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.

Casting a Bear for Your TV Campaign
TV Bears International recently brought a bear to life for NIBC Bank in the countryside near Brussels, Belgium. The ad agency, Unknown Collective, contacted us directly to book a specific bear, and we managed travel logistics, on-set coordination, and preparation, ensuring a smooth and efficient production. Our team set up a temporary studio and breakroom in a wood cabin, creating a professional environment for the actor. By collaborating closely with the agency and NIBC, we adapted parts of the storyboard on set, capturing organic, comedic, and attention-grabbing moments that elevated the final campaign. With our experience and ability to travel across Europe, the USA, and beyond, casting a bear for your TV or digital campaign is simple and stress-free. From initial consultation to final delivery, we provide a complete package including actor, costume, and coordination. Interested in casting a bear for your next project?

Together, we blended resources seamlessly, ensuring the campaign not only spoke to Canadian audiences but also made the brand’s collaboration with Mattel Games shine.
