[ About / The Studio ]

We don't
monkey around -
unless it's with ideas.

At Monkey Business, we don't monkey around — unless it's with ideas. Founded by two best friends who survived agency life and started their own monkey business, we deliver end-to-end design for every kind of brand collateral — from the first concept to final rollout.

Mascot
[ The short version ]

Two best friends.
One monkey business.

We met in agency life, survived the deck-at-midnight years together, and eventually walked out to do the work the way we wanted to do it. No layers between the strategy and the execution. No juniors presenting someone else's thinking. Just the two of us, a small crew we trust, and a short list of brands we can name on sight.

The studio runs on a simple promise: strategic, seamless, and with a hint of mischief. We make sure every piece works beautifully, speaks clearly, and leaves a mark. From the first concept conversation to the final production file, the same pair of eyes stays on the project. You never get handed off.

The mascot came later — half joke, half logo, now the most booked member of the team. He shows up on every business card, every email sign-off, and occasionally in person when the brief calls for it.

[ How we work ]

Six things
we believe.

01

Small over big.

We cap the studio at 12 full-time people. Past that, the Slack messages start to cost more than the craft.

02

Craft isn't decoration.

A well-kerned headline will outsell a poorly kerned one. A fast website converts better than a slow beautiful one. Craft is commercial.

03

Say the hard thing.

If your brief is broken we will tell you. If a strategy won't hold, we will say so on day three, not month three.

04

Fewer, better meetings.

One kickoff, weekly 30-minute reviews, one presentation per phase. No status calls. Everything else is written.

05

Nothing leaves the room.

The people you meet are the people doing the work. No outsourced juniors, no freelancer chains you never see.

06

Have a good time.

It turns out the best work happens when the studio isn't miserable. Radical, we know.

[ The crew ]

Who's actually
doing the swinging.

Two founders, a small crew of craftspeople on permanent retainer, and a mascot who does not respond to emails. Every project has a named lead. No floating accounts team, no outsourced juniors.

[ How we work ]

From your first
message to
results you can see.

01

You reach out

Fill in our project form or drop us a WhatsApp. Tell us what you are building, what you need, and when. No long email needed. A few sentences is fine.

Contact form or WhatsApp
02

We send a questionnaire

We send you a short, focused brief to fill at your own pace. It takes about 20 minutes. It covers your audience, your goals, what you like, and what you are trying to achieve. No jargon.

Takes around 20 minutes
03

We go through it together

Once you fill it in, we set up a 45-minute call. We go through your answers, ask the questions that need follow-up, and make sure we fully understand what you need before we start.

45-minute briefing call
04

Research

We study your market, your competitors, your audience, and the brands operating in your space. We look at what is working in your category and where the gaps are. Then we start building a point of view.

Before we sketch a single thing
05

We build the plan

We put together a clear strategy and present it to you. This covers what we are making, why, and how it will work. You tell us what is right, what is wrong, and what we missed.

No surprises, no guesswork
06

Design, copy, build

We make the work. Design, content, code, photography - whatever your project needs. You get regular check-ins and progress updates. Nothing goes quiet for weeks.

Structured review rounds
07

You approve, we launch

Two structured feedback rounds. Clear comments, defined revisions, a finish line. Once approved, we ship. Files are handed over cleanly with everything your team needs to use them.

Clean handover, no loose ends
08

Track results and grow

We track what is working and share honest results. If something is not performing, we say so. If there are clear next steps to build on the work, we help you take them. We care about what happens after delivery.
