Strawberry Frog is an independent advertising agency with offices in Amsterdam and New York. The business was launched in 1999 by Scott Goodson and named after the Strawberry Poison-dart Frog.

The Strawberry Frog name, unconventional by advertising agency standards, is reflective of the company's ambition to become ‘a different kind of ad agency’ [1], one small and flexible enough to take full advantage of the new communications opportunities offered by the Internet, but with a global perspective.

The company cites its practice of employing an international network of freelancers assigned to work groups for clients as further evidence of its unconventional approach. As a result, the agency's operating model has received considerable media coverage and commentary across Europe and the US, and as far as India [2].

Adweek described Strawberry Frog as being part of a wider trend toward independent agencies who are proving that “big global clients don't need big global agencies any more” [3].

Strawberry Frog's clients have included Frito-Lay, Credit Suisse, Heineken, Mitsubishi and Morgan Stanley.
