International communications agency Manifest Group is expanding once again, with the sunny climes of LA set to play host to the sixth chapter in the evolving story.
The growing global brand opened its fourth office in Manchester in 2020 and has since opened a fifth studio in Melbourne, Australia. It has further bases in Stockholm, New York and London.
Announcing the news via LinkedIn, Manifest said: “It’s official, Manifest is expanding! We’re really pleased to announce we will be opening our sixth studio – HELLO Los Angeles…2023 we’re coming for ya.”
Global head of diversity & inclusion and brand strategy director Julian Obubo will be heading up the launch of the new LA site after almost 10 years at Manifest’s London office. Obubo joined Manifest in June 2012 and became a partner in 2020. He has worked with brands including BrewDog, Durex and Innis and Gunn in his time with the agency.
The downtown LA office will take Manifest bi-coastal in the US, alongside the existing New York office. Manifest added: “With boots on the west coast ground, we’re able to provide best-in-class client servicing for brands situated across California and Vancouver, as well as operate as one global 24-hour creative team.”
