We make you really funny

(and not just ‘funny, for a brand’)

Deadpan exists for two reasons.

One, to make B2B brands impossible to ignore.
And two, because we’ve always wanted to own a big photocopier.

We make social-first comedy ads that actually get watched. Smart strategy, character-led humour, real results ($240k from one ad, for example.)

Turns out being funny is serious business.

Awkward introductions in tiny boxes

Portrait of Luke Winter

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.

Portrait of Ronnie Bushell

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.

Portrait of Joe Kershaw

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.

Portrait of Will Carmen

Will Carman - DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Will has shot all there is to be shot in the world of brand content and creative advertising. Will has the instincts of a puma, if pumas wore nose rings and never made anyone a goddam cup of tea.

Portrait of Kat Brown

Kat Brown - PRODUCER

Can source strong talent, secure locations and make a very convincing fake bush. She once strapped a rubber duck to her head for a shot. This is producing, apparently. Also, Kat has a cat.

Portrait of Summer Reynolds

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.

Portrait of Morty, the cartoon skeleton mascot of Deadpan

Mortimer Skellington - Mascot

Technically dead. Still more expressive than most brands.
Stands in photos.
Sits on our merchandise.
Gets more attention than any of us.
