Built in New York. Built for Automated Growth.
Manifestera was founded by NYC-native marketers and technologists who believed that the future of digital marketing wasn't just better ads — it was smarter systems. We built the agency we wished existed when we were growing our own businesses.
Why We Started Manifestera
Manifestera was born out of frustration. Our founders — a team of NYC-based digital marketers, engineers, and growth strategists — had spent years working inside agencies and in-house marketing teams watching the same patterns repeat: campaigns built on guesswork, reporting that obscured more than it revealed, and a fundamental disconnect between marketing activity and business outcomes.
We knew there was a better way. The rise of AI and marketing automation had created an opportunity to build a fundamentally different kind of digital marketing agency — one where technology did the repetitive work, humans focused on strategy and creativity, and clients could see exactly what their investment was producing.
We launched Manifestera in New York City because this is where the challenge is greatest and the opportunity is largest. NYC businesses face the most competitive digital marketing landscape in the country. They deserve an agency that matches that intensity — one that combines world-class strategy with cutting-edge AI automation to deliver the kind of Automated Growth that actually moves the needle.
Today, Manifestera serves 47+ businesses across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island. Our clients range from neighborhood restaurants and home service companies to professional services firms and B2B SaaS startups. What they all have in common is a desire for measurable, scalable growth — and a partner who will deliver it.
