The Start is a Perth-based creative studio with seventeen in-house designers, developers, strategists and marketing specialists who Never Stop Starting™. Founded in 2014, our integrated agency works across three connected areas: design (web design, UX, branding, visual identity), technology (web development, AI consultancy and development) and marketing (strategy, SEO, generative engine optimisation, social and paid media).

We produce work that's exciting and, more importantly, moves the needle for our clients — including Perth Airport, Tourism Western Australia, RTRFM, Perth Festival, Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre, Hotel Rottnest and The Westin. We work across arts, events, hospitality, tourism, retail, education and not-for-profits.

We break rules that deserve breaking and ask the uncomfortable questions early, because that's usually where the real opportunities hide. There's no senior pitch team handing over to a junior delivery team. Everything is made in-house, with no templates and no offshoring, and the person in your kickoff call is the one designing or coding your project. Our designers and developers sit side by side, which is the single biggest reason our work ships the way it was designed. That approach has picked up a Webby Award, eight Australian Web Awards, two Good Design Australia Awards and Campaign Brief WA's 2026 Digital Agency of the Year.

If you'd rather push forward than play it safe, let's start something.

Have worked with Start on two new websites over the last six months and they have been nothing but a dream to work with. Great communication, kept to deadlines (and kept our team on our toes for deliverables which was great) and the finished products exceeded expectations. Thanks for all of your hard work Start Team, can't wait to work on more projects together in the future!

When looking for a new digital agency, we wanted a team that was reliable, knowledgeable, and approachable. The Start Digital team embodies all these qualities and more. They continuously strive to deliver the best results for us, going above and beyond in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Initially, we engaged Start to manage our website maintenance and Google ads, which have been very successful. After a few months of working with their team and seeing great results, we also decided to build a new website with them and develop a new branding. We couldn’t recommend a friendlier and more capable team for your website and marketing needs.

An absolute pleasure to work with! We’ve just launched our new website, designed and built by the amazing team at Start Digital—and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They took the time to understand our needs, brought fresh and creative ideas to the table, and completely transformed our online presence. Their professionalism, creativity, and collaborative approach made the entire process seamless. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

We approached Start to help redesign our website after researching and contacting many other agencies. I was impressed with Start's unique approach and innovative ideas. They were amazing to deal with, from the first session right through to design and implementation. It was a seamless experience and was extremely easy and they completed the project exactly on time. Thank you to the whole team for your guidance and patience!
