I had the pleasure of working closely with One Black Bear for several years, from 2014 to 2023, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are an exceptional creative agency and an absolute joy to collaborate with. Their creative thinking is consistently fresh, original, and impactful, delivering work that not only stands out but also drives real commercial results. Their campaigns made a tangible difference, combining standout creative with clear bottom-line performance.

One Black Bear always went above and beyond what was expected, consistently delivering more than was asked of them. They are agile, highly responsive, and remarkably receptive to change, ensuring that their solutions are not just creative but also practical and effective. Their ability to adapt and pivot when needed made them an invaluable partner in a fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape.

What truly set One Black Bear apart was the depth of our working relationship. Over the years, we developed a genuine partnership—a true sense of teamwork, mutual respect, and friendships that went beyond the day-to-day office environment. They became an extension of our team, sharing in our successes and challenges with unwavering commitment.

If you’re looking for a creative agency partner who combines outstanding ideas with a deep understanding of how to make them work commercially, I would urge you to seriously consider One Black Bear. Whether you need fresh eyes (and paws) on a brief or a long-term strategic partner, their approach will bring energy, creativity, and results to any project.

We have been lucky enough to work with One Black Bear on numerous projects over the years, both for large national companies and also smaller local businesses. They treat all clients with the same care and attention they deserve.
They provide top-level creative services, advertising and marketing expertise/advice/strategy, delivering across multiple media platforms, and all with a down-to-earth, relatable and personable approach. They have - and maintain - high standards of their work and craft, and should be rightfully proud of what they do. We always enjoy collaborating with them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to businesses of any size or type.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amy and the team for a few months now and already I can tell that they are a standout agency who go the extra mile to provide a fantastic service and exemplary creative, whether the budget is large or small. Amy in particular is one of the best Account Directors I’ve ever worked with. Always available, and always thinking outside the box. She often knows what we need before we do. Thanks to you all and I look forward to continuing our partnership through 2025 and beyond.

The lovely people at One Black Bear came to us with a ready-made campaign, focusing on the fact that homelessness charities experience a dip in donations during the Summer. The team were careful and considerate when addressing the sensitivities around homelessness and took the time to truly understand our services, even to the point of personally involving our clients in the campaign.

The “Homelessness Doesn’t Take a Holiday” campaign had a hugely positive impacted on our fundraising efforts and raised awareness of SIFA Fireside across the city through OOD advertising, media coverage and social media engagement. It’s been a real pleasure working with One Black Bear and we look forward to doing so again in the future.
