Born in 2012 A super-duper video content agency!
Fueled by a passion for creativity, action and change, we want our work to impact viewers in the best way possible!
Carina and Martin Simpson-Hughes founded Howling Bear because they kept seeing the same gap — organisations with important stories to tell, and films that didn't do those stories justice.
Over a decade later, not much has changed about that belief. Everything else has.
We work across TV drama, documentary, charity and brand film — with the NHS, national charities, broadcasters and businesses who need their story told with genuine craft and care. People keep coming back. We think that's because we actually listen before we pick up a camera.
PACT-registered. Broadcast-experienced. Based in Hampshire, working across the UK.
