Six to Start Ltd., the award-winning online games company responsible for We Tell Stories, Misfits, and Smokescreen, today announced that one of its co-founders, Dan Hon, will be leaving the company.
After three years of helping to build the company, Dan is fulfilling a long-held wish to move to the U.S. He has taken up a position with Wieden + Kennedy based in London and aims to relocate to Portland to take on a greater role in W+K’s global network.
Fellow co-founder and brother of Dan, Adrian Hon said, “I totally understand my brother’s decision, and wish him all the best at W+K. He’s been an invaluable part of Six to Start since we founded the company, working on some of our top projects including Misfits for E4, and Ununited Eurasia for Muse, and I’m sure he’ll do very well in the US.”
Dan Hon said “It’s been a difficult decision moving on from Six to Start but I’m incredibly happy with the company that Adrian and I have built together. It’s brilliantly placed for even greater success with its expansion plans, and I wish Adrian and the team all the best for the future.”

Congrats on a superb portfolio and great wee company in Six To Start. W + K is such a great move, though, and you’ll be in for exciting times, if their blog is anything to go by! I should be popping by Portland on the #becurioustour this September. Would be great to see you if you’re there by then. All the best from Edinburgh!
Wow, this is huge news! Congratulations to Dan on the move; W+K are lucky. I am sure that Six to Start will continue to thrive into the future. The Hon brothers now represent a more complex target to competitors
Congrats Dan and best wishes in your new venture. Please don’t be a stranger, you have many fans and friends here in the US. You can always reach me, and everyone else, at my home on the web…the unfiction forums.
This is exciting news and I am very happy for you. Also very impressed with the SWSX award, which I just found out about. I’ve always been one of your and Adrian’s enthusiastic fans and supporters. I know you will both be extremely successful.
Cheers
