An eagle is the spirit animal and logo of The Beyond Collective, a micro-network of specialist agencies. It symbolises the group’s adventurous spirit and reflects its maxim: “Rise above, go beyond”.

The group is made up of marketing companies, including Top 50 creative agency, Above+Beyond, the media planning and buying agency, Yonder Media, and brand strategy consultancy Frontier. The companies work collaboratively and independently on British and global business challenges. Clients include takeaway chain Subway, Amazon, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Shelter and drinks company Vita Coco.

High levels of cross-departmental collaboration are required so, every two weeks, the senior leadership meets for the Collective Collaborative Session. At the round-table discussion, departments talk about how what they have been working on would benefit other departments and what help they need from other disciplines. The session is designed to be open and honest, with an emphasis on the positive, alchemic impact collaboration can have.

The Beyond Collective was founded in 2018 and is home to a team of Beyonders, a talented group of people from several disciplines who are unified around the common goal of helping clients to expand their brands in what they call "the age of the audience".

Based in Bermondsey, London, the group’s award-winning, eco-friendly, open-plan space is designed to inspire diverse thinking and creativity, and a culture of fluidity, agility and collaboration. At the Beyond Collective, clients and agency folk come together to discuss challenges and co-create around two double-decker bus-sized "work-walls".
