Hello. Welcome to 2012. As it’s the start of a new year, we thought we should look into the mystical Manifest crystal ball and see what’s predicted for the 12 months ahead in the world of communications. Here’s the PR & Social Media instalment:
In a move that myself and countless others will be treating as an early Christmas present, Microsoft, makers of the infamous* boogeyman-browser Internet Explorer, have outlined plans to automatically upgrade all their Windows users to the very latest version of their browser.
Why? Well, maybe it’s pressure from development community campaigns. Maybe it’s constantly evolving threats which emerge from exploits in browser and operating system technology; something for which Internet Explorer 6.0 is ubiquitous. Or maybe it’s just because their latest version, Internet Explorer 9.0, has finally passed the ACID test.
All we know is we want to run into the street and embrace each and every man, woman and child at the gravitas of this news. Not only will our lives as developers become a lot easier, but we can now extend a rich, interactive experience to more.

*IE9 is actually a pretty good browser!
Manifest have a football team and we’re TOO HOT TO HANDLE. Well, we’ve won three games from three to date, which is, without doubt, Wednesday Powerleague Business League Division Two championship form. Can we build on our early success? Can we gain the promotion that our potential suggests is well within our grasp?
There is only one way to find out!
We love Spotify playlists in the Manifest offices, so much so that we’ve decided to set ourselves a little challenge to create topical (but also foot-tappingly awesome) weekly playlists.
This week’s theme is (obviously) Halloween. Currently, the playlist is empty as we all rack our brains for tunes. This is where you come in. Send us your suggestions via the blog, facebook page or tweet us using #manifestunes and we’ll add them to the list.
We’ll then publish the playlist this Friday for you aural pleasure.
Last month the northern office waved goodbye to Huddersfield and said hello to the brand spanking new Leeds office, located right next to the Leeds Liverpool canal.
After 6 years at New North Road, things were starting to get a little cramped, so we upped sticks, packed crates and made a hop, skip and jump down the M62 to Graingers Way (conveniently located right next to a well known wine merchants – score!).
It didn’t take us long to ‘Manifest’ the place up, either, check out the rest of the office after the jump.
