Citigate Dewe Rogerson launches Manchester office
Citigate Dewe Rogerson has launched a new regional office in Manchester to grow its client base in the North West, offer closer service to existing clients in the area and establish a base close to the BBC’s MediaCity headquarters in Salford.
The office is based in the Spinningfields business district of the city centre and provides a full suite of corporate and consumer PR services.
CDR is one of the first international PR agencies to launch a Manchester base, where it will offer businesses the resources of an established, leading full service international PR firm without losing the benefits of face-to-face local support.
CDR is one of the largest and best known international public relations agencies in the world. Headquartered in London, it is part of international communications group Huntsworth plc and has an established network of wholly-owned or affiliate offices across the globe.
CDR believes that there is significant potential in the Manchester area, which is the largest UK office market outside London, the strongest performer for foreign direct investment outside of London and a fast-growing hub for sectors including financial and professional services, health & life sciences, advanced manufacturing and sport. Large parts of the BBC’s output are now also produced in its MediaCity base.
Jonathan Flint, managing director of the Corporate team at Citigate Dewe Rogerson, said: “With the BBC’s move to Manchester and the growth of business sectors in the area, it is an exciting place to be. We believe this new base will give businesses centred in the region the opportunity to tap into the resources and experience of a big international PR firm yet still get local face-to-face service.
“There are significant opportunities to grow our client base not just in Manchester itself, but in other growing business centres like Leeds and Liverpool as well as provide on the ground service to our existing clients in the area.”
