3 Marketing Manchester is the agency charged with promoting Greater Manchester on the national and international stage and the region s destination marketing organisation. We are proud to be part of the Growth Company; an economic and social development agency that includes employment services, skills, business support and organisational development. We are funded through a combination of commercial revenue - including investment from Manchester Airport Group for international campaigns - and local and national public funds. We work closely in partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, VisitBritain and other destination management organisations, the Department for International Trade and many key stakeholders, in addition to over 500 private sector partners. It is our privilege to promote Greater Manchester s key sectors: creative, digital & technology; science; advanced manufacturing; financial and professional services as well as our underpinning culture, leisure and business tourism sector. Our work is essential to the success of raising the profile of Manchester as a global city and strengthening its position as gateway to the north of England
4 Foreword Collaboration is essential to deliver effective destination promotion. To this end, Marketing Manchester will continue to work with its key partners including VisitBritain, VisitEngland, Manchester Airport Group, Transport for Greater Manchester, Department of International Trade, and our Northern Powerhouse colleagues. We are always keen to develop new ways of working and to investigate the potential of new partnerships and initiatives. This document combines significant research, consultation and analysis including: a review of Marketing Manchester activities and operations; tourism, investor and business research; Manchester Airport Group s route development strategy; and the refreshed Greater Manchester Internationalisation Strategy for It is incorporated within the Manchester Growth Company s annual Business Plan and it aligns with the Greater Manchester Brand Strategy, the Manchester Destination Management Plan and the Visitor Information Plan. We have spoken with our partners and listened to our audiences to shape our approach for the next three years. Without a doubt, positioning Greater Manchester at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse and as the gateway to the north of England is essential to help rebalance the UK economy. We have committed more focus on working with and influencing partners and collaborating with the region s key brands including our universities, sport and cultural organisations. To help achieve Greater Manchester s growth targets, we intend to work in a more integrated way to deliver cross sector, international campaigns that will increase the volume and value of international trade, inward investment, students and leisure and business tourism. We are clear about our role: to promote Greater Manchester as a place to visit, invest, do business, and study by communicating the city region s stories to our priority markets across the most effective channels. Sheona Southern Managing Director, Marketing Manchester Stakeholders and partners have told us that we must be ambitious to help take Manchester to the next level. That we should focus resource on best prospects and build on our past successes. That we should leverage available funds by working with partners to deliver mutually beneficial campaigns which target the priority markets. That we should continue to be innovative and creative in our role as one of the UK s most successful destination marketing organisations, reaffirm Manchester s brand in a global context and invest in our digital platforms
5 What We Do Marketing Manchester s role is to promote Greater Manchester as a place to visit, invest, do business, live and study. Our priorities are to: Promote Greater Manchester on a national and international stage to leisure visitors, providing them with inspiration, information and to identify, secure and support business visits and events including cultural and sporting events. Influence investors in our key sectors to set up and grow their businesses in our city region. Initiate collective promotion of Greater Manchester s universities to raise awareness with international students including research opportunities. Drive marketing and communications for the Manchester Growth Company in support of the Greater Manchester Strategy. How we do it: Collaborate with agencies, authorities and independent organisations across the city in order to deliver a consistent, unified message. Co-ordinate marketing opportunities and campaigns aimed at priority audiences to maximise the impact of public and private sector partner activity. Communicate with the world s media to ensure a positive, modern image of Manchester is reflected in coverage. Facilitate a Manchester presence at international events and exhibitions on behalf of organisations across the city, to present a joint showcase of the city region s assets and key sector strengths. Work in partnership with key stakeholders, brands and assets to raise the profile of Manchester as a global city and strengthen its position as gateway to the north of England
