Your core team

Nick Mellor

Creative Director

Holy smoke!!! 35 years in the advertising industry, where on earth did that time go?

Studying advertising at Newcastle I graduated as an Art Director and got my first job working for Ware Anthony Rust where I honed my skills. Whilst I was there, I fortunate enough to win various advertising awards for Radio commercials, Press and outdoor poster campaigns and even photography which is a passion of mine. I then decided to start my own agency Honest Ideas, and the rest is history.

Susie Hull

Account Director

I have worked in the industry for over 10 years, both agency and client side. I lead on all strategy and delivery of projects and have the privilege of building relationships with our wonderful clients.

Pre midday you’ll find me with a coffee, post midday you’ll find me in the wine merchants 😉 So let me know if you want to meet for coffee or something stronger!

 

 

Hang M. Hoang

Originally from Vietnam, I moved across the ocean at seventeen to pursue my dream to work in Art and Design. Since 2020, I have been delighted to be a part of the Honest team, where I have grown and learned from the best in the industry. I am experienced with a wide range of design projects, from social media campaigns to full branding and roll-out. I love the cinema, reading, street photography, and eating.
