What's with the name Monkey Budget?
It started as an inside joke in a brainstorm. Someone pitched a wild idea, someone else said, “Well, we don’t exactly have a monkey budget.” It stuck. Because that’s our process: dream big, push the idea too far, then figure out how to make it happen within real-world constraints. Also, “monkey” is just a funny word.
B2B? Wouldn't B2C or DTC be easier?
Sure. But we don’t do easy. We do needed.
B2C has had fun for decades. DTC since Dollar Shave Club.
B2B brands are still trying to make “white paper” sound sexy. We’re here to give B2B the creative attention it deserves—and the personality it’s been missing.
Comedy seems risky. How do you mitigate my risk?
We get it. Making jokes in a professional setting can feel like tap dancing on a minefield. But we approach comedy the same way we approach strategy: deliberately.
Everything we make is tailored to your brand, your audience, and your business goals. You’re not hiring clowns. You’re hiring pros who know how to use humor to get results.
Are you actually funny?
Yes. Objectively. We have the scripts, the punchlines, and the performance chops to prove it.
But don’t take our word for it—watch our work, read the reactions, or ask our moms. They’re very supportive.
What if our brand isn’t "funny"?
You don’t need to be goofy to be effective. Comedy is a spectrum. We help you find the right tone—whether it’s dry wit, charming awkwardness, or just a touch of humanity—and stay true to your voice.
Is this just for external marketing, or do you do internal stuff too?
We do both. Sales kickoffs, internal culture videos, executive comms, recruiting content—if it needs to inform and inspire, we can make it entertaining.
What if leadership won’t buy into this?
Bring us to the meeting. We’ll help make the case with data, strategy, and a well-timed punchline.
Or we’ll win them over the old-fashioned way: slowly, with charm.
Will this still resonate with my audience?
Absolutely. We don’t just write comedy. We write comedy for your customers.
We study your audience, speak their language, and use humor as a tool to connect, not distract.
Do you offer strategy, or just execution?
Both. We can concept, write, produce, direct, edit, optimize, and measure. From “we have no idea what to do” to “here’s a fully baked idea we just need help with”—we’ve got you.
How do you measure success with comedy content?
We measure it the same way you measure any marketing: engagement, recall, conversions, pipeline.
The difference? Ours comes with personality. And sometimes costumes.
Can you work with our in-house team?
We love that. In fact, on our last report card we got an ‘Outstanding’ for ‘plays well with others.’
Collaboration is where the magic happens. We can plug in as your creative partner, extend your team’s capacity, or be the weird kids you call in when you want to shake things up.
What kinds of companies do you work with?
We work with B2B brands that are brave enough to be remembered. Tech, manufacturing, HR platforms, enterprise SaaS—if you have a message and a little courage, we’re in.
Is "Monkey Budget" code for "you’re cheap"?
Not even close. Monkey Budget isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about thinking big, pushing creative limits, and making something magical within your actual budget.
We’re not the cheapest. We’re the most fun-per-dollar.
Can I pay you in bananas?
Only if they’re very ripe and come with a signed PO.
Will there be monkeys involved in our project?
Not unless you insist. And even then, we’ll have to talk to Legal.
Is this just an elaborate excuse to wear costumes at work?
Maybe.
But if those costumes help your brand generate leads, build trust, and break the internet—is that really such a bad thing?
