Manchester PR agency
PR Agency Manchester
marco/richards is a Manchester PR agency built on newsroom instinct. From fast-growing consumer brands to established B2B names, we help organisations tell sharper stories, protect hard-won reputations and earn the kind of coverage that changes their trajectory - with results we're confident enough to guarantee. Manchester has never followed the headlines. It makes them. Our team is cut from that cloth: every member of our team is a former national news journalist, combining front-page instinct with northern straight-talking and national reach. Traditional PR, digital PR built for AI search, social and influencer, founder profiling and crisis management - every campaign is crafted by people who know exactly what makes a story, and they also know how to tell it.