6 Our Strengths We are proud to be the official destination marketing agency for Greater Manchester, the original modern city where graphene was isolated, where Rutherford split the atom, where Rolls met Royce and where Alan Turing aligned computer technology with the human brain. We integrate all the essential elements to deliver place marketing: Working with colleagues within the Growth Company including MIDAS and the Department for International Trade, we deliver essential elements of the Greater Manchester Internationalisation strategy. We work closely with other Growth Company business units who deliver business development, employment and skills services. As part of the Growth Company we have a unique service offering. International delivery experience: we have gained a reputation as a trusted delivery partner for international campaigns and events and deliver a coordinating role as the international northern gateway into the UK. A key funding partner is Manchester Airport Group and we align and deliver their international marketing programme for Gateway to the north of England. We employ in-market marketeers in China and US who sit with Visit Britain teams and together we market to our key customers in specific territories across the world. We deliver international events for partners including MIPIM and World Routes Strong cross sector narrative and promotion: Manchester boasts the combination of strong creative digital and tech sectors, Europe s largest cluster of life science businesses, research and academic hubs as well as having world class advanced manufacturing credentials, being the birthplace of 2D materials. We tell this story. Conference bureau: working in partnership with specialist sector teams across the city, we proactively identify international and national conferences with our venue location service and pull out all the stops to facilitate event bid proposals. Over the past three years Marketing Manchester directly supported 169 conferences with a value of over 75 million, including major conferences such as ESOF and Soccerex. Our Reach: We operate leading edge marketing and PR campaigns, which includes online, social and e-marketing channels. These are developed to enable us to target international audiences across leisure, business, trade and investment markets. 3million visitors to digital platforms 20million social media engagements 300million reach of media coverage 6million AVE of media coverage 2.5million consumer engagements Staff: our staff are skilled place communicators and marketeers, including design, digital and research specialists who continuously strive to exceed targets to communicate Greater Manchester s story, always looking for the creative edge that will stand out in an increasingly competitive destination market place. Collaboration and partnerships: Marketing Manchester has firmly established itself as a trusted delivery partner for international campaigns, events and press activity across a number of projects, cementing Greater Manchester s position as the international northern gateway into the UK for tourism, business, investment and the knowledge economy
7 Our Markets Core markets Proximity as well as the volume of our trade and investment relations with Europe, renders it a priority market for Greater Manchester over the three year strategy period. Notwithstanding the challenges ahead, it is hoped that European Union negotiations will address most of the uncertainty about our future trading and other relationships. Within Europe, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries constitute the most promising markets for the successful promotion of Greater Manchester for visitors and investors. The USA, being the UK s top export destination and having accounted for 40 percent of all FDI projects into Greater Manchester over the last three year period, remains our single most important international market. With the US economy seemingly being on a sustainable growth trajectory and claiming undisputable technology leadership in most of our priority sectors, we will seek to further strengthen our transatlantic trade and investment ties. Part of our US strategy is to focus on key metro regions that provide a perfect match for our sectoral strengths, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, New York City, San Francisco and the Bay Area. Opportunity markets Our opportunity markets are China, India, Japan and the Gulf States (GCC) where there is clear growth potential and where we are well placed to build upon existing trade, investment, tourism connectivity and other relationships. Of these four, China, as the world s largest economy, offers significant opportunities where we can build upon our strong existing connections, new direct flights and the emerging special relationship at Government level. Considerable progress has also been made in the Indian market and there is a clear strategy in place for this market which is already leading to the identification of new investment and trade opportunities. Japan is emerging from a long period of stagnation and there is now an opportunity for us to strengthen existing linkages. The GCC is likely to continue to offer further investment opportunities on the back of large scale capital investment that has already been made. Monitor markets Beyond the above six markets our analysis has identified a number of markets which do not register as highly but where we do have important existing links (e.g. through students, tourist visitors and academic research). It is therefore proposed that Marketing Manchester retain a watching brief so that we can take advantage of opportunities (particularly in our niche areas of strength e.g. health innovation and 2D materials) as they emerge. These markets are: Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, South Korea, Nigeria and Brazil
8 Our Priority Sectors Sector deep dive research undertaken by New Economy has greatly strengthened understanding of our key growth sectors and sub sector opportunities. Through this work, together with the Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review, VisitBritain and our own visitor research, we have been able to confirm our priority and enabling sectors, and to identify the niche opportunities within them.
