Say 'hello' to hellomint's new starter

Huddersfield-based digital marketing company hellomint welcomed a new member of staff this month. The business’ recent growth has allowed for the appointment of Hannah Mott in the company’s new Marketing Assistant role.

Managing Director Nicola Mellor began the business as a sole trader in 2013 after being made redundant. She saw a gap in the market for digital marketing and social media management and initially established hellomint from her home office.

Since then, the business has grown quickly, resulting in a move to bigger offices and the need to hire three additional members of staff to meet demand, and Hannah is the latest recruit.

Hannah is a student at the University of Huddersfield studying a degree in Advertising and Marketing communications, and is looking forward to gaining hands-on experience in the world of business marketing.

In her new role she will be assisting with hellomint’s clients’ social media campaigns, and will also be creating content for blogs and newsletters.

Nicola Mellor enthused: “Hannah has already brought some great new ideas to the table and we’re really happy to have her on board. She’s picking things up very quickly and is really enthusiastic about giving our clients the best possible service in terms of their marketing.”

She continued: “hellomint is a company that is dedicated to giving opportunities to young people who may not be given them elsewhere. Hiring students or recent graduates means they usually haven’t picked up any bad habits and there is more scope for moulding them into the kind of employee the company needs most.”

Hannah said of her new role: “I’m glad to be getting a chance to put into practice all the things I’m learning at university and the hellomint team have been really welcoming and helpful every step of the way. I’m looking forward to working with the company to develop my skills and help come up with some really exciting marketing campaigns.”
