Crazy Bear appoints Fortitude Communications

The iconic lifestyle venue Crazy Bear has appointed Fortitude Communications to manage its strategic communications.

Fortitude will deliver the Stadhampton venue’s PR, influencer management and marketing activations, working in partnership with the Crazy Bear’s team.

Crazy Bear is a luxury hotel like no other, unapologetically decadent, original and like nowhere else on earth. Set in the Oxfordshire countryside Crazy Bear Stadhampton is its original venue and a place where guests relax and switch off from the outside world. 

Earlier this year Crazy Bear was acquired by new owners who secured Crazy Bear’s future and have significantly invested in exciting improvements to the venue. Fortitude will help expand awareness of the Stadhampton venue’s comeback story and re-establish it as the region’s ultimate destination. 

Crazy Bear features 18 bedrooms, a pub, two restaurants, and vast indoor and outdoor event space.
