We create the breakthrough human experiences that make your brand matter more.

At Leap Group, we’ve spent decades refining our human-first approach to marketing less, driven by a passion for understanding how people think and make decisions. Our proven process allows us to uncover key human insights and create truly impactful experiences that will make your brand matter – and matter more to more customers.

Leap Group is an independent advertising and marketing network with 4 specialized agencies: (amp), (human)x, (matter) and (spark). A bespoke holding company within reach, we’re the only holding company designed from a client’s perspective, with agencies that intentionally complement one another, not compete with. We provide a consolidated approach - simplifying access to our agencies in a seamless and collaborative structure. Our hybrid model makes it easy for you to have it all or only what you need.

Leap Group has delivered breakthrough campaigns for clients in the healthcare, CPG + retail, finance + insurance, e-commerce + tech, food + beverage, manufacturing + B2B and government industries. We’re proud to have certified women-owned and LGBTQ+ owned agencies within Leap Group.
