Marketing Manchester is seeking a supplier to develop a new creative concept and produce a social-media-optimised leisure visitor campaign film with supporting photography to promote Manchester as a desirable place to visit and encourage overnight stays in low seasons (January–March and June–August). The supplier must undertake, or work with a proven partner to undertake, robust audience testing of the concept across domestic and international markets; the concept must be able to evolve and will be used across campaigns for a minimum of two years. The resulting film and photography will form the basis of Marketing Manchester’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, ready to roll out from May 2026. The deadline for submission is 10:00am on Monday 15th December 2025.

This could suit creative agencies and film/photography suppliers experienced in leisure or city-destination campaigns who can deliver robust cross-market audience testing and social-media-optimised assets; key considerations include the requirement for rigorous domestic and international testing, a concept designed to evolve over at least two years, and readiness to supply assets in time for a May 2026 campaign rollout.
