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

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

There’s no Friday like a Summer Friday! Welcome to summertime, where the living is easy and Leap Group agencies take advantage of the sunshine and longer days with Summer Fridays. You’ll find us out of the office two Fridays each month of the summer, hanging by the pool, relaxing with family or just taking the time to recharge. Hoping all our clients enjoy some summer downtime as well! #AgencyLife #AdvertisingAgency #DigitalAgency #SummerFridays #Recharge #OutOfOffice

As soon as warm weather hits, we’re ready to fire up the grill! The Louisville-based team inaugurated the spring cookout season with classic burgers, brats and a veggie dog or two. And with the garage doors on our warehouse (common area) wide open, we could enjoy the fresh air (and grilling aromas) while collaborating and keeping projects on schedule. We’re sure our more northern teams in Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago won’t be far behind us! Chicago-style hot dogs, anyone? #adlife #cookout #worklifebalance #advertisingagency #marketingagency #digitalagency #brandingagency

This week, Leap Group Co-Founder and CMO Alan Gilleo joins host Greg Kihlström of The Agile Brand™, one of the top marketing technology podcasts. Alan and Greg discuss the rise of generative AI and predictive analytics, and how Leap Group is using those technologies to uncover true human insights within the vast amounts of first-person data and large unstructured data available today. Alan stresses the importance of first ensuring you have a clean, consistent set of data. HumanView, Leap Group’s proprietary predictive modeling product, can not only clean up first-person data, but also enrich it with up to 1000 additional demographic and psychographic variables about your consumer. Despite all the advances in AI technology, Alan emphasizes, predictive modeling still requires a human element. Leap Group’s in-house research team has a robust background in anthropology, with prompt engineers who train the LLM models with a focus on human behavior, actions and activities. Listen to the podcast at the link, and learn how to use first party data and predictive analytics and AI to craft marketing strategies that help businesses Matter More.
