Austin-based agency will produce original commercial photography for Fresh Monkee’s newly opened downtown Austin location
AUSTIN, Texas — September 18, 2026 — Fresh Monkee Austin, the newest shop from the better-for-you shake franchise, has partnered with ADLG Marketing to produce original commercial photography for its downtown location at 827 W 12th St, in the ground-floor retail space of The Shoal apartments near Clarksville and West Sixth. ADLG Marketing is shooting the space, the menu and the everyday customer experience so the shop has its own photography for the menu board, delivery app listings, its website and social channels, rather than relying on corporate stock imagery.
The Austin location is owned by Pablo Vidal Areán, who is also Fresh Monkee’s Chief Marketing Officer. Vidal joined the brand’s leadership team in 2025 after more than 20 years in brand and growth roles at P&G, LG and Telefónica, where he served as global brand director, and after helping scale the boat-rental marketplace Boatsetter to a $500 million valuation. He also teaches brand and growth strategy as a professor at IE Business School in Madrid. Vidal is based in Austin and operates the downtown shop alongside his corporate role.
Fresh Monkee was founded in 2014 by Judy Flynn in Wethersfield, Connecticut, on a simple idea: build every shake with high-quality protein, real fruit and vegetables, and natural nut butters instead of the added sugar and shortcuts common at juice bars and smoothie chains. The brand launched its franchise program in 2022, has sold more than 1.5 million shakes, and now operates across more than a dozen states. Actor Mario Lopez is also an investor in the brand, backing its expansion into new markets. The Austin shop sits in one of downtown’s busiest walk-in corridors, a few blocks from Whole Foods’ flagship store and the Seaholm district.
“Fresh Monkee has a look that’s easy to shoot well once you spend some time in the space,” said Adrian De La Garza, founder of ADLG Marketing. “Downtown Austin gets a lot of foot traffic, so we wanted photos that hold up wherever Fresh Monkee puts them, whether that’s the menu board, a DoorDash listing or an Instagram post.”
Fresh Monkee Austin is located at 827 W 12th St, Austin, TX 78701, and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Follow the shop on Instagram at @thefreshmonkee. Businesses in food and beverage, franchising, or any other industry looking for original commercial photography or a broader ad strategy can connect with ADLG Marketing.
