Monkey Outta Nowhere knows content. We think it should communicate for you, telling your story and connecting with people.

Monkey Outta Nowhere knows content. We write and edit content so clear a monkey can understand it and so fun they'll read it again. We make reading cool--from business copy to feature articles--for marketers, nonprofits and publishers who need a hand. It's like having your own helper monkey with an English major. Except we clean up after ourselves.

Projects we've worked on:

Trout Lake Camps: Project 365

Minnesota's Trout Lake Camps celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007 in grand style and used the opportunity to secure funding into the future. They came up with a fund-raising plan called Project 365, an effort to find 365 people willing to donate $1 a day. Taylor Design Works helmed the project and together we created a 32-page booklet that explained the camp's history, legacy and needs going into the future, and then challenged people to join Project 365. read more

In late 2007 Monkey Outta Nowhere launched Start Seeing Art, a local site that maps and identifies public art in the Twin Cities. The project utilizes Google maps and Flickr images, providing descriptions, pictures and detailed locations of public art installations. While still in its infancy (especially design-wise), the site has already been highlighted on the local blog MNSpeak and has mapped over 100 pieces of public art. read more
