A boutique studio built on the belief that good work doesn't need a big team behind it.

We combine senior copywriting, content strategy, social media, and design under one roof – without the overhead of a traditional agency.

Beyond the Margin was founded by Lisa Wallace, a writer and marketer who spent years working inside agencies, businesses and media companies – and kept noticing the same gap. Small brands with real potential, chronically underserved by marketing that was either too expensive, too generic, or too slow to deliver.

So we built something different. A lean studio with senior talent at every level, bringing in an experienced creative director and designer when the work calls for it. Expect focused, high-quality work that helps your brand say the right thing, in the right way, to the right people.

Between us – Lisa Wallace, Marizan Du Bruyn and Brendon Barnard – we bring over 40 years of combined experience across copywriting, content strategy, social media management, creative direction, graphic design, visual production and illustration. We've worked across agencies, media houses, and in-house teams in multiple industries, which means we know what good looks like and how to deliver it seamlessly.

Three people. Decades of craft.

Small, by design. Because the brands we work with deserve senior hands at
every stage.
