BETTER LIVING WITH YOBI MONSTER™

What happens when some visitors from Pluto (We need to talk, Dr. Tyson.) show up at your house and take over your life—something magical and utterly chaotic. These lovable undocumented extraterrestrials have made their first appearance in the nineties and since then have never left my side.
I think it's about time they share their earthly life and observations with the rest of the world and not just live as squatters in my house.

“But they’re just some stuffed animals!” you say. Yeah, that’s what I thought until they cleaned out my fridge.”
— Michaela

Ads While You Wait! – The Yobi Monster Ad Agency

Finally, you too can bring a spark to all your creative needs generating results that are out of this world with Yobi and Yeti. This absolutely groundbreaking ad agency will combine Plutonian strategy and ingenuity with totally-lacking Earth Technology and still generate otherworldly results that are better than mediocre. 


With Yobi and Yeti by Your Side You Can Weather Anything—Even 2018

Just as they did last year, Yobi and Yeti were determined to celebrate the holiday season again. Stormy times cannot deter these two mavericks.

Earth Holidays Are Awesome

The monsters love all of our holidays that involve lots of food and togetherness. So this year they wanted to mail their own holiday cards to friends and family.  Yeti perfected the ginger-monster recipe from my Grandmother Rosa and was eager to share his cookie-making prowess. So we scheduled a professional photo shoot with the photographer extraordinaire Andrew O'Beirne.

 It all starts with an idea.
