Branding and design
We work out what your business stands for, then draw it: branding, logo design, illustration and packaging design.
It's drawn by hand in our studio, and creative direction keeps every piece looking like it belongs to you.
- 02 / 04
Websites, online shops and web apps
Custom website design in Southampton and web development from one team in our studio, plus Shopify and ecommerce websites and web apps.
UX and UI design plans how each page works first. Your team can change any page without calling us.
- 03 / 04
SEO, social media and ads
Digital marketing that gets the right people to find you: SEO, Google Ads, social media management and paid social ads.
The posts and ads are made in our own studio, and we report on enquiries and sales, not just clicks.
- 04 / 04
Photography, film and animation
Photography, animation and video: your food, rooms and products, brand films, and animation made from your own artwork.
Our photographer and film director work beside the designers, so every shoot is planned around where the pictures will be used.
More work for restaurants, drinks brands and established businesses
Hundred Acre Wine Group · Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast
Fortunate Son and Summer Dreams Wines
Two distinct wine brands from the group behind Hundred Acre, the Napa cult Cabernet, each with a website of its own: illustration and animation for Fortunate Son, a coastal website for Summer Dreams, and SEO for both. More work for the group is in the studio now.
“We discovered Beyond through their work with The Fat Duck, and we immediately fell in love with the team's tactile, artistic approach.”
Outside hospitality and drinks: Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, BeU Swindon, a youth mental health service, and Screencraft, who make in-store displays in Hull.
All projectsWhy brands choose Beyond
- 01
Made in one studio
Seven people in Southampton cover sixteen services, from illustration to SEO. Nothing goes to an outside supplier, so one team sees the whole picture and you have one place to call.
- 02
The people you meet do the work
Your first call is with the people who'd work on your project, not a sales team. Daniel, our Creative Director, stays your contact from start to finish. Meet the team.
- 03
Drawn by hand, not taken from stock
Our designers draw original artwork for menus, labels and websites. It's how the Hundred Acre group found us: they saw our work for The Fat Duck and wanted something just as different for their wine.

Clients stay for years
We've worked with The Fat Duck since 2016, and Incognito came back for the labels of its spirits range. Knowing your brand that well means less briefing and quicker work each time.
People behind the work
A small, senior team with years of experience across design, film, search and software, all in our Southampton studio. You talk directly to the people doing the work, so you get straight advice on what's worth doing for your business, and what isn't, before anything gets made.

Questions about working with a Southampton agency
What does a digital agency do?
It plans and makes what a business needs online: the website, how it shows up on Google, social media and ads. At Beyond the same team also designs the brand and makes the photos and films, so it all matches.
What's the difference between a creative agency and a digital marketing agency?
A creative agency makes the brand and the work itself: identity, artwork, packaging, film. A digital marketing agency gets it seen, through search, social and ads. We do both in-house, so the people who make the work also put it in front of customers.
How much does a digital marketing agency cost?
It depends on the job, so we don't publish prices. The cost comes down to what's made from scratch, how many channels you need and whether the work is one-off or ongoing. After a free call you get a written proposal with the cost.
How do I choose a marketing agency in Southampton?
Look at their work for businesses like yours, ask who will actually do the work, and check whether design, website and marketing sit with one team or three. You're welcome to ask us all three on a free call.
Do you only work with restaurants and drinks brands?
No. They're most of our work, but we also work with established organisations elsewhere, such as BeU Swindon, a youth mental health service, and Screencraft, who make in-store displays in Hull.
Do you work with businesses outside Southampton?
Yes. Our studio is in Southampton and we work across Hampshire, and our clients include Moor Hall in Lancashire, The Kirkmichael Arms in Ayrshire, Chêne Bleu in Provence and two wineries in California.
