I Love Manchester

I Love Manchester The community-driven city brand and iconic symbol of civic pride championing Manchester by spotlighting people, projects and promotions. Manchester.

I Love MCR is an independent organisation which was launched in reaction to the infamous riots in Manchester (and Salford) during the summer of 2011. A catalyst to rise against anti-social behaviour, harness the energy of people who care and unite our unconditional love of the city. Out of the carnage came creativity. It all began with a social media and an outdoor media campaign, which galvanised

an incorruptible symbol of civic pride and unity. This resilience created a platform for people who love Manchester used to promote the city we love. We’re as Manchester as it gets. A small band of incorruptible, like-minded individuals who are Manchester-born & Manchester-bred and who share the same passion; affection for our city. We are cool, cultured, cosmopolitan – just like Manchester. We love Manchester and we hope you do, too. Our heart’s in the right place.

Our Story

I Love MCR® is an independent multi-platform media company based in the heart of Manchester. An internationally iconic city brand and trusted voice of civic pride adopted by Manchester people, championing culture and community.

Out of chaos came creativity. Launched in reaction to the riots in 2011, I Love MCR® gained unprecedented reach on social media and was proudly emblazoned on the city streets as a statement for solidarity and defiance.

Following community clean ups, our “I Love Manchester” campaign positively resonated with residents and visitors alike and became a charitable organisation with an antidote to antisocial news.

Our now globally recognised brand continues to fearlessly and optimistically champion a better future for the city, boost the local economy and enhance the city’s public image.
