- Logo & Visual BrandingProject Type: BrandingReview Date: 17 June, 2022I'm writing this review just as our brand is hitting a decade in existence, and I still marvel at how thoughtful the Manifesto team was in their work with us. They came to the project with an attention to detail and a willingness to immerse themselves into our market (and our place in it). As a result they designed a logo that has withstood the test of time, clearly defines our piece of the Broadway ecosystem and continues to speak to our young, boundary-pushing, rule breaking customers.Rating:

- Marking Plan for Launch of a New Graduate ProgramProject Type: Integrated MarketingReview Date: 13 June, 2022Manifesto helped us unearth the heart and soul of our new Graduate Program here at Ozark Christian College. They patiently listened to our scattered goals and carefully crafted what we were saying that we "didn't know how to say." They guided us through conversations and exercises to sharpen our messaging, again giving us words we could not find on our own. Their professionalism and willingness to ask difficult yet insightful questions is unmatched. Highly recommend.Rating:
