Sad Monkey Memories

People often ask how we thought up the name for Sad Monkey Media. There have even been requests to meet the monkey who they assume swings around our offices in between writing blogs. But the true answer is part of our Panhandle heritage, and a story we’d love to share.

Many trains capture the public imagination and refuse to set it free. The classy and mysterious Orient Express, the sprawling Trans-Siberian Railway. There are even the lost trolley cars of downtown Amarillo, Texas, the remnants of their tracks still slumbering beneath the pavement, awaiting the trolleys’ return. The founders of Sad Monkey Media — our Prime Primates, if you will – named our agency for a little engine that could, the Sad Monkey Railroad.
