Web development platform Wix.com has launched a new campaign showcasing fans behind Manchester City Football Club.

As Manchester City’s official website design & hosting partner, Wix.com will kick off the first fan engagement activity for the season by unveiling ‘This City is Ours’, a website dedicated to Manchester City supporters.

The website will showcase images of Manchester City fans and the codes they live by, beginning with seven fans from in and around the Manchester area, who share their personal stories and experiences related to the club.

The seven featured fans hail from all areas of the city with some very different backgrounds including; Seven-year-old Braydon Bent who keeps his father’s seat from the old stadium at Maine Road in his own bedroom; 45-year-old barber Jason Mellowes whose Uncle Derek drove the team to Wembley for their 1969 FA Cup Final win; Tattooist Wayne Coyle who runs a charity called Community Barbers that has given over 1,000 free haircuts to people over 60.

This City is Ours will also feature more fan profiles, competitions and content from the club throughout the coming season at wix.com/mcfc/thiscityisours.

“Passionate about the game, these true fans are upholding the values of the game and act as global role models for others. As our two brands share values and vision we wanted to showcase these people on a global stage using our technology, a strong, passionate and honorable reflection of Manchester City Football Club and the English game,” says Wix.com CMO Omer Shai.

Omar Berrada, chief operating officer, Manchester City added: “We are incredibly proud of the fans we have at Manchester City. Their passion and support is invaluable to everyone at the Club and Wix’s ‘This City is Ours’ is a unique opportunity to highlight their stories.

“Like Wix, we strive to be innovative and creative in every project we undertake and we believe this new website not only does that, but also offers a new platform on which we can bring our fans closer together.”
