I few weeks ago we were asked by someone about our company name and how we had come up with it. He simply stated that he was interested in knowing these things about companies and we couldn’t have been happier with the question—after all, we love to tell the story!
Big Sur
Otter Creative Studio’s name concept started with a family vacation trip to Big Sur, California. About 30 miles north lies a beautiful, coastal city, Monterey, where otters live. We fell in love with the animal and the online marketing and web design company name was born—and the rest, like they say, is history.

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park
We had the opportunity to go back about a month ago and we decided to check out the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. It is beautiful down there and if you enjoy nature imagine being there!
As Wikipedia puts it:
“Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is a state park in Monterey County, California, near the area of Big Sur on the state’s Central Coast. It covers approximately 1,006 acres (4.07 km2) of land. The park is centered on the Big Sur River. It has been nicknamed a “mini Yosemite.” A Redwood tree in the park nicknamed the Colonial Tree is estimated to be between 1,100 and 1,200 years old.”
