MAD//Up North Manchester

What sets the North apart in Manchester? A big & bold marketing festival of course!

After a action-packed 3 days filming in MAD//Fest London (read all about it, here), we were invited back to film and photograph Mad//Fest’s first ever (sold out!) event in Manchester, MAD//UpNorth.

With all the ‘who’s who’ of the advertising and marketing world in attendance, we had a blast capturing iconic brands, publishers, agencies, content creators, disruptors and innovators. With some keen Man United fans on the DHD team, we were delighted to have football legend Gary Neville on camera for an interview, as well as the ever-popular marketing guru Rory Sutherland and brands like Weetabix, Jet2Holidays and Kopparberg.

Modelled of the explosive video marketing content we created for London, we turned around quick edits for a full social media campaign, and photographed every speaker, sponsor and bit of action in between!

See you in July…

MAD//Fest returns to London in July 2025 – keep an eye out for the DHD team and don’t forget to say hi!
