To celebrate the holiday season Monkey Outta Nowhere adopted an Emperor Tamarin from the nearby Como Zoo. The zoo has seven tamarins in the primate exhibit and we opted to support the smallest of the monkeys for its Seuss-like qualities. It’s always been one of our favorites.
And why support a monkey at all? Como Zoo is a top-notch urban zoo that’s a great low-cost attraction for families (donations are suggested, but not required). That’s a cause worth supporting.
We hope you and your family–and the tamarin’s–have a happy holiday.
In late August Head Monkey Kevin D. Hendricks joined the Personality™ crew on a weekend retreat in the resort town of Big Bear Lake, Calif. The work weekend was a lot of big picture thinking for the future of Personality™.
Consequently the Personality™ blog was brought back to life after a lengthy absence. The company is working to tell the story of their new focus, cause marketing, with a little help from Monkey Outta Nowhere.
Head Monkey Kevin D. Hendricks has jumped into two new roles, the Labs Director for the Center for Church Communication, and the Content Manager for Personality™. Both roles involve loads of writing and content development, and of course, blogging.
Monkey Outta Nowhere has provided content services for both organizations for a few years now, but these new roles mean new work and fancy new titles. And that’s always cool.
Head Monkey Kevin D. Hendricks was interviewed at the church tech site Godbit about his involvement with the church marketing and communications site Church Marketing Sucks.
A Monkey Outta Nowhere story that originally appeared in 2003 was reprinted in the 2005 issue of Orientation magazine.
He hangs with the president and the pope and fronts the biggest rock band in the world. He’s passionate about politics and economics, and he’s as old as your parents. And he has one name: Bono.
The article, “Get Up Off Your Knees: Bono Takes on the World,” explores the faith of rock band U2’s front man and his crusade against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
The Evangelical Press Association annual convention was held this week in Chicago, and during the EPA Awards our very own Kevin D. Hendricks scored fourth place in the Freelance Article category. His piece on Charlie Peacock’s book, A New Way To Be Human, appeared on the Billy Graham youth site passageway.org.
A blog entry Head Monkey Kevin D. Hendricks wrote for the marketing firm Personality™ received a nod from marketing guru Seth Godin (author of Purple Cow). The entry, Seth Godin: Marketing Master in Action, analyzed Godin’s marketing efforts as he prepares to release his next book, All Marketers Are Liars. You can learn a thing or two from how a marketing guru markets. Godin himself mentioned the entry and was “delighted to see that others are picking up the steps I’m trying to follow.”
Godin did point out that the entry neglected to mention his “get a nose, get on my blog” offer, which involves a special liar’s nose (think Pinocchio). Maybe next time.
Our Head Monkey appeared in the Pioneer Press this morning in the story “iPod Nation” (registration required). The story covers people and their interesting uses for the iPod and our founder and president Kevin D. Hendricks uses his iPod to record interviews, which landed him a few quotes, a profile and a picture.
Check out his personal blog for the behind-the-scenes scoop.
