Secret Media Network

Secret Media Network is the world’s largest hyperlocal entertainment media network and award-winning platform that includes Secret London, Secret Manchester, along with 240 cities more. Our mission is to discover and amplify everything that’s worth sharing—from unforgettable events and hidden city gems to the voices shaping culture from the ground up.

Local storytelling naturally lies at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s through visuals, words, or experiences, we’re driven by a single goal: to connect people through moments that move, inspire, and spark global conversations.

We know that the most powerful stories often start small or come from unexpected places. A fresh idea. A local voice. A brave first episode. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Rising Star Award: to help uncover the talent bringing something fresh to the mic. These are the voices connecting with audiences in innovative ways and pushing the boundaries of what the medium can be.
