About Beyond Media and Circuit Virtual Tours

At Beyond Media, we’re helping physical spaces enhance storytelling with a visual marketing platform called Circuit. Circuit digitizes physical spaces to create immersive virtual tours and maps for places like universities, colleges, and commercial offices. Through an outstanding user experience and a relentless focus on analytics, we make it easy for organizations to connect with and convert prospects into customers.

We’re proud of what we’ve built in Canada, where Circuit is the #1 virtual tour platform in post-secondary education. Bootstrapped and self-funded, we have been customer-led since the beginning, resulting in a loyal customer base of enthusiastic advocates for our product. We’ve got a bold vision for the future, and are looking for talented individuals to join us in making it happen.
