Global Marketing and Perception

Over the last few years, Greater Manchester has successfully continued to communicate its story to the world, making strides to increase its rankings in a range of global indices.

As a city-region with a long history of international appeal and success, we regularly outrank large competitor regions to join capital cities in global indices and in September 2021 Time Out ranked Manchester as the 3^rd best city in the world.

The GMCA will continue working with Marketing Manchester and our wider partners to continue positioning Greater Manchester as a globally leading digital and low carbon city-region with strong sector assets, universities and significant sporting and cultural assets, making the city-region a great place to visit, invest, meet and study.
