You've probably heard of McCann for its iconic advertising work, and we're pretty proud of that. But here in McCann Manchester, we've got a unique northern twist.
Our northern roots? Well, they give us a refreshingly out-of-the-bubble perspective. Which we find pretty handy when we’re helping our clients tap into what real people are really thinking and feeling.
We've got a crew of about 400 hugely talented, yet down-to-earth teammates bringing skills across the board, with particular flair in digital, social, media and PR all under one roof.
Having everyone under one roof isn’t just noisy; it helps us achieve truly connected thinking across the customer journey. Thanks to our strong track record of working with retail brands, that joined-up approach is hard-wired into who we are and how we work with all our clients.
So, whether you come to us for a PR and social project or something all-encompassing, our teams naturally think in a connected way. That's how we create ideas that go beyond just ads. We're talking about big, lasting, multifaceted ideas that draw people in and put a smile on their faces, maybe even a laugh or a tear. And that always get them talking – regardless of the channel or platform.
