The Place Beyond text logo

A Unique, Left Field Creative Agency. Beyond Imagination.

We specialise in the extraordinary. The Unexpected. The revolutionary and the revelatory. Our creative mission is simple; to blow them away.
Through our core creative services of branding, design, illustration and storytelling, we deliver the deepest and most profound expression of your brand.
Dare to be different. Dare to go beyond.

Worldbuilding, Beyond Creative.

Tell your story through immersive design, with a visual flair and uniqueness that’s unmistakably you. We say no to trendy, flat, boring, lifeless design – and lean into a handcrafted approach, rooted in illustration and fine art.

Branding

Building a brand is about more than what you see with your eyes; it’s a belief system. It’s the idea your audience has when they see you, hear you, or experience you in the physical world.
That’s why we will build a world around your brand, not just a series of images. A world with its own lore and story. From the values you’re bound by, to the colours that signal your arrival, we take the very concept of what your brand is to the edge of possibility – and see what happens when you tip over the edge.

How We Work

Let’s talk about you – what are your goals? Who do you need to reach? What drives you to do what you do, every day?
The first stage of every project is all about listening to your needs, your ethos and your vision. You’re the driving force, not us.
We’ll work closely with you, to guide you through a process that starts with the end in mind: your goals.
From there, we’ll work backwards to plan each phase of the project, so you’ll have a clear roadmap from where you are today, to where you’ll be at launch – to where the journey will take you.

Design

Immersive design is just that; it’s inescapable, unforgettable. We approach every web, packaging and experiential design project with a pioneering spirit, to make the user’s interaction with your brand as immersive and engaging as possible.
We do this by blending the traditional with the digital, in a fusion of fine art, illustration and graphic design. Where other designers play it safe and on-trend, we play it virtuosically.
Because what’s the point in making something that’s already been made?

Illustration

The handcrafted, artisan look and feel we’ve become known for flies in the face of convention. And clients love the tactile, textured, theatrical feel that they get when they go beyond – because it just clicks with their customers.
Through bespoke illustration and iconic imagery, you’ll elevate the design of everyday marketing materials when you work with us. No more humdrum. You’re in The Place Beyond, now.

Storytelling

Stories unfold on billboards and screens, on packaging and in literature – on menus and in stores. But to even get a chance to tell your story, you’ve first got to have impact. Because without it, nobody will even notice that you exist.
We approach campaigns the way a director approaches a film. We want to hook you in from the first shot, immersing you in a new world and cutting out the noise around you. Once we have your attention, we use pacing and plot to deliver the message – and leave a lasting emotional connection.
