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.
