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

I just saw this. Thank you for posting this, it made me smile to see Heidi's name mentioned. It is hard to believe it has been over two years since she passed away. She loved working with you guys!
