Story

How this works

  1. 01

    First of its kind here

    Joburg had no room where visionaries and influential people met on purpose rather than by accident. Manlike is that room, and it was the first of its kind here.

  2. 02

    Built on people

    Everyone has a story to tell but how we capture that story is through a feeling you cannot describe through AI, price tags or a caption like this one even..

  3. 03

    Work worth passing on

    Remove emotion from content creation. Viewers are not going to care what you look like or sound like. What they care about is the quality of the content you provide.

  4. 04

    How the work travels

    We chase loyalty, not numbers. We never ask for a follow, a like or a purchase. Work spreads because members share it inside their own networks, so the only thing that travels is work they want to be seen passing on.

Where the work actually lives

Every kit we design ends up on a pitch, in a season, on people who wear it every week. The shoot is the start of it and the season is the rest.

  1. 01

    Made to be played in

    The kit has to hold up at a fixture, not only in a studio. That constraint shapes the design before anything else does.

  2. 02

    Worn, then shared

    Work spreads because the people in it want to be seen in it. That is a harder bar than an advert has to clear, and it lasts longer.

  3. 03

    Partners stay in

    Brands keep access to the community that grows around the work, well past the end of a campaign.

Partner

What a brand gets

Most partnerships start with one of these and grow into the others.

  1. 01

    Brand collaboration

    We match you with members whose audiences already overlap with yours. Fit decides the introduction, not follower count. The relationships built early tend to carry the most weight later.

  2. 02

    Content creation

    Campaign work made for the Manlike platform, which puts the brands inside it in front of the same audience. The content has to stand on its own.

  3. 03

    Access to the community

    Brands keep access to the community that grows around the work, rather than renting an audience for one campaign cycle.

Process

What happens if you say yes

  1. 01

    We pick the brand

    We research brands and approach the ones already sharing the vision. Fit decides who we work with, which is what keeps the work consistent.

  2. 02

    You get the plan

    Vision boards, mockups, UGC and photoshoot ideas come to you. The marketing work comes off your hands and you never lift a finger.

  3. 03

    We shoot it

    Sign, sit back, and watch us show a side of your brand you have not put out before.

  4. 04

    Then we run it back

    Like what we did? We do it again and we do it better. Most partnerships here are not a single campaign.

Contact

Tell us about the brand

Send us the brand and who you want to reach. If there is a fit in the network we will say so quickly, and if there is not we will tell you that too.
