    B2C website for B2B company
    Project Type: Branding
    Review Date: 1 May, 2023
    Our PPC and conversion rate agency worked with Manifesto on a website selling backyard nature products directly to consumers for an established company that was mainly B2B. Manifesto did the the branding and did excellent work. We've worked with them since, and I'm proud that they're in Milwaukee. Great humans, great thinkers, great work.

    I have worked with many agencies and I have to say that Manifesto has a couple things that differentiate itself from others:- creative brainpower and storytelling- flexibility to meet client needs- Tim Dyer. He is a fantastic partner.

    Review Date: 17 June, 2022
    I'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.

    Marking Plan for Launch of a New Graduate Program
    Project Type: Integrated Marketing
    Review Date: 13 June, 2022
    Manifesto 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.
