We make you really funny
(and not just ‘funny, for a brand’)
Deadpan exists for two reasons.
One, because we believe in the power of humour to help brands grow their audience and win more customers. And two, because we’ve always wanted to own a big photocopier.
We’re a comedy production agency that carefully blends marketing with mischief – and we see it as our duty to offer compelling proof to all our customers (and all their bosses) that funny ad campaigns, and content, can help any brand succeed.
‘Content that converts’ is a slightly wanky phrase, but that’s essentially the philosophy behind everything we do. It’s never just about cheap laughs and funny for funny’s sake. We exist to help you find your true funny side, and use that to give your business an extraordinary edge.
Awkward introductions in tiny boxes
Luke Winter - Founder & Creative Director
Chief of all things creative, strategic and chucklesome, Luke is a Royal Television Society award-winning director (ooh fancy) and an experienced agency leader in the world of advertising content for brands who can’t afford to blend in.
Spends an unreasonable amount of time styling his hair.
RONNIE BUSHELL - EDITOR / COLOURIST
Ronnie could edit the nose off your face, if indeed that’s what you’d asked him to do, which seems unlikely. Edits the kind of comedy content that makes audiences gasp, stare and perhaps snort a little warm tea out of the nostrils.
Joe Kershaw - DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Brings cinematic beauty to B2B without rolling his eyes - even whilst shooting a fake prostate exam sketch on what turned out to be an adult film set. Born in the wrong era. He is also bald.
Will Carman - DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Legend of the lens, Will has shot all there is to be shot in the world of brand content and creative advertising. The perfect combination of technical brain, artistic eye and steady hand, Will has the instincts of a puma, if pumas wore nose rings and never made anyone a goddam cup of tea.
Kat Brown - PRODUCER
Can source strong talent, secure locations and make a very convincing fake bush.Once strapped a rubber duck to her head for a shot. This is producing, apparently.
Also, Kat has a cat.
Summer Reynolds - PRODUCTION ASSISTANT
Carries more equipment than health & safety would ever approve. Shoots behind the scenes, boosts morale and never stops talking. Ever.Has a tattoo of a naked lady she insists on showing people.
Mortimer Skellington - Mascot
Technically dead. Still more expressive than most brands.
Stands in photos. Sits on merchandise.
Gets more attention than any of us.
It isn't going to push itself.
