Navigating Manchester’s business boom: How our PR and comms agency helps brands ride the wave

Manchester PR Agency

Manchester is in the midst of a remarkable transformation. As one of the fastest-growing urban economies in the UK, the city is seeing dynamic changes across its business landscape; from rapid expansion in the digital and tech sectors to an increased focus on life sciences, advanced manufacturing and financial services. 

At Duo Consulting, we’re proud to be a Manchester PR agency that works at the heart of this evolving landscape, helping organisations craft compelling narratives, build reputation, and achieve long-term success.

As an emerging leader on the Manchester PR scene with a strong specialism as a tech PR agency and a financial services PR agency, our expertise lies in connecting ambitious brands with the right audiences and stakeholders; especially in a city as vibrant and opportunity-rich as Manchester.

A booming tech ecosystem: The heart of our expertise

Manchester’s digital and tech industries are on an extraordinary growth trajectory. From software development firms to cutting-edge AI startups, the city has become a hotbed of technological innovation. With an increasing number of businesses starting up, relocating or expanding into Manchester, there’s growing demand for a PR and comms agency that truly understands this sector.

That’s where we come in.

Through the strategic work we do as a tech PR agency, we help our clients translate complex ideas into relatable stories, distilling technical messaging into brand narratives that cut through the noise. Whether launching a SaaS platform, securing media coverage for a funding round, or positioning a founder as a thought leader, our strategies are rooted in insight, creativity, and results.

Supporting sustainable growth and responsible brand building

Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’, but rather a central tenet of modern business in Manchester.

Our PR and comms agency is uniquely positioned to help brands communicate their ESG credentials without greenwashing. We provide strategic counsel on messaging, stakeholder engagement, and news and content creation that reflects an authentic vision and evidence-based progress. 

As Manchester continues its journey toward becoming a more inclusive city, we’re proud to support brands like Manchester Building Society who are leading this transition.

International investment and global positioning

Manchester is increasingly attracting international attention. Global investors are recognising the city’s potential and an influx of investment is not only reshaping the skyline but also bringing with it new competition and opportunities.

For businesses looking to position themselves on the global stage, our PR support includes executive profile building, international media outreach, and investor communications. We understand how to navigate the nuances of cross-border messaging and tailor communication to specific target groups and individuals.

As a Manchester PR agency, we bring local insight and global perspective to every brief.

Workforce development and employer brand

Another key trend in the city is the increasing emphasis on workforce development. Companies across sectors are competing for top talent, and employer brand has become just as important as customer-facing messaging.

We work with clients to refine their internal and external communications, helping them tell their story not just as a business, but as a great place to work. From thought leadership on diversity and inclusion to developing internal comms that build engagement and loyalty, our strategies are tailored to support culture-led growth.

Why choose us?

What sets us apart at Duo Consulting is our deep understanding of Manchester’s evolving business climate combined with our national and sector-specific reach. We’re not a generic PR agency; we’re a partner embedded in the city’s heartbeat, helping companies adapt, grow and lead.

  • As a tech PR agency, with deeply experienced consultants, we understand innovation and how to make it accessible.
  • As a Manchester PR agency, we speak the language of the local market and help brands thrive in it and expand out of it.
  • As a full-service PR and comms agency, we connect the dots between research, strategy, creativity and results.

Whether you’re launching a new product, navigating a complex issue, seeking to grow your reputation, or attracting investment, we’ve got the tools and the tenacity to help you succeed.

Let’s build something remarkable

Manchester’s future is bright, but it’s also competitive. Brands that rise above the rest will be those who invest in clear, strategic, and emotionally intelligent communication. At Duo Consulting, we’re ready to help you become one of them.
