Deep end thinking, small studio overhead
Frog Sink House was founded on a wry observation: too many brands pay consultancy prices for a ladder into the shallow end. Our name flips the old advice about the boiling pot — we believe founders and growth-stage teams should leap straight into the deep end of expert strategy, with people who have actually swum there before. We are a four-person senior studio; there is no bench of associates, no pyramid, no deck written by someone hired last month.
Every engagement is led by a partner from kickoff to readout. That is the entire operating model, and it is why our clients — venture-backed consumer brands, challenger B2B companies, and founder-led teams past the startup chaos — get $400K-firm thinking in weeks instead of quarters, at indie-studio pricing.
How we work
- The Leap Diagnostic: our opening framework maps where a brand's growth story stalls — positioning, pricing, channel, or proof — before anyone spends a dollar on execution.
- Two-to-six-week sprints with a defined artifact at the end: a positioning platform, a category thesis, a pricing architecture.
- The open-source Brand Leap Canvas, published for teams who want to run the first pass themselves.
We do not do retainers that never end. Strategy work should converge: you should leave with language, structure, and a point of view your own team can run without us — and call us back only when you are leaping again.
Who we are
The four of us met across agency, in-house, and operator seats, and kept running into each other on the same tricky problems: brands growing fast but drifting, category stories that no longer fit the product, teams drowning in research but starving for decisions. Frog Sink House is the studio we needed then.
If your brand is ready for the deep end — senior brand strategy, honest diagnosis, and partner-led work at a small-firm price — hop in. We will keep your head above water and your story pointed somewhere worth going.
