Honest Ideas

Honest Ideas Advertising, Marketing, Branding, Web Design, Video Production, Social media, PR Life is so much simpler when you’re Honest. That was seven years ago. Honestly?

Honest is a team of strategic thinkers, art directors, designers, copywriters and project managers. Two friends got together over a pint and agreed how much better their working days would be if there were no names on the doors: just a band of able, straightforward people who hit it off, who derived their job satisfaction from treating their clients with respect and consideration and from doing their jobs well. Today, as the Honest team surveys the tranquil waters of the River Cam and the civilised serenity of St John’s College, they might reflect with satisfaction on a simple decision well-made. The agency produces fine, professional work, is large enough to efficiently manage very significant clients, and small enough to preserve the personal relationships that make it so special. The people you see here are the people you’ll work with, who you see is who you get. Our size means that you enjoy the benefits of senior people working directly on your business. We attach huge importance to our client relationships. It becomes obvious very quickly when we share a vision and way of working, and once-forged, our relationships tend to be strong and long-lasting. We’re easy to work with. Everyone says so. Good service is second nature to us. We’re unpretentious and hard- working. Whether it’s a campaign theme, a colour palette or a three-word tag line, we keep going until we get it right. Our clients know this so they stick with us. And even those who move on usually come back. The agency was built upon the creative reputations of its principals, and this aspect of our work has flourished over time so that we now offer the most powerful creative thinking and execution in the region

Why not see if we share an instant affinity? Let’s test the water.

We’re so happy for our amazing client, Plumb’s Dairy, who thoroughly deserves this award. What a fantastic evening celebrating their achievement at King’s College, Cambridge.
A huge congratulations to the whole Plumb’s team, absolutely brilliant! 🥂👏

We won! 🏆 Plumbs' Dairy has been named Retailer of the Year at the Cambridge Independent Business Awards. Thank you to the judges, and to every customer who has our milk on their doorstep each morning. This award is yours too.

The judges described Plumbs' Dairy as "a wonderful example of a long-term local business that has moved with the times without forgetting the values with which it was founded".

It was a fantastic evening. Congratulations to all the winners, and especially to our lovely customers Alchemie Technology (double winners), Owlstone Medical and Hot Numbers Coffee!

If Pimm's did workday Mondays… it’d probably be something like this.

Marketing doesn't need to be a heavy lift.

We've worked with Plumbs' Dairy for almost a decade - long enough to know their stories before we even pick up a camera. That's not a sales line, it's just how we work: relationships first, results follow.

So for Father's Day, we popped down for an hour last week, edited with years of b-roll we'd already gathered, and had the films live by Sunday.

Views up 696% week-on-week. 🎥

Big thanks to Justin, Bernard and the whole team at Plumbs' Dairy for letting us in on their story. If you haven't tried their milk delivery service yet, do — plumbs-dairy.co.uk 🥛

If you're a local business looking for an honest, no-nonsense approach to marketing - without the constant briefings and standing starts - let's talk. 👇

Pimm’s o’clock! 🍹
We’re this close to ordering a jug straight through the office window… honestly, it would be rude not to. Fingers crossed it makes an appearance nearer close of play, the perfect way to toast the end of the week!
Cheers to that!

Best thing I’ve seen on the river today! A tribute to Boaty McBoatface which won the public vote to name a new UK polar research ship, which later became RRS Sir David Attenborough. Both super worthy contenders!!! ;)
