About Bearfish
About Bearfish
Bearfish is an advisory, research, production, marketing and strategic services company. We help our clients solve complex problems, especially those that involve understanding why people behave in a certain way and those that require large-scale community buy-in.
We have delivered measurable change for government in traffic management, road safety and public health. Our experience is also applicable wherever evidence-led programmes are sought to bring about positive change.
Research is at the centre of everything we do and the intelligence we collect from this process always informs our approach. We offer more than research and advisory services; we design frameworks and develop, plan and implement innovative systems, interventions and communications strategies that deliver on our clients’ mandates.
We are motivated to have a positive impact on society and always endeavour to do work that is socially responsible.
Our experience is also applicable wherever evidence-led programmes are sought to bring about positive change.

What’s in a name?
The name Bearfish is a combination of the bear and the fish, two creatures that have different strengths but operate together; one is large and ferocious and one is mysterious and hidden. The bear represents groundedness, solidity and credibility, while the fish evokes creativity and agility. Similarly, the Bearfish team brings together different skillsets, that can be seemingly opposite but that complement each other and in doing so create extraordinary and lasting value.
