CUTE NAME SAVAGE IDEAS
At Pokey Bear Productions, we’re all about making content that stands out and leaves an impression. Co-founders Rebecca and Charlotte bring a combined wealth of experience from creating high-energy documentaries to telling powerful real-life stories.
Our team loves taking on bold, innovative projects—whether it’s a gripping TV show we aim to get commissioned or a corporate video that tells a story with the same creativity and energy you'd find on the small screen. We believe that our TV background allows us to bring a fresh, cinematic approach to corporate content, turning what could be an ordinary brief into something memorable. And while we’re always pushing for fresh, original content, we’re also working hard to get new TV shows commissioned and out there. If it sparks conversation, connects with people, and pushes boundaries, we’re all in. We’re not here to follow trends; we’re here to set them.

WHAT WE DO
At Pokey Bear Productions, bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and a touch of mischief come together to create brilliant content.
WHAT WE’ve DOne
Rebecca and Charlotte first met at an independent production company over 12 years ago. There’s nothing quite like cramming camera gear into a two-door hatchback for five weeks on the road at 22 and 27 to kickstart a friendship.
Those early years saw them driving the length and breadth of the UK and even travelling the world, filming stories in every corner (and yes, they can now recommend every decent service station along the way!) That adventure sparked not only a shared love of storytelling, food, and interiors, but also a lifelong friendship.
Since then, their careers have taken them across the world of television, crafting story-led programmes for some of the UK’s biggest broadcasters. Each project has given them the chance to tell unique stories and collaborate with incredible teams and production companies.
