On Friday ‘Rule 5’ will be Manchester’s (and the UK’s) newest public relations firm.  We have an office in MediaCityUK  and the infrastructure is all in place.  Manchester is a great city to be in right now.  A new study by Oxford Economics estimates that the region will see output growth of 3% by 2014, nearly 1% higher than the UK as a whole.  Media city also has a unique concentration of media and creative talent.  Needless to say we are excited.

We’ve been active on Twitter for a few weeks now and there are three questions that regularly come up:

1. Where will you be based?   –  We’ve answered that.

2. Will you be hiring?  – We will.  We are a small team but we’ll be announcing recruitment plans imminently.

3. Why are you called ‘Rule 5’ – We’re not going to give a straight answer to that but  there are five options.

Roll on Friday.
