Leap Group was named one of America’ fastest-growing companies in the United States by Inc. 5000 — and even made the top 50% of all companies listed. We attribute our 238% growth over the last three years to our uniquely designed, collaborative network structure that prioritizes unity among our agencies and performance for our clients. Our company was designed from the client’s perspective: Leap Group provides a fully integrated approach to all of our clients’ specialized marketing and advertising goals. Thank you to our clients and employees for believing in our bold vision for the future of advertising. We are excited to grow more in the years to come with your support. #MarketingAgency #AdvertisingAgency #Inc5000

Did you know that Leap Group’s very first client (waaaay back in 1999) was based in Chicago? 25 years later, we’re thrilled to be back in Chicago in a big way, opening a permanent office for the dozen or so team members - including Executive Creative Director Kenny Friedman - who call the Windy City home. Several of the crew from Leap Group’s (spark) studio were recently in Chicago for some IRL collaboration, so we decided to pull out the camera and shoot some photos and video. Here are a few of our favorites from the day. #LeapGroup #Chicago #ChicagoAdAgency #ChicagoPhotoStudio #ChicagoVideoStudio #ChicagoMarketingAgency #AgencyHoldingCompany #MidwestAdAgency #AdLife

At Leap Group, we’re all about open communication, transparency and opportunities for engagement. That’s why we gather a few times a year – most recently in July – for what we call our Town Hall Meetings. It’s a time when all our agencies can discuss important information and updates, and a chance to provide transparent, real-time access to Leap’s principals and owners for feedback, dialogue, and Q&A. We recognize that not everyone is comfortable speaking up in a public forum (especially if it’s about a thorny issue!), so we take anonymous questions in real time as a part of each meeting. We’re grateful for the engaging discussions and honest feedback from everyone who participated, and look forward to the next town hall to come! #DigitalAgency #AgencyLife #AdLife #CorporateTransparency #TeamBuilding #AdvertisingAgency #BrandingAgency #MarketingAgency #ProductionStudio

Two years in a row! We’re thrilled to announce that Leap Group has once again been named to the Inc. 5000 List for demonstrating 238% growth over the past three years. Last year alone, we added 30 new employees and signed 13 new clients, including being named Agency of Record for the American Kennel Club (AKC). And earlier this year, we added a new Chicago office to our current locations in Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Louisville, Kentucky. But as proud as we are of these accomplishments, it’s all the work we do, day in and day out, to help our clients make an impact and truly matter more, that matters more to us. Check out our website to see more recent client work and contact us to see how we can help your brand matter more. #Inc5000 #DigitalAgency #ChicagoAdAgency #LouisvilleAdAgency #CincinnatiAdAgency #IndianapolisAdAgency #CreativeAgency #MarketingAgency

We may not be the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., but we know our way around a crawfish boil! This Leap Group tradition was started years ago by (human)x principal Michael Wunsch, a proud graduate of Loyola New Orleans. Mike lived in New Orleans for several years after graduating, and we’re so happy he brought this Cajun tradition with him to Louisville. Check out some photos from this year’s Summer Crawfish Boil and take a look at our careers page if you’re interested in joining a hardworking team that knows how to have fun! #CrawfishBoil #CajunCooking #LoyolaNO #SummerCookout #LeapGroup #LouisvilleAdAgency #AdLife #AdAgency #DigitalAgency #MarketingAgency

Happy 25th Birthday to Us! 🥳 That’s right, this month we’re celebrating a quarter century of helping our clients Matter More. In July 1999, Alan Gilleo and Daniel Knapp took the big leap that created Leap Group, and ever since then, we’ve stayed fiercely independent within a changing advertising landscape and an increasingly competitive global market. Last year alone, Leap Group added 30 new employees, signed 13 new clients, and was named to the Inc. 5000 list in 2023 for demonstrating 238% growth over the past three years. In short, Leap Group is thriving — and we plan to do so for another 25 years. We have more anniversary news and celebrations to share, but in the meantime, here’s a fun look through the wayback machine at how our logo has evolved over the years. Cheers! #LeapGroup #Inc5000 #DigitalAgency #MarketingAgency #AdvertisingAgency #AgencyLife #LogoDesign #LogoAnimation #LogoEvolution #ThrowbackDesign

🔥 So hot right now! 🔥 No, we’re not talking about the weather, we’re referring to the recent Hot 10 Awards dinner hosted by the Louisville chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF). Leap Group had not one, not two, but THREE team members nominated for this highly coveted (and super competitive!) honor: Blake Chadwick, Rachel Lauver and Michael Noble. The "Hot 10" awards chose to spotlight them as among the ten best and brightest advertising professionals 32 and under. Huge congrats to Rachel and Michael for taking home the award, and to Blake for representing the Leap Group with style! 🎉 #AAF #Hot10 #YoungAdvertisingProfessionals #LeapGroup #AdAgency #AdLife #DigitalAgency #MarketingAgency #LouisvilleAdAgency #LouisvilleMarketing

Leap Group agencies will be closed today to celebrate Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery on June 19, 1865. While our country has come a long way, we know there are still many opportunities to create a more just and equitable society for all. That’s why we implemented a robust, data-informed IE&D roadmap to create more diverse, equitable, and inclusive experiences and work at Leap. As LGBTQ+ owned and women-owned businesses, we’ve always known that the diverse voices and perspectives that make up our group are what drive us to be most creative and impactful. We’re passionately committed to making our workplaces – both virtual and in-person – welcoming, safe and inclusive spaces where everyone feels empowered to do their best work. (And have fun doing it, too!) #Juneteenth #DEI #WorkplaceDiversity #AdvertisingAgency #DigitalAgency #DiversityInAdvertising #DiversityInMarketing

As every creative knows, some of the best ideas come when you step away from the computer and explore something different. And that’s exactly what the creatives from across Leap Group agencies did recently. We began with a breakfast gathering in the warehouse lounge area in our Louisville office, where we shared the amazing projects we’d been working on in the past few months, along with some of the things that had been inspiring us lately. Then we headed over to Cooking at the Cottage, where we learned to make our own pizzas and chatted over slices expertly prepared by the head chef. Finally, we walked over to the local pub where Executive Creative Director Kenny Friedman gifted everyone with a copy of Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act. Here’s to more great creative work! #AgencyLife #CreativeAgency #AdvertisingAgency #DesignAgency #BrandingAgency #DigitalAgency #TheCreativeAct #CreativeInsp #DesignInspo #OutOfOffice
