The UK’s first 100% vertical advertising agency
Stop fighting the thumb. 94% of smartphone users hold their devices vertically—it’s time your advertising did the same.
Widescreen is for the sofa. Vertical is for the frontier.
Traditional 16:9 video was built for televisions. But your clients live on their phones. When you show a wide video on a mobile device, you are leaving 75% of the screen empty. You are fighting for attention against black bars and notifications. Vertical Bear provides 100% screen ownership. We create pure cinematic films designed natively for the mobile experience. No friction. No "rotate to watch." Just pure storytelling.
Authentic storytelling
We bring a "Ritchie-style" pace and a documentary heart to everything we film.
Mobile-first design
We don't just "crop" your story to fit a phone; we build it for the frame.
Episodic content
We create episodic content that builds a "parasocial" bond with your audience.
Don't just post a video—launch a franchise.
Our vertical slate approach takes your brand or story and turns it into a premium mobile event. We bring the grit, the pace, and the cinematic polish of modern British film to the 9:16 frame. It’s time to stop fighting the algorithm and start leading the conversation.
Where stories come alive
We believe the best stories aren't found in a studio—they’re found on the streets of Birmingham, in the heart of a rescue center, and in the hustle of your business. We bring a "Ritchie-style" pace and a documentary heart to everything we film. From high-stakes vertical slates to episodic brand journeys, we capture the grit and the glory in a way that feels real. We don't do "polished" corporate videos. We do authentic films that people actually want to watch. Let us tell your story—exactly how it’s meant to be seen.
Engage your audience
Using our signature fast-paced editing and immersive sound design, we create episodic content that builds a "parasocial" bond with your audience. Whether it’s rehoming dogs or launching a global brand, we ensure your message doesn't just pass through the feed—it sticks. Traditional film was made for the cinema. Traditional ads were made for the TV. But your audience lives in their palm. We don’t just "crop" your story to fit a phone; we build it for the frame.
