Our people

Claire Young Managing Director

Claire has been making for over 20 years with experience working at some of the industry’s most well respected creative agencies including Mother, exposure, JWT and VCCP.

At Girl&Bear, Claire is bringing together the best makers in the world to collaborate, create and make the best possible work for our clients.

Dan has been managing projects and programmes both client-side and at top-tier London agencies for the last 15 years. As our Global Head of Operations, Dan works with our makers across the world to tailor-make the best production solutions for our clients.

Andrew Peake CEO

Andrew wears two hats: he’s the CEO of VCCP and Girl&Bear. He joined the agency over a decade ago and has worked with a number of high-profile clients, relaunching both easyJet and Canon in Europe. His dual role ensures that VCCP’s world-class creative and strategy flows through into everything we produce as Girl&Bear.

Darren Bailes Chief Creative Officer

Darren joined VCCP over 13 years ago and has gone on to create nation’s most favourite campaign in Compare the Market, put Cadbury back in the heart of the nation with ‘there’s a glass & a half in everyone’, and encouraged everyone to ‘be more dog’ with O2 along the way.

Now as Chief Creative Officer globally, Darren will oversee creative output across VCCP and Girl&Bear, looking for the best possible creative and production solutions for all of our clients.

Anthony Austin Head of Exec Production

Anthony is a true hybrid, combining creative, production and commercial experience. His previous roles include developing creative production facilities at Mother and more recently at BBH, were he founded Black Sheep Studios.

Anthony will be focused on ensuring standards of craft in Girl&Bear are world-class, while looking for opportunities to establish new working practices, and exploring non-traditional approaches to creative and production.
