“We wrote a month’s worth of awesome social posts in a couple of hours – just by playing this game. Brilliant!”
Is it a marketing tool? 100% – these fill-in-the-blank templates will help you write entertaining, engaging social posts without breaking a sweat.
Is it a training? Kinda. The more you use the cards, the more you’ll realise how simple it is to write brand-safe jokes that your audience will love. And this is a much more fun (and more affordable) way to learn.
Is it a game? Absolutely. If you want it to be. You can play it like a game (it’s great fun to play – alone or with the team), or you can just work through the templates one by one. Whatever works for you.

On FB, the average post is shown to just 5.5% of your audience. On Twitter, only 3.6% of your followers see the average tweet. You’re paying for content that 95% of your audience will never even see. (Now you know how the Specsavers marketing team feels). *
* For those of you outside the UK, Specsavers is a brand of opticians. Sure – we could’ve just said “an opticians” to make sure you all got the joke – but then we wouldn’t have been able to hang out together down here by this asterisk.
When your content gets more engagements (reactions, likes, shares, comments) it gets rewarded – by being shown to more and more people.
If twice as many people see your posts each day – that’s twice as many potential customers, clients, or prospects given a chance to think about you and how you can change their world (and you can order twice as many oysters to go with your celebratory champagne).
Comedy content gets your audience talking – well, laughing AND talking – and that means – the Holy Grail: comments.
Discussion of the topic, people sharing their own stories, sharing their own jokes, sharing inappropriate pictures (there’s always one) and even people just commenting to tell you how much they loved that post – whatever their reason for responding – every comment counts.*
Plus, jokes work best – and travel further – when they’re based around a hidden truth. And thanks to the nature of branded comedy, that truth is always going to be one your audience wholeheartedly agrees with – which leads to Likes and Shares. Your audience telling the world that you’re funny, and you’re right.
* (And FYI – if your target market is Transylvania, every count will comment).
Comedy Content directly drives engagement, which in turn increases Organic Reach, and that can mean exponentially increased ROI.
And that’s before we even begin to dig into the psychology of why comedy content is so effective in and of itself as a marketing material.
I’m Adam Hunt – a TV Producer turned Copywriter who loves it when brands make us laugh, and hates how rarely that happens.
There’s an art to writing jokes that work for brands – and a science that makes sure the end result is on-brand, on-message and won’t get you cancelled.
I brought together TV’s best comedy writers* as the White Label Comedy Hive-Mind, to help brands of all shapes and sizes entertain, engage and sell.**
* (not as hard as it sounds – they were all in the same branch of Starbucks complaining about the WiFi).
** I keep them in a small bucket on my coffee table, occasionally feeding them episodes of Cheers.
“Adam I think I’m in love with you and your team! Amazing work.”
Not every brand can afford to hire a hive-mind of TV’s best comedy writers to run their socials (and to be honest – there wouldn’t be enough of us to go around if they could) – but luckily, not every brand needs to.
All of the lessons we’ve learnt using comedy to help our own clients entertain, engage and sell can be easily shared.
There was no playbook for this kind of content before we came along – but we’re writing one.
The psychology of comedy in marketing, tactics that help (and those that hinder) engagement, the secret to writing brand-safe jokes, and all the techniques you’ll ever need to craft them.
You need a speedy route to quick wins, an autobahn of banter if you will (you won’t? Right you are). A way to generate content that will entertain, engage and sell in record time. And that’s exactly what Brands Against Mundanity provides you.
Each card contains several blanks that need to be filled in, tips on how best to use each space, and an example that shows how a big name brand might use the template.
You can work through the templates alone, or get the whole team together and turn it into the most productive team-building game you’ll have played this century.
We also recommend a drink or four. Just be sure to recheck your posts when you’re sober. You might live to regret the one where you called out your ex as a ‘lazy, feckless ratboy’ on behalf of the company on Twitter.
We could give you some BS about our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint here – truth be told, while of course we’re big on sustainability, we just want to be able to get Brands Against Mundanity into your hands as affordably as possible.
A digital download means we’re able to keep prices low – and for those of you who do want to play it as a physical card game, all of our PDFs are print-and-play ready.
Nope. Used properly, two different brands could use the same cards to write two completely different jokes.
The prompts relate directly to the world of your audience, and the relatable truths that matter to them – the formats simply present these relatable truths in the form of a joke.
That also means you can use each format multiple times for a single brand – a different set of relatable truths will give an entirely different joke.
If Brands Against Mundanity doesn’t help you craft social media posts you love, in record time, just send us an email in the next 30 days with a snapshot of the posts from your first playthrough and we’ll send all your money back, no questions asked.
Our online checkout is safe, secure, and fully encrypted – with payment made via either Stripe, or Paypal – both of which have in-built buyer’s payment protection as standard.
