Agency new business, done properly

We help agencies win the clients they actually want.

Manifest builds predictable pipelines for creative, marketing, communications and digital agencies—through smart targeting, human outreach, and a process you can trust.

Transparent reporting. Bespoke campaigns. Senior, ex-agency team.

Pipeline, not noise

Campaigns designed to create real conversations and qualified opportunities.

Human outreach

Personable, well-researched messages that respect your brand and your prospects.

Built around your goals

Targets, messaging and reporting shaped by the clients you want and the results you need.

How we work

We run bespoke new-business campaigns that identify the right prospects, engage them intelligently, and convert interest into meetings. Our team is agile, optimistic and straight-talking—focused on doing the work properly and representing you well.

Professional and accountable

Clear reporting, accurate tracking, and a proven process that keeps everyone aligned.

Honest and respectful

We never forget we’re acting on your behalf—confidentially, carefully, and with integrity.

“One thing hasn’t changed: agencies need a healthy pipeline to plan confidently and grow.”

That’s what we build—consistently.

Targeting powered by serious insight

We invest in the tools and data so you don’t have to. It means we can focus on the organisations you want to work with—plus the people most likely to say “yes”.

  • Full company profiles to qualify and prioritise prospects.
  • Marketing spend signals to spot better-fit opportunities.
  • Global decision-maker data for accurate targeting.
  • Movers & new hires to catch moments of change.
  • Bombora intent data to prioritise accounts showing demand.

About Manifest

Manifest was founded in 2015 by Adam Whittaker. Adam has been building new business for agencies since 1992, including launching new-business agencies in the UK and the USA. Before that, he worked in new business within branding and BTL agencies—so this has always been the job.

Ex-agency team

We know how agencies run, what clients expect, and what good looks like.

Built for long-term growth

A consistent flow of opportunities you can plan around—without compromising your positioning.
