TV Bears International

Helping Brands Make an Impact

With so much digital noise competing for attention, capturing an audience is more challenging than ever. Brands need more than content, they need unforgettable moments that stop people in their tracks. That is where TV Bears International comes in.

We provide a full range of lifelike animal characters through to friendly mascot-style variations that are suitable for all ages. Whether it is for a commercial, a live activation, or a red carpet event, our characters command attention in any environment. When people stop to watch, it creates the perfect opportunity for your brand to connect, share its message, and even generate live social media engagement.

TV Commercials

At TV Bears International, we adapt to your production needs. We can work seamlessly under your director’s guidance, provide complete director and studio services of our own, or anything in between, incorporating our iconic bears and characters into the creative process.

Every production includes our own experienced actors and coordinators who know our costumes inside and out, ensuring shoots run smoothly and efficiently. We also have trusted collaborators ready to assist in many countries, making it possible to deliver consistent, professional results no matter where your project takes place.

Whether supporting your vision or developing original concepts, our team brings decades of on-set expertise, ensuring every frame feels authentic and compelling. Our lifelike characters offer a physical presence that CGI alone cannot replicate, delivering practical effects that connect with audiences on a deeper level.

Our assets also work well in hybrid CGI scenes, and we allow markers to be placed on our assets to enable straightforward postproduction options.

Our characters are proven attention magnets in high-traffic environments, drawing in crowds and sparking curiosity. Once the attention is captured, we create the perfect opportunity for your brand to share its story, showcase new products, and even broadcast live across social platforms.

We offer single appearances, multiple-day activations, and full roadshow support, adapting to the scale and needs of your campaign. Whether it is a launch event or a long-term awareness program, our coordinators ensure every detail runs seamlessly.

Client Testimonials

Our company (Dare Foods Ltd.) worked with Matt and his company on an advertising campaign in the summer of 2023 for our Bear Paws brand and I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience! Matt and his team are talented professionals who have produced incredibly life-like bear suits and the added bonus is that Matt M and his colleague have the capability and experience to act in the suits, which is no easy feat. Our production shoot went exactly as planned and the creative output was business and brand building. We value our partnership with Matt's team and we look forward to doing more work together moving forward.

Matthew and his bear were absolute champions on a hard one day shoot. Everything hinged on him and we never missed a beat. The client was over the moon happy with him and the final product. I hope I am able to bring him back form many more projects.

Matthew was collaborative, flexible, and extremely helpful on a project I worked with him on - a short film about a bear invading a neighborhood. I'm proud to say that our collaboration has created great success for the film which has been celebrated across the world. Matt's ability to problem solve and troubleshoot is excellent, as is his ability to communicate with his team, who executed our project to the utmost perfection. 10/10 would recommend!
