Our Story
Built for Local Businesses, Born from Local Passion
Review Monkey was born in the digital marketing shop of Talking Monkey Media, based in Richmond, Virginia. We’ve been in business since 2007 and Review Management has always been a huge part of the digital marketing strategies for our clients. Getting positive reviews out of our client’s customers wasn’t always the easiest task. So in 2020, we too the plunge to create a platform to automate and streamline the review management process, greatly increasing the success of our client’s review strategy.

Hi, I’m Blair
The Founder Talking Monkey Media and Review Monkey
This company is my passion. It started as a hobby that soon grew into entrepreneurship as I realized I could use my talents to help local businesses rather than corporate stockholders. The light went off in my head and everything changed for me. When you work with me, you get more than 30 years of experience in the tech industry and web technologies space. You also get dedication and drive, my devotion to small and local businesses, and my commitment to our community. I know my stuff, and I make sure my clients reap the benefits.
I’m a large human with a bold way of making my way through the world. I embrace boldness as a personal and business philosophy. And by that I mean playing to win rather than play not to lose.
I grew up in Florida but have called RVA home for over 30 years. I studied at Virginia Commonwealth University. And I’m an active member of Synapse, a collaborative in which business and nonprofit communities work together for good.
I’m big. I’m bold. I’m Blair. Let’s get to know each other. Me and my team are ready to take your digital presence to the next level.
