The Brief: We’ve been brought on to create an exciting set of three short videos for the MCRC as part of a wider marketing push: two vibrant “day in the life” films, one clinical and one non-clinical, and a dynamic promo video that shines a spotlight on Manchester as the place to do a cancer research PhD, all packed with energy, real student voices, and a strong focus on cutting-edge facilities, an inspiring research environment, and the brilliant social scene that ties it all together.

These videos will sit alongside other recruitment materials to help position the MCRC as a top destination for aspiring researchers. The tone will be a lively, authentic blend of informal moments and purposeful messaging, capturing both the ambition and community spirit of PhD life in Manchester.
