Bear and fly
Your Story, Unbottled. Let's Make it Fly
Once upon a time, in a world buzzing with untold tales, a wise Bear and an adventurous Fly teamed up. Their mission? Not just to tell stories, but to help every story find its voice, create a connection, and make its own little part of the world a bit brighter.
We believe in the power of connection, a shared human love for stories. Now, our stories might unfold in a boardroom presentation or echo through a Spotify podcast; the mediums change, but the heart remains the same.

Ready to Turn the Page? Let's Craft Your Story
A little note from the Bear and Fly... We pour our hearts, minds, and a little bit of magic into every client we partner with, becoming a cherished part of their ongoing story. This means we work with a select few wonderful organisations at a time to ensure we give our absolute best.
So, if our storybook is full when you buzz, please don’t take it personally! It’s not because your story isn’t incredibly special, but simply because there’s only so much honey to go around (and both Bears and Flys have a particular fondness for the good stuff!). We’d love to hear from you and see if we can make some story magic together.
