A 35-minute Marketing Manchester music documentary, delivered in partnership with Social, has been viewed more than 15,000 times and is helping to raise funds for those whose roles in the industry have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Manchester Music Now and Then: Music Worth Fighting For was premiered via global streaming platform, United We Stream GM, in December, with viewers encouraged to donate the Mayor of Greater Manchester’s charity, OneGM, or WeMakeEvents’ fundraiser for BackUp.
Social was appointed after a competitive tender to work with Marketing Manchester on the documentary project, which was filmed and edited over 18 months with much of the footage captured prior to the first national lockdown in 2020.
