Tales from the City

“I want to get out and meet as many people as I can across MediaCity as knowing your local community is very important to the Co-op. We want to get involved with Mediacity initiatives, events and support whenever we can.”

” If there’s anywhere we can do this and do it well it’s MediaCity because of the amazing, creative people who work within it, making wonderful things happen every day.”

“For us, it was a no brainer to commit to MediaCity. Its high-profile occupiers such as the BBC and ITV combined with its friendly vibe and sense of community as well as its restaurant and bar scene means our clients and colleagues from the South love to convene here.”

“I wanted the business to be close to home but in a beautiful area that is easily accessible for clients and MediaCity was the perfect location.”

“My advice to anyone sitting on the fence about joining a HOST programme is to just go for it!”

“MediaCity is such an exciting place to work. You never know which well-known faces you’re going to spot and there’s a real sense of excitement about the place.”

“I’m looking forward to making connections and working with the creative community here. It’s a really exciting time and I know by working together we can reach out to even more people in the locality and beyond.” 

“Northern spirit bursts out of MediaCity and you can’t not be inspired by being here. I’ve achieved so much already but I still feel like it’s the beginning. There’s so much opportunity here.”

“I’ve travelled the world but I feel my professional journey is just beginning at MediaCity and that really excites me.”

“I absolutely love my job; the people are the best part, from liaising with clients to suppliers. Everyone is so friendly, open and positive – I think MediaCity feeds this positive energy. People are genuinely so happy to be here.” 

“There’s this sense that collectively we’re trying to make great TV.”

“Young talent can learn a skill, apply it and become part of industry.”
