About
Manifesto
Manifesto Design was founded in Guadalmina, Marbella, in January 2002 as a creative agency specialised in offering tailored marketing services.
These are built around visual design and branding, content and both online and offline promotion. In the ensuing years Manifesto Design has become a leading company in its field with an impressive portfolio and client base, and a reputation for quality, professionalism, know-how and integrity.
We deliver on time and always aim to exceed our clients’ expectations in a boutique company where marketing, editorial and analytical skills come together to provide a very well rounded range of options adapted to your requirements. Our talented, multilingual team prides itself on the flexibility and creativity that make Manifesto Design the marketing partner that adds value to your business.
