In this episode of Invisible Cities Talks, part of our Together in Manchester season, we sit down with Kristen MacGregor-Houlston, Head of Brand Partnerships at The Manc, a bold and widely-loved media platform dedicated to showcasing the real voices of the city.

Hosted by our Manchester guide Nick, this episode explores The Manc’s journey from humble beginnings as a meme page to becoming a trusted local voice reaching millions across the North. Kristen shares how the platform balances commercial success with a deep commitment to uplifting local stories from small businesses to charities and social causes.

We talk about the power of community storytelling, adapting to the fast-moving world of digital media, and why partnerships with organisations like Invisible Cities matter more than ever.

Tune in for insight, humour, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of Manchester’s loudest and most passionate voices.
