This, the corporate online presence, will be home to dates, statistics and a new image and video footage bank which will be launched in 2010.
“This re-developed site is primarily focused on helping our stakeholders and partners to promote the city in a consistent and unified way. It also supports our philosophy of maximising public engagement in the creation of Manchester’s online presence,” explained Andrew Stokes, chief executive of Marketing Manchester.
“The new site features a live twitter feed that provides a light-hearted look at Manchester ‘in the moment’, with tweets about anything and everything to do with Manchester."
Marketing Manchester told How-Do there is a 15 minute delay on Tweets as software filters out any potentially offensive messages and checks for swearing. The system has been set up so that readers can't click on links that are posted on the Tweets, to cut out spam.
“The new Marketing Manchester site is the first realisation born from the wider vision that is informing the way Manchester is considering its online presence going forwards, including the development of visitmanchester.com,” added Brendan Dawes, creative director at magneticNorth.
“At its core, the design is testament to everything we hold dear; simplicity coupled with playful use of new technologies.”
