• Strategy & Consumer Research - Our work stands the test of time because it’s not only on strategy, it’s on truth. And it’s true because we are relentless in our pursuit of emotionally resonant, universal insights.

  • Branding & Advertising - Video, audio, digital, OOH, in-store, email, social, anti-social, you name it. No matter the touchpoint, giving brands a swift kick in the personality pants — that’s our wheelhouse.

  • Logo Design & Identity - Setting an exact standard for how a brand looks, feels and behaves graphically — the backbone of any brand — never mailed in on our watch.

  • Content Creation & Video Production – As small and scrappy or as full-tilt as you need it, we’re not just thinkers, we’re makers. And we make sure the idea only gets better every step of the way.

  • Media Planning & Buying - A myth Poke The Bear loves to dispel: Creative and media strategy must stay separate. Nope. It all must work in lock-step to create meaningful interactions between consumers and brands. We never default to cookie-cutter media buys. Instead custom, dynamic consumer-centric strategies are always the plan.

Poke The Bear was founded in 2023 by clutch creative director duo Bill Milkereit and Todd Tucker. Fresh from the big ad agency world of The Richards Group and beyond, they have carefully built a team with a long, famous track record of breaking category rules, cracking brand codes, and winning countless accolades. And they’ve got the skins on the wall to prove it.
