Designate won the pitch given by Arts About Manchester to design and develop a new website, go see this.co.uk

The “go see this” website is the brain child of Greater Manchester’s audience development agency, Arts About Manchester (soon to expand to cover the whole of the north west region). It is a project which aims to benefit both visitors to the city and residents by providing an exciting online environment where the arts, culture and entertainment of Manchester and Greater Manchester are brought together in one online space. Designate won the pitch to design and develop a site that will not only give you up to date information and listings but will allow you to plan and then book tickets. It’s the first of its kind to link all the box offices of a city. It provides an alternative to Ticket Master, an attractive prospect as Arts About Manchester reinvest their profits back into the arts of the North West. It aims to be a website for the people by the people.

The project is backed by Visit Manchester, Manchester Museums consortium and the North West Regional Development Agency and sits at the forefront of online media campaigns for cultural regeneration of the city. With plans to extend to other regions and cities this project is the start of something big...
