English | Deutsch Our people are our strongest asset. With an international team of more than 500 strategists, artists, designers, business analysts, writers, and technologists, we introduce a vast array of skills and backgrounds to every project we undertake – ensuring results that are anything but conventional. This diversity drives our discussions, stimulates our designs, and keeps our studios interesting.
We believe that design has the power to effect change in our clients, our industries, and the world at large. But this can't happen if we are content with the status quo. frog is about taking risks – the right risks – to move companies forward, to improve the lives of consumers, to change the standards at play within our society. When you believe that, as we do, you throw yourself more fully into the project at hand.
We meet client problems with a fully integrated balance of high-level business strategy and design. Our teams work together throughout the entire project, bringing design, strategy, and technology to bear on every feature. We examine industry trends and market outliers, existing competitors and our own imaginations, seeking the inspiration and information necessary for successful design. We locate the ideal and do whatever it takes to make that a reality.
The most effective designs satisfy an unmet need in both the individual consumer and the market at large, making the results twofold. For consumers, our products provide simple pleasures and life-changing advances. For clients, we raise revenue, stimulate markets, and inspire leadership. Our success has gained wide recognition within the business and design communities, earning us top awards, significant media coverage, and an ever-expanding client base.
We work with top companies in every sector, from entertainment to finance, electronics to media. The industry leadership represented by this client list – including Disney, GE, HP, Microsoft, Motorola, and MTV – brings our designs to a vast audience, making an impact across a variety of markets. For us, this diversity means taking on a different audience with every project, tackling fresh problems and identifying new potential improvements. It means never falling into the rhythm of old work and established method.
At frog, we engage in a constant, collaborative dialogue – in meetings and at our desks, over lunch and at our afternoon coffee break – that helps us tackle the industry's toughest projects. Together, our design teams face the challenges of short timeframes and complex business problems. Individually, we are pushed to produce our best work ever. frog asks for truly fresh ideas, new and groundbreaking possibilities. This level of challenge asks us to step up, time and time again, so we are constantly developing as designers, thinkers, and individuals.
frog embraces change, a fact that has consistently positioned us at the forefront of the creative consulting field. Our capabilities have expanded beyond our industrial design roots to include software and UI design, packaging, branding, strategic planning, and in-depth business design. To accommodate these developments and the influx of new clientele, the company has more than doubled in size during the past two years alone. We have opened studios in eight locations internationally and formed a methodology to address higher-level corporate problems.
frogs are always engaged with the developments of our field and those to whom we offer our services. To share this knowledge with others, we speak frequently at industry conferences, lead seminars in our areas of expertise, and engage with journalists on topic. We publish articles in a number of business- and design-related periodicals, and explore the value of creativity with the next generation of designers and managers by teaching engagements at top schools.
frog is currently headquartered in San Francisco, California, with seven additional studios in Austin, TX; New York, NY; San Jose, CA; Seattle, WA; Milan, Italy; Stuttgart, Germany; and Shanghai, China. This international presence allows us to gain a broad perspective of user behaviors when serving our global clientele, and to increase the diversity of our team – a key component of innovation.
frog offers a wide variety of employee benefits that enhance our personal and professional lives. We believe that employees should be free to tailor their plans to their lifestyles. Employees receive comprehensive Medical and Dental coverage from one of the nation's leading insurance providers, with a wide network of medical experts from which to choose. We contribute in large part to premium amounts for employees and their families, provide comprehensive retirement and 401(k) plans, and grant educational reimbursements, ensuring that our quality of life matches our quality of work.
