Join Honest Ideas
At Honest Ideas, we're a small, independent creative agency based on the beautiful Quayside in Cambridge.
We help ambitious businesses grow through great thinking and great creativity. From brand strategy and advertising to design, websites and digital marketing, we work as an extension of our clients' teams, building long-term relationships and delivering work we're genuinely proud of.

You'll be the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients, helping them solve business challenges through strategic marketing and creative thinking.
You'll work closely with our Creative Director, designers, developers and specialist partners to deliver projects on time and on budget.
No two days are the same: presenting creative concepts, launching a website, reporting on PPC performance or helping pitch for new business,

- Manage timelines, budgets and resources.
- Keep projects moving and clients informed.
Strategic thinking
- Develop marketing and brand strategies.
- Lead discovery sessions and workshops.
- Challenge briefs where needed.
- Help clients make better marketing decisions.
Working with the creative team
- Brief designers and copywriters.
- Review work before it reaches clients.
- Ensure every project delivers against the original brief.
Digital marketing
- Update WordPress websites.
- Coordinate with SEO, PPC and web development partners.
- Help clients make the most of their digital presence.
- Write and produce social posts
Growing accounts
- Spot opportunities to add value.
- Develop proposals and pitch presentations.
- Help win new projects and new clients.
What We're Looking For
You'll probably have:
- At least 5 years' experience in an advertising, branding or marketing agency.
- Experience managing multiple client accounts.
- Strong project management skills.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
- Confidence presenting ideas to senior stakeholders.
- Commercial awareness and an understanding of budgets.
- Experience with WordPress CMS.
- A strategic mindset combined with excellent attention to detail.
Most importantly, you'll enjoy working with people.
We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, organised, calm under pressure and genuinely enjoys helping clients succeed.
What You'll Get
- Salary £50,000 , depending on experience.
- A beautiful Quayside office in the heart of Cambridge.
- A small, supportive team where everyone's ideas count.
- A varied portfolio of interesting clients.
- The opportunity to shape and influence the agency as we grow.
- Plenty of autonomy and responsibility.
- Good coffee. Good people. No egos.
Why Honest Ideas?
We're a small agency.
You'll work directly with clients.
You'll have real responsibility.
You'll influence creative work from day one.
You'll help shape brands, solve problems and see your ideas become reality.
