ELEVATING BRANDS ACROSS ALL CHANNELS

When it comes to raising brand profiles whilst keeping costs grounded, Honest is certainly up there.

Established in 2007, we’re a team of seasoned creative bods who cut our teeth working for talent from the likes of Saatchi & Saatchi, M&C Saatchi and Ogilvy & Mather. Some of the greatest London agencies.

And we now offer that same big budget thinking to agencies and private clients on a tighter budget. All from a base in leafy Macclesfield, Cheshire. Ideal then, for those looking for less of a ‘capitol’ spend.

What’s more, our honest, unfettered, uncluttered, unadorned creative work, has achieved results both online and off, for blue chip brands in every conceivable market sector.

So, if your brand needs a big idea without a big fee, your socials need some digital creative for less digits, or perhaps your team just wants to break the back of a brief without breaking the bank, hire some higher thinking today.

“…It’s been a pleasure having you in the team. Your good energy and full-force effort; your responsiveness and determination to create strong, impactful and brutally simple ideas has made a big impact with the client and provided some powerful and distinctive work. The research results are extremely satisfying and your [campaign route] came out head-and-shoulders above everything else. Thanks so much for your contribution to [the team] these past months. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity to pull you both back into the fray.”

NICK C. (CREATIVE DIRECTOR)

The answer’s yes.
Now what’s the question?


At Honest, creative is at the heart of everything we do.
And we do the lot.

Creative strategy, digital, web design, copywriting, content, corporate identity, internal comms, in fact the complete creative marketing package.

Because every time a brand speaks, it should come from the same place, with a joined-up identity and the same distinctive tone of voice rooted in its single-minded positioning.

CREATIVE SERVICES
Advertising

We have decades of experience in print, TV and radio advertising both above and below the line, from retail, FMCG and automotive through heavy industry and tech to political parties, charities and travel.

Creative strategy

One of our key strengths lies in unearthing a point of difference that can differentiate the brand from everything else in its sector, boosting awareness and sales.

Copywriting

Don’t write off the written word! In fact, with the advent of the internet, writing is making a monumental comeback. And writing persuasive, engaging copy is perhaps more important now than ever before.

Design for print

We’re committed to the belief that design should never exist in a self-indulgent vacuum but always serve the brand message. Not only that but design should always represent an evolution of the brand’s existing visual assets.

In-house education

We’ve recently experienced an increasing demand for us to share our experience with educational institutions and clients with Richard having taught on the marketing course at Thames Valley University in London and James currently running marketing classes at MMU in Manchester.

Word of mouth

Every time we create brand communications for our clients we have one eye on promoting the message through an intrusive and newsworthy approach that will generate media coverage and word of mouth, maximising marketing spend through free publicity.

Wireframes

We can create decks of low-fi page designs that plot out the entire sitemap schema of a site for clients to approve before embarking upon the build.

UX design

A rich visual of the front end of a site, or app, to demonstrate flow between the various sections to be used as a guide before the coding starts.

Layered PSDs

We can create bitmapped, layered Photoshop files for each page of a site or app, supplied for developers to build from.

DIGITAL MARKETING
SITE Content

We can produce everything from headlines, section descriptors and general page text through to compelling copy to help convert the reader to the business’s product or service proposition.

SEO copywriting

We can write strategically appropriate copy that’s on-brand, hits touch points and is interspersed with key words and phrases that will appeal equally to both the human reader and ‘the spiders’.

LEAD GENERATION

We can generate everything from hash-tagged post entries and well-argued, long form blog content to a library of relevant imagery and photography that will attract just those essential ‘Likes’ but with strategies to bring leads directly to your door.

Corporate identity

We specialise in creating identities that are truly rooted in a brand’s heritage and culture, differentiate the brand from its competitors and flow from the key proposition. Developing brand guidelines documents also forms an important part of our offering.

Social content

The function of social content is often misunderstood. We are skilled in creating content for brands that piques a consumer’s interest and builds relationships based upon perceptions of a brand consumers truly want to engage with.

Websites and eshots

A website is a consumer’s first port of call in checking out your brand, whether driven there by advertising, email or word of mouth. What this means is that a website should obviously connect to your other communications engage the reader and succinctly deliver on the brand promise.

WORDPRESS
SITES and theming

We can install, set-up, design, theme and build a WordPress site from scratch, using our honed Gutenberg workflow.

Existing site CONVERSION

We can recompile and rebuild an existing site using WordPress’s built-in block editor, neatly, efficiently and securely, using minimum plug-ins.

Photoshop TO WORDPRESS

We can take lthe ayered visuals for each site page and neatly and efficiently build a theme in WordPress to match it.

HOSTING
migration

Using our own custom workflow, we can successfully move an existing WP install to a location of your choice.

site editing

Given back-end access, and dependent upon the status of the build, we can add features to a site rather than having to redevelop the site from scratch.

Add e-commerce

We can add market-leading shopping cart functionality to existing WP sites to facilitate the purchase of goods, services and subscriptions.
