Manchester Business School

They are

  • One of the leading business schools in the world
  • Diverse – with around 2,000 students on campus and over 200 teaching staff, making  MBS the largest campus-based business school in the UK
  • In support more than 3,500 students worldwide through distance-learning and   external programmes, and benefit from excellent links with both business   and the public sector

They needed

  • To create differentiation from the other business schools and demonstrate expertise and thought leadership
  • To have a platform that would grow with the student and staff community and support their Alumni
  • A brand for the concept as well as the platform itself

We provided

A brand and persona for their ‘Transforming Management’ concept and a WordPress MU site tailored and developed to meet their exact requirements.

How we did it

  • Workshop to understand the requirenment and develop the brief for the branding and the site
  • Bespoke WordPress development for both templates and functionality
  • Agile development process in partnership with MBS
  • Training their authors and editors to ensure the platform was as transparent as possible

And the end result?…

  • A strong brand and flexible platform for MBS to demonstrate their thought leadership expertise and promote debate and engagement with the intended audiences
  • A platform based on opensource technologies so they can truly own and continuously develop Transforming Management as their own
