Who we are:

StrawberryFrog is the legendary marketing and advertising agency, creating ambitious futures for the world's most iconic brands. StrawberryFrog is the world's only Movement Marketing agency providing clients with strategic and creative excellence and innovation.

StrawberryFrog has been recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. We are known for our unique approach to branding and marketing strategy, with a philosophy we call 'Movement Thinking'. Instead of traditional advertising methods, which may focus purely on the attributes of a product or service, Movement Marketing creates a social or cultural movement around a brand, connecting it with broader human values, emotions, and community behavior to mobilize your consumers and employees.

This approach is designed to engage people on a deeper level, fostering loyalty and advocacy by aligning the brand's values with those of the customers. By doing so, StrawberryFrog seeks to not only sell a product or service but to also instill a sense of purpose and belonging among consumers, mobilizing consumers and galvanizing your employees.
