Curious Media officially started doing business in 2004. It wasn’t Randy Jamison's first attempt, but it was his last. 20 years later and we are still at it! In the early years of Curious Media, most of the work we did was for a handful of Boise marketing agencies like Temel aka Zeta Interactive, Oliver Russel, Rizen Creative and Foerstel. These companies mostly relied on Curious Media for our sweet Flash & web development skills. This included a multitude of websites, Flash banners and ad modules (yeah we were responsible for some of those #sorrynotsorry) as well as interactive product demonstrations. It was a great way to cut our teeth in the world of interactive. Through these agencies we had the opportunity to work on projects for HP, Cisco, Juviderm, Citibank and a bunch of Idaho local organizations like The Idaho Potato Commission (#truestereotypes). We collaborated on dozens of projects with some really amazing project managers, creative directors and marketing professionals like: Chris Blakeman Heidi Dean, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, CSPO Tim Nichols Aubrey Abbott Erika Molchan-Evans Ron Baker Holly Funk Russ Stoddard Heidi Kelly And many more…  We were so thankful for the guidance and trust that we received from these experienced marketing pros. We thought that becoming a full service marketing agency was the ultimate goal of Curious Media. In our free time for fun we would make games, animations and weird little widgets like Mr. Alligator (a random sentence generating alligator) and interactive web experiences like Stinkerdoodle (a massive collaborative online drawing space). But we didn't really think this stuff could ever pay the bills.      In 2008 or 2009 one random meeting at a Flash Forward conference in Seattle would change our trajectory. Randy met Claudia Correa Salhab who was there representing Disney Interactive, the group that managed the website for Disney Channel. Claudia was incredibly kind and always responded and provided encouragement each time Randy reached out with his random interactive side projects. Eventually Claudia would help arrange a meeting that led to our first project for Disney. At this point we rapidly pivoted and started focusing almost exclusively on the children’s interactive media space. Somehow we were now getting paid to produce content that we previously only made for fun. 🤯 This went against everything our parents told us about work and the real world! Including a small collage of some of our early Boise agency work! #throwbackthursday

Dan Davies 🚨 is helping a local business this week. He's tracking down leads. A common crime in Brand-to-Localville is when brands don't collaborate with their local partners. Local partners are still getting duped by local agencies. - not providing analytics - letting publishers optimize without any oversight - reporting comes when they decide to send it. So a huge part of our platform is making sure campaigns get launched at scale, without compromising performance 👊. Check out Episode 3.

I love this exercise so much... asking revenue leaders to identify the force and friction at every stage of their flywheel. Marketing Friction: Content (what are ways people can learn about product or service?) Sales Friction: How long does it take someone to get in touch with you? Service Friction: How can a customer learn and self-serve? How do they continue to see value with your product or service? But then, as Ryan Harris called out, what are the activities, processes, or systems that might SEEM like they create friction, but in practice, that friction CAN be a competitive force. My favorite part of this is that no matter what industry you're in, whether it's professional services or SaaS or manufacturing or higher education or healthcare, we can have an engaging, productive discussion about what works (and what doesn't) within our organizations. We can learn so much from each other, regardless of GTM strategy or industry vertical!

🤔 Why does a website design cost so much? One of the most common business questions. A great website is a solid investment. Knowing how to budget for it tough, too. You get what you pay for. Yes, pricing from a web design agency will be different than a solo vendor. Why? You’re getting a team of multi-disciplinary experts: 👷🏽‍♀️ Your project manager keeps you informed and everything on schedule 👨🏽‍🎨 The user experience or creative design is being done by a graphic designer specializing in websites 👩🏽‍💻 The developer has likely developed dozens if not hundreds of websites 🎥 The same goes for the copywriter, photographer and videographer, SEO specialist, and more. It’s crucial to remember that the web design and development are just two of the four costs of a website. Learn about the other two costs of a web design project here: https://lnkd.in/gSQ2hFGt
