A COMMUNICATIONS agency launched by Blaisdon-based Mark Terry-Lush has tasted sweet success following a string of awards and accolades.

The Honey Partnership was co-founded by Terry-Lush three and half years ago and was recently honoured with Agency of the Year by the industry’s trade association, the ICCO, the International Communications Consultants Organisation.

With his three co-founders, Mark has built Honey into an international agency with offices in London, Amsterdam, San Francisco and Shenzhen, China.

Earlier this year it won several creative awards for its work and this week, received a shortlist in the Mobile Marketing Awards and was highlighted as One To Watch by PR Week magazine.

This landed the same day that Honey was awarded the title of World’s Leading Independent Agency by industry magazine, Campaign.

Honey is featured alongside 15 agencies from around the world, which now carry the 2018 badge of honour.

Up to 50 per cent of Honey’s business comes from Chinese technology companies that want to establish themselves in the USA and Europe.

The rest of Honey’s business is from the UK and Europe for companies that want social- and mobile-led marketing campaigns in the food and drink, hospitality, lifestyle, sports and entertainment sectors.

Mark Terry-Lush, managing director of The Honey Partnership, said: “It’s been a roller coaster three years but we have a very talented team who together are making waves in the industry with their China-inspired social creative marketing approach. It was a proud moment to receive Agency of the Year and I was gobsmacked to be told we are now a World’s Leading Independent Agency.”

Terry-Lush is also a director of Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism Association.
