Our story
Leap Agency has gone through a few changes in our 30-year history. The doors were officially opened in 1989 by a couple of young Account Directors who had cut their teeth in the direct marketing business of Ogilvy & Mather. As Bristow and Prentice they kicked off with Australia Post as a very supportive foundation client.
Over the course of our 30 year history we’ve built a reputation for expertise, innovation and results. We’ve been trusted by many of Australia’s biggest brands to help them to address their business problems. And we’ve created campaigns and relationships that have stood the test of time.
We’ve always believed that clients who champion innovative ideas should have their commitment recognised. That’s why we’re always happy to enter the finest work in international award festivals. And over the years we’ve consistently picked up the silverware.

Safe hands
Producing great work that gets great results only happens when every element comes together perfectly. You need a robust strategic insight. A creative idea that connects with people. And the knowledge and discipline of a bullet proof process to get the work produced. There is no point in brilliant strategy and creative if the work is not delivered on time and on budget.
Leap Agency has a proven approach to delivering consistently high-standard work for our clients through a clearly-defined series of steps. This works across all media and different clients as all the important elements remain the same, no matter the project.
- Clear, insightful client briefs using simple templates that ensure all important information is supplied at the commencement of a job. These templates are then used to build out the appropriate internal briefs for our Creative and Production teams to actions jobs in a timely manner.
- Establishing agreed timelines and cost estimates with the client so there are no surprises.
- A Production team that works within strict guidelines to ensure that all work is planned, trafficked and delivered in a structured manner. This ensures that cost overruns and timing interruptions are virtually eliminated.
- To this clearly defined approach we add the appropriate technology to further enhance the benefits for all parties. For example, contemporary project management software that allows seamless briefing, work presentation and timeline visibility, so both the client and agency can identify potential bottlenecks or quality issues before they become real problems.
- We work hard to ensure that Leap Agency staff and client marketing team members are trained in these systems to ensure that we get the desired outcome, every time.
It ain’t sexy, but it works. Every time.
