Waterbear is a non-profit storytelling project owned and fueled by the Resilient Foundation through private philanthropic investments. The purpose of the foundation is to enable storytellers and filmmakers to take part in changing the world. The streaming platform Waterbear was founded by the Oscar award winning producer Ellen Windemuth (My Octopus Teacher, Netflix 2021) and produces and distributes high-impact yet small local atomic documentaries about the world and the climate changes we are facing. The stories are local, emotional, anchored in storytelling about culture, nature and life of human beings across the globe.
The streaming platform is available in 194 countries (Apple TV and Roky). The platform is completely FREE and we highly recommend anyone to tune in to watch these fantastic and impactful documentaries about our planet and the people who occupy it.

Planning for your next big brand event?
How do we change our behavior towards the use of intimate products? How do you re-brand lube? A stigmatized product most of us hide away in our night drawers.
The two founders behind the sex wellness brand, Julie Herskin and Cecilie Hjelmager want to break with old ideas of intimacy in an outdated industry. Their brand sitre is a new type of wellness brand that views sex and self-indulgence as a vital part of human nature and our own well being.
In 2021 they launched their first product in their honest and inclusive brand universe Feel sitre. The Sex Gel is made from certified organic caring ingredients in Denmark. The popular gel breaks with old taboos about the use of lube as it is beautifully designed to be a staple on your nightstand and as an important part of your everyday life.
It’s called Modern Day Sexiness.

Traditional silk has a very low water footprint and produces almost zero percent waste. At the same time it is biodegradable after just a couple of years compared to synthetic materials that take hundreds of years. Also, it doesn’t emit toxins while it biodegrades like synthetic materials do.
Each bi-annual collection is produced single-handedly by the Mert Ipek factory in Izmir, Turkey, the last stop of the famous silk road. All items are naturally dyed, cut, sewn, packaged and shipped by the Mert factory. Inan Isik supports women and takes pride in empowering their confidence and mental health while securing a steady living standard. Through the whole supplychain and artistic direction of the brand, the priority is to collaborate with female suppliers, producers and artists.
