Engel is playful, slyly winking on these questions; riffing, for example, on age-old misogynistic associations of women’s genitals with fish, as when Lou buys fish for the bear, which repels her.

The Girl&Bear senior leadership team will report into VCCP London’s Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Peake and VCCP’s Group Chief Creative Officer, Darren Bailes. The new studio will draw together 250 staff across VCCP, with the group saying it will still work with external production agencies.

When Bear was first published, to great acclaim and some controversy, the feminist and women’s liberation movements had been burgeoning for some years in North America and Europe. While the utopian hopes of the 60s had fractured, legislative change had been enacted around abortion, contraception, and equal pay. Arguments for equality and freedom were unfolding alongside internal divisions as to what this freedom would look like. In the late 70s, the emphasis on the right to have a sexuality would be critiqued as the preserve of a largely white cohort, by feminists of colour for whom their own depiction as inherently sexual was a greater source of violence. At the time Engel was writing feminists were grappling with men as objects of desire, who can nonetheless always pose a threat I don't know if I'll see next Christmas': Linda Nolan 'cries her eyes out' as she shares a heartbreaking cancer update and explains why the festive season is 'more poignant' this year Girl & Bear is a new content production offering from VCCP Group, which promises to deliver production services and technology to its clients around the world.

Challenging the modern production dilemma of choosing between beautifully crafted creative, or efficient delivery of assets at scale, Girl&Bear will deliver craft without compromise. Their proprietary software, ‘The Pathway’ will enable technology and a human approach to work seamlessly together enabling cutting-edge content creation, adaptation and transcreation or, increasingly, more personalised content delivered through the clever use of data. The system is designed to guide clients through the increasingly complicated world of multi-format, multi-language and dynamic creative production and enable the delivery of crafted work at scale and pace, across all channels. Bringing cutting-edge technology and automation into the production process in the right way, at the right moments will ensure Girl & Bear’s makers around the world can work more efficiently as well as give clients a seamless delivery experience. Young said Girl&Bear would engage in sustainable production practices from the outset and is working with Greenshoot and AdGreen to ensure the right measures are in place. The studio is already working towards B Corp status, the group said.

Most of the big networks are introducing similar offerings, often with great success: a year ago, Publicis Production, along with MediaMonks, won Mondelez International’s global content production and management business. Adam&eveDDB relaunched Cain & Abel earlier this year by merging it with DDB’s Gutenberg Global. With 250 “makers” already on board, the launch of Girl & Bear (named after VCCP’s logo) is essentially a way to consolidate and clarify of an existing offering, and presumably make more money in this increasingly lucrative area.
