StrawberryFrog is a strategic and creative agency that helps brands outleap their categories, moving from where they are to where they want to go. Founded in Amsterdam in 1999 and rooted in New York since 2001, we have built a reputation for work that does not just communicate, it moves people.

We operate through OUTLEAP Thinking, our proprietary methodology that pushes brands to outleap their category, outleap their competition, and outleap the brief. It is how we solve bigger problems than clients come in asking for, and it is what makes the work matter.

Our clients sit in some of the most complex, high-stakes categories in marketing, from financial services and healthcare to technology and beyond.
