M3.agency expands with new Manchester hub

An independent marketing agency is expanding into Manchester.

M3.agency, already established in the Midlands and London, is opening a new hub at Colony, in Ancoats. 

Offering services across strategy, brand, creative and performance, M3.agency works with clients spanning automotive, travel, leisure, FMCG and financial services, both in the UK and globally.

Bosses say the firm aims to generate £500,000 in its first year, grow to £2 million by 2027, and will recruit local talent across client services, creative, social and performance marketing.

Rob Pollard, managing partner, said: “Throughout its history, Manchester has shown that focusing energy leads to success. 

“From the Hacienda and Factory Records to Ferguson and Guardiola and even grassroots movements like Pride, this is a city that turns passion into progress through channelling it in the right way. 

“And that’s exactly how we work.

“We knew we wanted to enhance our reputation across the North West and, for us, the only way to do that properly was to put down roots here so we can live and breathe the culture, become part of the community and understand what makes this unique and vibrant city tick.

“Our new home at Colony One Silk Street gives us just that – an ideal location, room to grow and access to the most fantastic rooftop space overlooking Manchester.”

Nick Lovett, chief executive, added: “We’ve just celebrated our 25th birthday, so there is no better time to take our brand into new hubs, and this move strengthens our vision of creating an independent network of agencies across the UK and further afield.

“Manchester and the North West was the obvious first step given its vibrancy, energy, and the important role it plays as a true home for creativity, innovation, and emerging tech.

“This announcement forms part of our wider group investment strategy, and we’re not stopping there as this hub will soon be joined by a dedicated presence in the South West, as well our first international office.”
