ABOUT

DEAN PRODUCTIONS

Melissa Dean Lindsey,
Founder & Executive Producer

Melissa Dean started her interest in film production early, producing her first video in the sixth grade. Over the next 15+ years (you do the math), she worked to build the strong reputation and loyal client portfolio she has today.

Melissa began as a broadcast commercial associate producer before spending 10 years with Ron Berg Studio as producer for both video and still photography campaigns. She founded Dean Productions in 2015 to serve the advertising and production service needs of both heavy-hitting agencies and up-and-comers across Kansas City and the country.

Dean Productions is best known for animal welfare projects, testimonials, lifestyle libraries and turning clients into friends.

Melissa and her husband are proud furparents to JuneBug (meow) and Cooper (woof). The highlights of her summer are the annual family hiking trip and a cold drink on a sunny patio.

ABOUT
Dean Productions 051019_ 90-Final.jpg

"I have known Melissa for many years now. You know why? Because she get’s it, and gets things done! Otherwise, I would of moved on.

 

Aa a Producer she is always eager, thoughtful, thorough and always has that admirable work ethic! Her warmth and friendiness is infectious which leads to every production whether big or small to be a successful one. Oh, and she never complains, and knows how to handle a “fire” when presented her way. This is why she’s always my go-to producer whenever I can!"

WHAT THEY SAY

"Over the last 2 years+, Melissa has quickly become our go-to producer for any and every production – we simply wouldn’t have it any other way. She brings years of experience that span locations, client categories and budget parameters. And, she has quickly transferred her knowledge from the production side of the business to the agency side of the business, without missing a beat. She’s extremely passionate and driven, with a hunger to continue to learn and grow with every job. She’s always collaborative, constantly pushes to do whatever it takes to get the job done and ultimately, strives to deliver the best work possible. In short, Mel is a true gem in the ad world – KC is lucky to have her!"

- ALISON MUELLER

RED FUSE COMMUNICATIONS

"Melissa is the definition of “cool under pressure”, she is our go-to Producer for all projects, both big and small. I have the utmost respect for her – Melissa is a true professional, I trust her instincts and value her partnership. She asks the questions you don’t even know you should be thinking about! Melissa takes a genuine interest in whatever she works on, and quickly settles in like she’s always been a member of the agency team."
