He was a co-host on the Josh Pieters and Archie Manners YouTube channel, with Josh Pieters which gained more than 1 million subscribers.
In January 2020, English far-right political commentator Katie Hopkins was pranked by Manners and Pieters into accepting a fake award, titled the "Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy". Pieters flew Hopkins to Prague where she accepted the award and gave a speech, while the initials of the fictitious award were prominently displayed in the background, forming the swear word "cunt". The pair uploaded the prank to their YouTube channel on the same day that Hopkins was suspended from Twitter for breaking their anti-hate rules.
In May 2020, Manners and Pieters pranked Big Cat Rescue CEO, Carole Baskin, into believing she was giving an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
In July 2023, Manners and Pieters disrupted an event held by environmental activist group Just Stop Oil. In December of that year, Manners and Pieters pranked Conservative MP Suella Braverman into accepting Channel 4 comedy show The Last Leg's "Dick Of The Year Award", after viewers of the show voted for her to be that year's recipient.
In February 2025, it was reported that Manners was working for political party Reform UK in digital communications. In June of that year, Manners was hired by The Centre for a Better Britain (formerly Resolute 1850), a Reform UK-aligned think tank to "provide social media and communications advice".
