Creative agency ilk snaps up £400k in new accounts

Integrated agency ilk has snapped up £400k in new business as it looks to expand its offer across Manchester.

The Manchester- and Leeds-based company, which formerly operated as Manifest Communications, has announced 11 new client wins in the wake of its rebrand and office move earlier this year.

Among ilk’s new accounts are JAM, the Sale-based recruitment firm, and trampoline park operator Oxygen Freejumping, which expanded in the North West recently with new sites in Trafford and Wigan.

ilk’s managing director, Nev Ridley, said of the six-figure boost: “We’re absolutely delighted with our continued success across the North and feel these account wins really demonstrate our growth potential across Manchester.

“I believe it is our ability to offer such a solid integrated mix of expertise from strategy, copy writing, branding and creative to photography/videography, PR and social media that makes our agency unique in the North, and particularly Manchester.”

He continued: “Obviously there have been some major changes of late – rebranding from Manifest to ilk, selling our shares in Manifest London and investing a significant sum into our new Leeds offices, so these wins provide us with an ideal platform to showcase the direction the business has taken.”

The company is also set to work on integrated projects with animal protection charity Four Paws, the NHS and Leeds-based Kirkgate Market.
