MEDIACITY LAUNCHES MANCHESTER’S LARGEST MULTI-USE CONTENT CREATION STUDIO

MediaCity has today revealed its brand-new Content Studio, the largest multi-use content creation space in Manchester. The launch of the £600,000 state-of-the-art content creation space marks a milestone in MediaCity’s journey as the hub for digital and creative innovation, and future media.

Designed to cater to the growing demand for cutting-edge content creation and offer a professional space at an accessible rate, Content Studio provides a range of versatile creative spaces, including light, dark and podcast studios – perfect for video and stills production, podcasting, photoshoots, castings, experiential media, and beyond.

Curated by University of Salford alumni, Ashley Salmon, the studio has been designed  to meet the needs of content creators, influencers, social stars, brands and businesses  offering a dynamic and inspiring space to produce high-quality and innovative content, while fostering a supportive creative community.  For the first time, creators will have access to a range of industry quality facilities at an affordable rate with spaces starting from £10 per hour.

To further enhance the creative process, MediaCity has partnered with experienced on-site production companies to ensure every booking is fully equipped for seamless content creation. From infinity walls and greenscreens to cameras, audio gear, and props, everything users need is accessible. Plus, one-on-one consultations make the process smooth – so creators can focus on creating, not coordinating.

For those who require significantly more space and tech requirements neighbouring dock10 studios provide this facility – creating a full scale offer across MediaCity.

Through a partnership with creative community group, Heads, creators will have also have access to exclusive workshops and upskilling opportunities, ensuring they stay ahead in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Content Studio is not only a space for production but also a hub for collaboration, innovation, and inspiration, where creators can shape the future of entertainment and digital media.

As MediaCity pioneers this game changing initiative, the content studio reaffirms Salford and Manchester’s place at the forefront of the UK’s creative economy, ensuring that talent, ideas, and opportunity stay within the region.

To mark the launch of the new content creation space, MediaCity is introducing a new podcast, ‘This is MediaCity’ in partnership with The University of Salford and produced by Stephen Chapman, Founder and Creative Director of 39 Pictures. The podcast is set to spotlight the people and stories that make MediaCity the creative powerhouse it is known to be. The production team includes recent graduates from the University of Salford’s MediaCity campus, giving them a valuable platform to showcase their skills and kickstart their careers.

Caroline Aikman, Director of Marketing and Place at MediaCity, expressed her excitement about this transformative project: “Content Studio represents our commitment to nurturing the next generation of digital creators and innovators. By providing the tools, spaces, and inspiration, we’re not just supporting the future of content—we’re empowering it. This marks an exciting chapter in MediaCity’s journey, cementing our reputation as the go-to destination for digital creativity.”

Located in the 2^nd floor of White Tower, Content Studio is open to everyone…even furry four-legged friends from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Book your studio space here
