Frequently Asked Questions.


Manchester's social media companies employ a variety of innovative strategies to forge genuine connections between brands and their local target audiences. These approaches are tailored to the unique characteristics of the Manchester market and leverage the city's rich culture and diverse communities. Here are some key strategies used by social media agencies in Manchester:


  1. Localised Content Creation: Manchester-based social media companies focus on producing content that resonates with the local audience. This includes:
  • Using local dialects and slang
  • Featuring Manchester landmarks and iconic locations
  • Highlighting local events and festivals (e.g., Manchester International Festival, Manchester Pride)
  1. Influencer Partnerships: Collaborating with Manchester-based influencers and micro-influencers who have a genuine connection with the local community. This strategy helps brands tap into existing authentic relationships and build trust with their target audience.
  2. User-Generated Content (UGC) Campaigns: Encouraging Mancunians to create and share their own content related to the brand, fostering a sense of community and authenticity. This could involve local photo contests or sharing personal stories connected to the brand.
  3. Community Engagement: Actively participating in local online communities and forums, such as Manchester-specific Facebook groups or subreddits, to engage in genuine conversations and provide value beyond promotional content.
  4. Local Cause Marketing: Aligning brands with local social causes and charitable initiatives that matter to Mancunians, such as homelessness reduction or environmental sustainability projects in the Greater Manchester area.
  5. Behind-the-Scenes Content: Showcasing the human side of brands by sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of local operations, Manchester-based team members, or the brand's involvement in local events.
  6. Interactive Local Experiences: Creating location-based AR filters or organising live events that encourage in-person participation and social media sharing, leveraging Manchester's vibrant social scene.
  7. Data-Driven Personalisation: Utilising advanced analytics to understand the preferences and behaviours of Manchester's diverse demographic groups, allowing for highly targeted and relevant content delivery.

To illustrate the effectiveness of these strategies, let's look at some data:

By implementing these strategies, Manchester's social media companies are able to create authentic, meaningful connections between brands and their local target audiences. This approach not only increases engagement and brand loyalty but also helps businesses become an integral part of the Manchester community fabric.



Manchester's social media agencies are at the forefront of integrating influencer marketing into their overall strategies for clients, recognising the power of local and national influencers in driving brand awareness and engagement. Here's how they're doing it:

1. Localised Influencer Partnerships Manchester agencies are tapping into the city's vibrant influencer scene, partnering with local personalities who have a strong connection to the community. This approach helps brands resonate with the Manchester audience and leverage the city's unique culture and identity.

2. Micro and Nano-Influencer Focus There's a growing trend among Manchester agencies to work with micro (10,000-100,000 followers) and nano-influencers (1,000-10,000 followers). These influencers often have higher engagement rates and more niche audiences, allowing for more targeted campaigns.

3. Long-term Influencer Relationships Instead of one-off collaborations, agencies are building long-term partnerships between brands and influencers. This strategy creates more authentic and consistent brand messaging over time.

4. Cross-platform Campaigns Manchester agencies are designing influencer campaigns that span multiple social media platforms, ensuring a cohesive message across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging platforms like Twitch.

5. Data-Driven Influencer Selection Agencies are using advanced analytics tools to identify the most suitable influencers for their clients. They analyse factors such as audience demographics, engagement rates, and content quality to ensure the best fit.

6. Content Co-creationManchester agencies are moving beyond simple product placements. They're working closely with influencers to co-create content that aligns with both the brand's message and the influencer's unique style, resulting in more engaging and authentic campaigns.

7. Influencer Events and Experiences Leveraging Manchester's vibrant event scene, agencies are organising influencer-focused events and experiences. This approach creates opportunities for in-person connections and generates organic, experiential content.

8. Performance-Based Partnerships Some Manchester agencies are adopting performance-based models for influencer collaborations, where compensation is tied to specific metrics like engagement, clicks, or conversions. This ensures a better ROI for clients.
