Manifest - The Intelligence Led New Business Agency

About US

Intelligence Led New Business

New Business Development

Whatever your new business needs, Manifest can help you.

If you already know exactly who you want to work with and just need a highly professional new business go-getter to hunt them down and book meetings, we’re here for you.

But many of our clients don’t; they need a more nuanced approach, using our tech stack that provides us with Scoops, Intents and WebSights so we can track down companies who are actively looking for the service they provide.

Others need even more and for these we can provide a fully integrated digital and analogue new business lead generation service utilising all of the above plus LinkedIn and email custom messaging, follow-up sequences and hyper-personalisation including image insertion and icebreakers.

an Experienced Team
Our team have been with us for an average of eight years and have all previously worked in a marcoms agency, client side marketing team or technology business. They are simply the best you will find. Anywhere.
knowing who to target ...
The data platform we use holds the details of 99m B2B decision makers in 27m companies worldwide and tells us when people are searching online for the services you provide and when they have been on your website.
... HOW TO REACH THEM ...
We have direct lines, mobile numbers and email addresses for the vast majority and can combine a traditional analogue approach with LinkedIn and email sequencing and messaging.
... and how to convert them.
With "Scoops" telling us the topics of interest and reasons to reach out, intent signals telling us WHEN to reach out, it is no surprise we have a 25% conversion rate to meeting with 25% of meetings turning to pitches.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Big compliment from the client for our account director today, they said she was great and that they don’t normally see creative companies (they get inundated with calls apparently).

They told me in the meeting she was very nice and professional and she’d done awfully well to get us in front of them. Meeting went well and looks positive. Well done!

MD of a Full Service Agency

Manifest has been working with us for over a year, providing strategic consultancy and lead generation services. They’ve become an invaluable partner for us and an extension of our team here.

Their appointment has given our new business effort wings, and we enjoy working with their highly professional and results-oriented team. If you’re not already working with them, and aren’t competitive to us, you should be speaking to them.

Partner of Advertising Agency

I have worked with Manifest for almost 10 years now and used them at three different agencies and consider them an important part of my business operations. I have used different agencies in this space in the past and none has delivered the consistency of results and impact that I’ve come to expect of Manifest.

Their systems, their data and detail, but most importantly their people are of a high standard and I would recommend them with genuine enthusiasm and conviction.
