About The Bear

Why bears? Who are we? Where are we? Why are we doing this? Why is this important? Why should you care?

ONCE UPON A TIME

There lived a bear.

Lovely to meet you, friend. I am the Founder and CEO of House of Bear Creative.

Oh, hi there! I am the Chief of Operations and Co-owner here at House of Bear Creative. I’m also the brilliant, refreshing, and creative mind behind all things marketing and strategy that The Bear dips its toes into. First off, I knew from a young age that I wanted to have my own business. Now? I get to live out that dream while helping women build strong, stand-out presences online and in their communities. This is what I was meant to do. Everything we do in this house is done with purpose, strategic data and proven methods. Offering a luxury solution, an unforgettable life-changing experience, to brands that are ready to lead. Are you one?

Why Bears?

Years back, our CEO made choices that would change her life forever. Anna Brown, CEO and Founder of House of Bear Creative, made a choice to live. She has been a mental health advocate and a voice for suicide awareness & prevention. She made it through her own journey during that difficult time in her life in survival mode. She compared it to a mama bear surviving to protect her cubs. When she started this small side project, she had no idea that it would develop into the powerhouse dreamy reality that it is today. There have been necessary changes to make the brand more moldable and professional, but the root of the brand stays the same. The daily reminder that we may be exhausted and always tired, but we move forward anyway. There’s always just enough energy to make it through another day.
