About us

Meet the Lads

LeafLads was born from a simple belief: great advertising activates people — and it only works when it's built on data. We combine deep, hands-on advertising expertise with a love of sharing what we know.

Our origin & vision

We want to make the world a brighter place. Using the principles of marketing — and a deep love of data — we help companies, municipalities and NGOs activate people. Whether it's choosing a sustainable product or making a neighbourhood the best place to live, we know how to get started and how to scale.

Rather than waiting for the next brief, we believe in co-creation: together we build the right strategy and translate it into campaigns that guide people through the decision, step by step. And because digital advertising doesn't work without data, data sits at the heart of everything we do.
