About Activate.

COMMUNICATORS - CREATIVES - BUSINESS MINDS

We are a creative full scale 360 degree agency that works with clients and brands of all shapes and sizes. We have a diverse skill set and a talented bunch of enthusiastic individuals. Consider us as the jack of all trades and masters of everything.

It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do,’’ sound familiar? Well this is the Activate ethos and we are immensely proud of the team we have. Take a look below to find out a little more about us.

Ian Manson

Film Maker / Videographer

Interesting fact: I am the second most exhibited filmmaker at the Raindance film festival (Six times) unfortunately for me the most exhibited filmmaker is my best friend Jonnie Hurn who has screened seven times. I am however, lucky to be one of a select few who have shown at Tate Modern before their 40th Birthday. This was a film called “A short film about a Polish Film Director” which I made with the legendary Steve Norris. I also act in the film.

What makes me tick: A feeling that I can use my skills to do something worthwhile. Why I am so excited to work at Activate is one of our clients is the “Water Smart Foundation”, there mission is removing plastics and other hazardous chemicals from drinking water. They also have a keen focus on climate change and sustainability.

Activate are sponsoring me to make a passion project documentary about “PTSD” which is a massive issue within our society. I hope to lift the lid on this subject and make a film that will educate and inspire.

One thing I dislike: I can't narrow it down to just one - injustice, climate chaos and having never been able to solve the Rubik cube.

Favourite Holiday Destination: Most of my traveling has been in Europe and the States. But I dream of going to Japan. I have always been fascinated by their culture, art and history.
