Intro to Girl&Bear
Girl&Bear are the makers at VCCP.
We’re a world class global production studio, a world of makers where everything that can be made, can be made, and even some things that can’t yet be made, will be made.
Girl&Bear is about transforming the way we make stuff now and adding to that offering so we’re fit for the future and beyond.
It's about exciting everyone within Girl&Bear about Girl&Bear, it's also about showcasing our integrated capabilities across the wider group and most importantly, it's about creating groundbreaking work through our various departments, keeping us at the forefront of peoples minds internally and externally.
To drive this vision, we know that great people are paramount to bringing this all to life so this is where you come in …
A bit of background
VCCP is a challenger agency for challenger brands. We have always challenged ourselves internally to develop our model and our offering. It’s this challenger spirit which led us, VCCP, to be ahead of time with our internal production capabilities. The market has moved quickly, however, and plenty of other businesses are now fighting to produce the ideas and campaigns that we develop. Often they claim to be able to do it cheaper, faster and better.
In Girl&Bear we have outstanding production capabilities living together and always evolving to ensure a contemporary and market-leading integrated ‘making’ offering.
At Girl&Bear we always strive to achieve a difficult task: a total transformation of how we make ideas and improve quality whilst building efficiencies so we can offer value to our clients. It also needs to be an enjoyable experience for our clients and people to make with us.
The principles of VCCP are absolutely appropriate for Girl&Bear, particularly: Be Proud, Be Agile, Be Lean, Be Unprecious. All Girl&Bear’ers should familiarise themselves with these and embrace the agency’s entrepreneurial spirit.
