Today I'm delighted to be joined by Tom Hardy, founder and creative director at Manifesto Studios. 9 years young , Manifesto is a self-described Brand & Communications Accelerator. They're a consultancy and design studio specialising in collaborating with challenger brands.Their clients include Samsung, Red Bull, Vashi Jewellery, Savse (Where a previous Kaffeen Espresso podcast guest, Natasha Lytton, was marketing lead), Myla lingerie and Padella, one of London's hottest restaurants (which my husband looks longingly at every-time we're near the Shard).Prior to Manifesto, Tom accumulated his years of experience at prestigious brand design agencies like Interbrand, Fitch, Rufus Leonard, Lambie Nairn, and more.Having worked with Tom when I was the client, I can safely say that he's one of the nicest and most chilled (and yet ambitious) people I've come across in design.I'm pleased to say that Manifesto Studios thrived in 2020. In fact it has adapted so well on the remote set up, that Tom has recently taken it to a new level, having moved to Mexico whilst continuing to lead his agency. I'm confident you'll come away from this episode inspired about how to make current circumstances fuel your passion for growth, rather than diminish it.So listen in  to hear answers to questions like:How did Manifesto grow in 2020?What client traits do you feel were most appreciated by the team during this trying time?And what traits do you feel the Manifesto Studios team boast that helped you to power through?Do you feel like moving to Mexico would have happened if 2020 had been a different story?How have your goals and ambitions for the agency changed, after the rollercoaster of 2020?Show notes:>> Get the free 5-day mini course: https://kaffeen.club/get-started>> Get the Complete Kaffeen Toolkit: >>  Find our more about Manifesto Studios: https://www.manifesto-studios.com/  Resources mentioned in this episode:> Lead Flow Sprint > https://www.kaffeen.club/lfs <> Win Clients Consistently > https://www.kaffeen.club/wcc < > Client Magnet Book > https://www.kaffeen.club/book <
