leap in-house places flexible creative production teams directly within your organisation. Each team is tailored to your needs and can include designers, developers, artworkers, and other specialists. By embedding talent this way, we deliver a seamless, cost-efficient alternative to the traditional agency model – giving you the agility of an in-house team with the expertise and scalability of a creative partner.
leap is headquartered at 19 Hayward’s Place, London, with extended operating hours from 7am to 7pm GMT to support clients across time zones. Our reach goes far beyond the UK thanks to a trusted network of local specialists, from translators and copywriters.
