have specifically told us is one you would like to work with and who has a budget for the service you provide. If you feel you need more than our GOLD level provides please contact us for a bespoke quote.

Some of clients need more than lead generation – they need a flexible, full service Business Development Solution that not only generates the leads, but then attends the meetings, writes the proposals, manages the pitches and delivers new clients. For such clients, we have developed our Business Development Director Plugin.

Our focus

Delivering Targeted Opportunities.

We specialise in helping companies within the creative and marketing services industry win more clients by finding new business opportunities for them with the decision makers for their service within the companies they want to work with.

Only those companies and brands we have identified as being a good fit for your business and that you have agreed for us to target will be approached on your behalf.

The channels we use fall into three categories: Broadcast, Listening and Narrowcast.
Broadcast

Your PR, SEO, AdWords and social marketing, together with your reputation and networking, will drive prospects to your website. We would suggest using software to identify your anonymous website traffic. You may also want to undertake email campaigns to further drive inbound web traffic and we can help here with provision of data.

Listening

Our tech stack includes ALF Insight, Crunchbase as well as various LinkedIn plugins which when combined enable us to predict where there is likely to be a greater need for your service. Using this intelligence, we will tailor niche messages to each prospective new client to make every approach sound like the only one that matters to your agency.

Narrowcast

What is the best and most appropriate channel to use to get your proposition and the niche message we have developed noticed by the prospect we are approaching? Some companies and marketing teams are best approached by email, others are more likely to warm to a personal telephone call and others a well written letter or social approach.
