Welcome to i4SM.

We are the Institute for Social Media and we are based in Manchester. As a collaborative effort between Manchester Business School and Manchester Digital Development Agency, we are uniquely positioned to bring world class research and thinking to the social media domain.

You can read more about us by clicking the link on the left, or by taking a look at our research blogs.

i4SM is a work in progress, but it will evolve how you want it to. By engaging with us you can help shape the research and development of social media to the ends that you believe to be important.

This is why we are different. We want you to help us build our research base and make it relevant to you.
