our story.
Like all good inventions, Sandcastle was born out of necessity.
Here in Western Australia’s burgeoning South West corner, we were seeing brilliant new ventures pop up all the time. It’s that kind of place: world-class wineries and tourism outfits, classy wellness retreats and clever food innovations. Not to mention the cultural experiences, and the many services expanding in lockstep with the growing population.
They all needed someone to tell their story.
We understood that most people are really good at what they do, and not so good at getting word out about it. We saw a lot of people dabbling with haphazard marketing, and getting despondent when they heard crickets.
So we got together and offered to help.
We knew that business owners wanted to get on with what they do best, so we made it easy. By joining forces as a small agency, we could offer a complete one-stop service.
