MC2 takes space at MediaCityUK

MANCHESTER-based marketing and public relations firm MC2 is taking space at the Greenhouse in Salford Quays after winning the social media brief for MediaCityUK.
It will work on the social media strategy to help the Peel Group business create an international hub for the media and digital sectors.
MediaCityUK is already home to BBC North, ITV and many other companies associated with media production.
Stephen Wild, managing director of MediaCityUK, said: “Social media has played a key role in bringing together business leaders, employees, students, residents and neighbours as part of our community. For MediaCityUK to turn the next stage of its vision into reality, we need to encourage a thriving ecosystem, enabling people to share ideas, develop talent and grow our destination. Social media is central to achieving this goal – and MC2’s experience and approach makes them the ideal partner.”
MC2 chief executive Mike Perls said: “MediaCityUK is the epitome of global ambition in the region. It is an exemplar for big thinking and clarity of vision. It is now a thriving community with a wide variety of businesses from the well-established to the fresh creative brands and the very best in sport, culture and shopping. This partnership gives MC2 the opportunity to play a small part in helping to take this brand into the next stage of its evolution.”
MC2 will continue to run its head office from Little Peter Street in Manchester.
