Comedy For Branding
Brands that work best through humour & comedy are brands that don’t take themselves too seriously and have a strong element of fun and social integration (see the Heinz Salad Cream case study at the bottom of the page).
In his career Matthew Willetts (Director) has created award winning artistic solutions for a number of leading brands. This has been achieved by an extensive knowledge of the entertainment industry, mixed with business experience and a clear understanding of the client’s brand. Comicus offers a variety of creative initiatives that present the ideal creative solution. A unique service from conception to delivery.
Comedy Workshops & Training
Comicus Ltd provides a variety of arts based training and informative lectures that can be delivered to groups or to individuals to support corporate initiatives such as team-building, presentation, writing skills, change management or employee motivation. Our aim is to bring the best out of people, enabling them to achieve outstanding creative results.
Comedy workshops have been used for a multiple of corporate initiatives, such as a fun day experience or as a team building exercise involving presentation and writing skills. Emphasis can be placed on different aspects of the course depending on what the delegates want to achieve. The fun starts with looking at how comedy material is written and the different aspects that go into making a good joke or laugh line. This is rolled out by looking at our own life experiences as an inspiration to create relevant funny material.
