Little Bear Studios

What Little Bear Studios does

Little Bear Studios is a privately held, boutique creative production collective founded in 2021 and headquartered in Los Angeles, with a secondary office in New York. The company provides commercial, branded, and documentary content production services to mission-based enterprise and mid-market clients across fashion, beauty, food and beverage, wellness, luxury, and consumer lifestyle categories. Its core offerings span stills photography, video and TVC production, animation and motion graphics, post-production, content development and strategy, creative direction, and creative consulting, with a recently formalized AI-content generation capability integrated into the production workflow.

The studio operates a project-based professional services model, with revenue generated per engagement and pricing quoted based on scope, talent, and production requirements. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on portfolio work, industry reputation, and direct client outreach through the website, Instagram (@littlebearcreates), and email newsletter; no intermediary channels or marketplaces are used. The firm differentiates through a values-aligned positioning — inclusive casting, green production practices, and an annual donation of profits to education, social, and environmental justice organizations — alongside white-label creative support offered to agencies.

Operationally, the company runs with a small core team (1-10 employees), with co-founders Kate Galliers (EP) and Thomas Beckner (Creative Director) anchoring creative leadership, supported by a senior producer and an executive operations specialist based in Buenos Aires. The named client portfolio includes Ferrari, goop, GE CAFÉ Appliances, Masterclass, Tiffany & Co., Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Stanley, Outdoor Voices, Philips Sonicare, Rare Beauty, Bonterra Vineyards, and the International Rescue Committee, among others. There is no disclosed funding, no external institutional investors, and no M&A activity.
