Grit Over Gloss. Always.
We’re a high-performance marketing team with Idahoan grit. Small, sharp, and built for businesses that care more about results than buzzwords.
Why We’re Not Like Them
Origin Story
We started Manticore because we were tired of watching good businesses get screwed. Overpriced websites. "Marketing" that goes nowhere. We knew service businesses deserved better—so we built the team that actually delivers. No fluff. No filters. Just results that make sense and money.
What we beleive
Our clients aren’t just customers—they’re partners. If you grow, we grow. But that means it’s a two-way street. You’ve got to want the win as much as we do. We’ll lead, but we expect hustle on your side too. That’s how this works.
Non-negotiables
If you don’t understand your marketing, it’s not working. Most business owners can’t explain what their agency does—and that’s a problem. We’ll never serve you jargon or hide behind “industry speak.” If you ask what we’re doing, you’ll get a clear, punchy answer. Every time.
How We Work
This isn’t a buffet. You don’t pick a little SEO and a side of social. We set the strategy because our name’s on the line, too. We lead, you move. That’s how results happen. You’re not buying a menu—you’re hiring a team that owns outcomes.
Idaho → U.S.
Started in Pocatello, Idaho. Sharpened in Boise. Now we help build service businesses across the U.S. If your marketing doesn’t work, we’ll burn it down and build something that does.
Years Team Experience
You don’t talk to a rep. You talk to the person doing the work.
You Want Results? Here’s the Math.
We brought receipts. Every number below comes from real clients, real campaigns, and real outcomes. We track everything, explain everything, and fix what doesn’t work. Simple as that.
93%
came from another agency that f*cked it up first
0%
of our clients say “I have no idea what they’re doing”
100%
Of clients stuck around (minus like 2… their loss)
346%
just because people like seeing big-ass numbers.

Running a business will test you. Period.
There are nights you wake up stressed, wondering if this whole thing is worth it.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
That feeling? That’s part of earning it.
Let’s be real for a second:
You still showing up?
You still putting your work out there?
You still believing in what you sell?
Good. You’re doing it right.
A quick marketing tip to help you push through:
Your audience can’t buy from you if they don’t see you.
Post. Show your work. Talk about your product.
Repeat.

You look like you’ve got it all together from the outside…
but I know how this actually goes.
Some days you’re confident, things are clicking, leads are coming in.
Other days you’re staring at your phone like,
“Did I miss something… or is it just quiet right now?”
That up-and-down?
That’s the game.
Running a business isn’t steady—it’s peaks and valleys.
And the people who make it aren’t the ones who avoid the lows…
they’re the ones who don’t overreact to them.
They stay steady.
They keep showing up.
They keep putting themselves out there—even when it feels a little slow.
Because consistency beats emotion every time.
So if today feels off, slow, or just not what you expected—
don’t spiral. Stay in it.
Zoom out.
You’re probably doing better than you think.
What’s your business in right now—a peak or a valley?
Not Ryker making his job sound like a CRIME 😭😭😭 #describeyourjob #trend #fyp #marketing #officehumor
I don’t know what small business owner needs to hear this but…
you don’t have to be like everyone else to win.
There’s a lot of pressure to “look the part” online—
perfect branding, polished content, saying all the “right” things.
But the truth?
People can feel when it’s forced.
The businesses that actually grow are the ones that feel real.
Clear. Consistent. Themselves.
Not copying trends.
Not chasing what everyone else is doing.
Just showing up as them—over and over again.
That’s what builds trust.
So if you’ve been second guessing how you show up,
or feeling like you need to change your whole vibe to grow…
Don’t.
Refine it. Own it. Double down on it.
Because authenticity isn’t just a “nice to have”—
it’s the thing that makes people choose you.
What’s one thing about your business you’ve been holding back that you should probably lean into more?
