The Traveller and the Bear Reviews 

I have worked with Claire and Ant for years at another agency so when they asked if i'd like to do some work for them I jumped at the chance!
Genuinely lovely people who want to make a difference.
I love the banter, I love that they care, I love feeling part of the team and I love being part of an agency that produces some truly spectacular work. I mean why wouldn't you want to work with these bears? I promise you'll be blown away by their creative goodness!

I love working with this lot. They're unafraid in everything they do – they're absolutely changing it up. They're never going to do it the same as everyone else and you've got to applaud that. Their creative briefs are awesome (they distill it right down) and cut out the waffle. They tell it like it is and are forever honest. As
a freelance creative writer, it can often feel like there's no one to bounce ideas off but the Bears offered to be a sounding board at any time. I can't wait for the day I can go and hot-desk in their amazing office. I feel like they adopted me – they're very supportive and sometimes check-in – just because. What's more, they get the difficulties of waiting for payment as a freelancer and have always paid me really quickly. You couldn't meet a nicer bunch of humans. And that's the biggie – they're human and wonderfully down-to-earth. A delight to work with.

The Traveller and the Bear have been a dream to work with. They take the time to understand the brief, the purpose of the campaign, the desired outcomes and ask questions (lots of them) in order to really get their bear teeth into the job!

Our first project with them was run with military precision to ensure all deadlines were met with a timing plan, budget and key dates agreed at the outset.

They’re honest, fun and will come up with some ‘out there’ ideas that make you think. But they also take feedback and understand that you know your brand and audience better than anyone.

It’s all about mutual trust. We’ve seen them as an extension of the Princesshay team and were really pleased with how the Christmas campaign of 2020 landed given the challenging circumstances.

I've worked with both Claire and Antonio on various projects for nearly 10 years, and have always been thrilled with of the results.

They are consistently easy to work with, immediately understand the brief, and as a team, are incredibly efficient at delivering the finished product.

I've worked with them on a wide variety of projects; from TV ads, to Out Of Home, digital and tactical messaging campaigns – which are always exciting on-brand creative solutions of an outstanding quality.

Claire and Antonio always show huge amounts of creativity and fantastic client servicing. A fantastic team who add real value.

I am a freelance illustrator who worked with Traveller and the Bear on two illustration projects for the same client. From the outset I found them super friendly, easy going but professional with great communication skills and really helpful feedback. Their briefing process was seamless and the art direction they gave me was really concise which always helps! They also paid me promptly :)
Basically a dream to work with.

We worked with Claire & Antonio back in October / November of 2020 on an Illustration project. They were brilliant to deal with, very friendly and encouraging. The project went very smoothly, they really know what they're doing. Highly recommend commissioning Traveller & The Bear if your client side, or showing them your portfolio for future projects if your a creative.

I have known Antonio personally for around 30 plus years and always admired his unique creative talent and his ability to think outside the box to deliver exceptional solutions that magically attract customers.
In the past 8 years, Antonio has helped Vielo sports position and bring to market a high-end German bicycle brand into the UK market. Antonio has great skills in understanding consumers, what they value, and how to connect with them.
In 2017 Vielo sports moved away from our UK bicycle distributor model, to creating our own brand of bicycles called Vielo.
From the start we had a pretty good idea where we wanted to position our brand and with Antonio’s help, total passion and commitment we came up with a clear plan.
Antonio’s idea was to create a real connection with our customers from the start, to engage in likeable conversations and create a loyal following of Vielo fans.
Very quickly, within the first year of building our brand, we started to build a loyal following of Vielo fans and paying customers in the UK and around the world.
Many times during our journey from starting our Vielo brand we would share ideas with Antonio to get his input. He would always listen, then add his knowledge and experience to come up with a plan that complimented our ideas, then advanced them to a much higher level. This really helped Vielo stand out from the crowd and helped make our brand unique.
I would highly recommend The Traveller and the Bear. Antonio’s passion, commitment, thinking outside the box and delivery of exceptional service to anyone who wants to take their brand or business forward is remarkable. Antonio is a great team player, has true values of honesty and integrity and will always deliver over and above expectations.

Ive worked with TTATB on a number of projects now. I find them professional, courteous and diligent at all times. I run re:production, a production company, so it's imperative the information we get from the agency is accurate, correct and up to date to allow us to do our job properly. The better the information and brief, the easier and quicker the job. The relationships they have with their clients are second to none and the work they produce is always excellent. I'd highly recommend them to any client.

The team at The Traveller and the Bear are always a pure delight to work with. We are so pleased with the relationship we have developed and are confident this great relationship will continue as we work together more in the near future!
