Down at the Social

Down at the Social is a Manchester-based PR and digital marketing agency helping newsworthy brands grow through public relations, social media marketing, content creation, and strategic campaigns. Operating from WeWork Spinningfields in the heart of Manchester, the agency works with clients across the UK, delivering outcome-focused work rooted in a content-led, PR-first philosophy. Founded in 2010, Down at the Social takes a distinctive approach to brand communications — one that prioritises long-term client relationships and deep immersion in each business's DNA. Rather than delivering PR for PR's sake, the team focuses on measurable results: driving brand awareness, building media presence, and ultimately selling products. The agency serves brands and businesses seeking to align their PR and social media activity with constantly evolving consumer behaviour. By blending media relations, influencer partnerships, and digital strategy, Down at the Social creates bespoke campaigns that connect brands with the right audiences through precisely the right channels. At the core of their methodology is a four-pillar framework combining intelligence, ideas, influence, and impact. This approach ensures campaigns are not only creative but strategically grounded — remaining relevant and flexible in a fast-changing media landscape. With a lean, specialist team of up to ten professionals, Down at the Social offers the agility of a boutique agency alongside the strategic depth of a full-service PR and digital consultancy. Their specialities span public relations, event management, social media marketing, content marketing, media relations, and digital strategy — making them a versatile partner for brands looking to amplify their story across the UK.
