10th July 2008

Global DataPoint are delighted to announce Manchester Evening News Media as their latest partner in the provision of comprehensive local Event and What’s On listings Information. With the imminent re-launch of the legendary City Life brand, MEN media needed a supplier who understood the need for detailed local coverage. Matthew Davies, City Life Product Manager said:

“We chose Global Datapoint because we are determined to deliver the most comprehensive listings possible on our forthcoming City Life site, as it’s what the brand has long been synonymous with, and it’s what our Manchester users deserve. Global Datapoint understood this need for detailed coverage of our local area. In addition, Global DataPoint will be helping us to empower users to promote their own events through the site.”

We are very excited to be involved with City Life and have attached dedicated resources, as per normal with each of our clients, to help facilitate MEN media to achieve the promotion of user events. This is alongside the comprehensive and granular data we already supply, features that are at the core of our local listings proposition.
