What we do

Six practices.
One team.

Buy one, buy all six. They are built to work together, so the brand the strategists write is the brand the engineers ship, and the film the directors cut is the film the campaign runs on.

  • BUILD

    Sites, apps and platforms

    Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase. Marketing sites that load fast and rank, and real products with auth, data and billing behind them. Shipped by the same people who designed them.

    • Web platforms
    • SaaS products
    • Design systems in code
    • Performance
  • REACH

    Found, then chosen

    Technical SEO, generative search optimization for AI answers, and paid media that reports in revenue rather than impressions. Built into the site from day one, not bolted on later.

    • SEO
    • GEO for AI search
    • Paid media
    • CRO
  • FLOW

    CRM, automation and data

    Your pipeline, your handoffs, your reporting. We wire the tools you already pay for into one system that tells you the truth, and automate the work nobody should be doing by hand.

    • CRM architecture
    • Automation
    • Integrations
    • Dashboards
  • FRAME

    Film, motion and photography

    Where Black Frog started, and still the fastest way to make people feel something. Commercials, brand films, product motion and social cuts, from board to final grade.

    • Commercials
    • Brand film
    • Motion design
    • Photography
  • MARK

    Brand and identity

    Naming, positioning, identity and the system that keeps it consistent when twenty people start using it. Not a logo file. A brand that survives contact with reality.

    • Positioning
    • Identity
    • Brand systems
    • Guidelines
  • PULSE

    Content and social

    A point of view published on a schedule your audience can rely on. Editorial, social, community and the production engine that keeps it fed without burning your team out.

    • Editorial
    • Social
    • Community
    • Content ops

The Method

The Leap

Every engagement runs through the same four moves. It is deliberately short, because the value is in the decision, not in the deck that explains the decision.

  1. Land

    We map where you actually are. Category, competitors, the numbers, and the uncomfortable parts nobody puts in the brief. No jump starts from a place you have not measured.

  2. Load

    We find the tension worth betting on. One idea, sharp enough to say out loud and specific enough to build against. If it fits every brand in your category, it is not it.

  3. Leap

    We build the thing. Brand, product, campaign or all three, made by one team so nothing gets lost in the handoff between strategy, design and code.

  4. Land Again

    We measure, cut what did not work and compound what did. Then we set up the next jump. Brands that leap once are lucky. Brands that leap on a rhythm are dangerous.

Selected work

Black Frog Film

Twelve years of commercial film, now the engine room of a full house.

Black Frog started behind the camera, making commercials and brand films. That craft did not get replaced when we added product and platform work. It got a bigger job. Today the film team feeds the site, the campaign, the social engine and the product launch, from the same building.

Point of View

What we are watching

We publish what we see before it is obvious. No gated PDFs, no lead magnets.

  • SearchComing soon

    AI answers are the new homepage, and most brands are invisible in them

    Generative search does not send traffic the way ten blue links did. What gets cited is structured, sourced and specific. Most sites are none of those things.

  • BrandComing soon

    Your brand guidelines are a PDF nobody opens

    A brand system that lives only in a document dies the first week a contractor touches it. The system has to exist in code, or it does not exist.

  • ProductComing soon

    The website is not the product, it is the door

    Clients who spend on a launch site and stop there leave most of the value on the table. What comes after the build is where the compounding happens.

About

One team, six practices, no handoffs.

Black Frog is a design and technology company. We started in film and grew into brand, product and platform, because the work kept asking for it. Strategy, design and engineering sit in the same room, which is why nothing gets lost in translation and why we can move faster than the number of people would suggest.
