Manchester is an exciting metropolis with an equally exciting future, driven by its dynamic blend of innovation, culture and economic growth. As a historic hub of the Industrial Revolution, the city is now positioning itself as a global leader in technology, education and green infrastructure. Home to world-class institutions like the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, the city attracts top talent, fostering cutting-edge research in areas like AI, advanced materials and life sciences.
The thriving business sector, particularly in technology and media, solidifies Manchester’s status as the UK’s second-largest economic powerhouse. With developments like MediaCityUK and investments in digital innovation, the city is a magnet for entrepreneurs and forward-thinking industries. This really is the place to be going into 2025.
A vibrant city right in the middle of the PR spotlight
Culturally, Manchester is a vibrant city with its iconic music legacy, rich sporting heritage and thriving arts scene. Large regeneration projects, such as the £1 billion Northern Gateway and the revitalization of Ancoats, are transforming urban spaces into modern, sustainable communities.
Manchester’s ambitious plans for carbon neutrality by 2038 highlight its commitment to a greener, more resilient future. By blending its rich history with innovation and sustainability, Manchester is set to thrive as a leading global city, offering unmatched opportunities for businesses, residents and visitors alike.
A powerful opportunity for a niche B2B PR agency
For these reasons and many others, Rose Media Group is delighted to have such a powerful presence here. To put it simply, it’s fun to be working in a location which is as vibrant as we are, and the foothold we’ve had here is, we feel, merely another step on a path that leads to ever-increasing success.
We’ve made particularly impressive strides into the automotive and food manufacturing sectors, so if you’ve eaten a biscuit in Bolton or driven a Renault around Rochdale, the chances are we would have had an involvement along the way. We’ve worked with members of the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders, which is dedicated, as are we, to supporting and promoting the interests of the automotive sector in the UK.
A PR agency that dances to the beat of the city
If you head a little north-east from Manchester you’ll come to the north-east of England, another powerhouse of industry and a location that’s synonymous with energy and innovation. Rose Media Group has worked hand in hand with the North East Automotive Alliance in recent years, and we continue to use our experience and knowledge within the sector to engineer opportunities for our clients.
We’re also proud to be working as a PR agency for Hill Biscuits, a long-established company based in Ashton-under-Lyne that has been baking our favourite snacks since the 1850s. PR can elevate a food manufacturer’s brand by enhancing visibility, building trust and creating strong consumer connections. It highlights product quality, sustainability efforts and innovations through media coverage, events and storytelling. Our impactful food PR strategies drive awareness, strengthen reputation and help differentiate the brand in a competitive food manufacturing market.
Every experience we’ve had here echoes with something the great Anthony H Wilson said: This is Manchester, we do things differently here. We couldn’t agree more. Here at Rose Media Group, we think it’s oh so easy to see why Manchester is magical, magnetic and magnificent!
