We’re a London based digital agency that loves ideas, design and technology
We aim to make people’s lives better, easier, fairer, more interesting or fun with great strategy, engaging campaigns and rock solid technology.
Home
Design
Great design is much more than purely visual, the combination of user experience, visually compelling interfaces and solutions that work make products people talk about.
Ideas
People engage with great ideas, teams work better if they believe in a concept and for us understanding what you want to do and why is where we start.
Technology
At its very best it can be almost invisible but we love stretching technology to achieve more.
EducationCity
Embedding Scrum and Agile in to the EducationCity team for the creation of a new version of their product.
Dryathlon
A new campaign from Cancer Research UK, Dryathlon had over 35000 participants and raised £3.5 million pounds in its first year.
National Trust
The National Trust website moved platform without impacting end users.
We’re a team of marketers, designers, writers, project managers and technologists based by the Regents Canal near a great pub called The Narrow Boat.
Lots of the team have projects outside of Manifesto and we believe the eclectic mix of thoughts and ideas make the sum of our parts greater than any of us on our own.
Although Manifesto was founded in late 2011, many of the team have worked together for many years.

Creating the Manifesto Brand #1 – The Brief
Let’s set the scene: it’s December 2011 and Simon, Curtis and I are on the verge of forming the company we’d always dreamed of working for – Manifesto Digital.
We had a great combination of skills and abilities, we had expertise in a content management system (Fatwire) that had just been purchased by Oracle and we had the desire and energy to turn our brainchild into a world beating digital agency.
The problem?
We had no brand
WebCenter Sites Asset Modelling Tips
At some stage you may find yourself needing to design and implement an Asset Model in WebCenter Sites. This post will give you some basics to get you started.
There are two models for designing content types in WCS – the Basic Asset Model and the Flex Asset Model.
Best Fatwire and Webcenter Sites Resources
Oracle bought up Fatwire Software back in July 2011 which was fantastic for the platform but also led to quite a bit of upheaval in terms of the support infrastructure and somewhat rearranged the platform’s ecosystem of experts.
I’ve been working with Fatwire Content Server, and then Oracle Webcenter Sites, for many a moon. Here’s my up to date (and hopefully continually growing) list of the best available online resources for learners, intermediate users and experts.
Manifesto wins JustGiving Award for Best Use of Technology
Last week Just Giving hosted an awards ceremony to acknowledge people and organisations who’d contributed in significant ways to Just Giving over the last 12 months. Manifesto had been nominated with Cancer Research UK for our work on Dryathlon, a campaign to inspire people to stop drinking for January and raise funds for CRUK in the process.
Dryathlon was a phenomenal success and inspired 40,000 people to raise over £4m to beat cancer.
