Manifest Communication exemplifies
the next generation of business.
Gone are the days of massive overhead, extensive full-time staffs and infinite expense accounts. Here to stay are co-working offices, core team members and networks of contractors.
The Manifest Communication “Persona”
Hard Working – What does not kill us makes us stronger. We have the work ethic of a team of Clydesdales so will do what it takes to get the job done.
Reliable – We do what we say and that’s no joke, you can truly count on us.
Communicative – We like to be straight up about costs, expectations, and everything else.
Leader – Naturally gifted to run the show, set the pace and get people rallied together.
High-Energy/Spirited – Zest and vigor for life that comes through in all we do.
Creative – Think outside the box, problem solving, writing, and exploring ideas of all kinds.
Independent – No micromanaging needed - tons of intrinsic motivation to get the job done on our own. And no one school of thought. We make our own rules.
Outdoorsy – Never a dull moment here. We play hard and love to be in nature.
