Poke The Bear

We are Poke The Bear™ because that’s what we do. We poke. We prod. We provoke. And our clients prevail with ownable brand stories that stick. Unafraid and newly unlayered, renowned advertising creative director duo Bill Milkereit and Todd Tucker have broken free from the big, process-packed ad agency world and set out to do more of what they love: listen harder for the problem, dig deeper for the answer and then tell it – and sell it – with uncommon craft and conviction. Fact is, every brand has its bear of a challenge. Could be boring ads. Could be lack of awareness, a misperception, a crowded shelf. Or it could be a big, slow creative partner that’s neither all that creative nor much of a partner. Regardless, our approach is always the same: Earn supreme trust, weed out the truth from the marketing b.s, and then give brands a swift kick in the personality pants. Our wheelhouse? Working in lockstep with any client, big or small, who knows they can’t afford to blend in. Our track record? Notorious for creating disruptive campaigns that rile up competitors, win over tough audiences, and produce on cue and over time. Skins on the wall? Full wall, please check it out on our website. What bear of a challenge faces your brand? Let’s get after it together.
