FAQs

If you’re thinking about working with us, you might have a few questions. Here are some of the things people often want to know – from what we do to how we approach projects – all in one place.

This page covers our services, approach, experience, and how we work with organisations.

What does Honest Ideas do?

We’re a creative agency specialising in branding, advertising, websites, social and digital campaigns, and video. Our work helps organisations communicate clearly, stand out, and connect with the people they want to reach.

Who do you work with?

We work with a wide range of organisations – from charities and membership bodies to tech companies, education providers, and public sector teams. We’re proud to support fast-moving scale-ups like Neurobox, SIMcredible, thought leader institutions like Cambridge Ahead, Cambridge University Press, and family-owned businesses like Plumbs’ Dairy. Whether you’ve been around since the 1950s or you’re launching something brand new, we help you stay relevant and move your business forward.

What makes Honest Ideas different?

We focus on clarity, creativity, and ideas that genuinely move people. Our work is grounded in insight, crafted with care, and designed to make a meaningful impact for our clients.

How long has Honest Ideas been around?

Honest Ideas was founded in 2010 by Nick, a former Ad Agency Creative Director with more than 25 years’ experience working with brands, campaigns, and digital projects. The agency has evolved over the years, but Nick still leads every project, bringing the same clarity, craft and creative thinking that shaped Honest Ideas from the start.

Do you offer full branding projects?

Yes. We create complete brand identities, including strategy, visual identity, messaging, tone of voice, and brand assets. Our branding work ranges from full rebrands to brand refreshes.

Can you design and build websites?

Yes. We design and build websites that are clear, accessible, and easy to use. Our work includes everything from UX and design to development and launch.

Do you create advertising campaigns?

Yes. We develop advertising concepts and campaigns across digital, print, outdoor, and social channels. Our campaigns are idea-led and tailored to each client’s audience.

Do you produce video content?

Yes. We create video content for campaigns, websites, and social media – from concept and scripting to filming and editing.

Can you run Paid Ads?

Yes. We partner with dedicated PPC experts who can review your current setup, shape a strategy, write and test ad copy, manage tracking, optimise campaigns as they run, and deliver clear reports you can act on.

Do you work on one‑off projects or retainers?

Both! We handle one‑off briefs when you need something specific, and we also work on retainer for clients who want regular creative, digital, or campaign support throughout the year.

Where are you based?

We’re based in the heart of Cambridge, right next to the beautiful River Cam, just off Magdalene Bridge. Our office address is 33 Bridge Street, Cambridge, CB2 1UW.  This makes us a perfect agency for Cambridge businesses, but we also work with clients across the UK.

How can we start a project with you?

You can get in touch via the contact page to discuss your project, ask any questions, or arrange a call. We’re always happy to talk through ideas and next steps!
