| Growth Capital: Cultivating an advertising firm just came naturally to Anthony 24 September 2012 London Evening Standard The business card of Anthony Ganjou, founder of Curb Media, is not any old business card.

Nature is powerful as a means to engage with people, he says We are not your average advertising company. We like to be different. And different they are.

| Malinky The Kinkajou - Update 25 November 2010 Malinky The Kinkajou Update: Malinky has been continuing to enjoying his newly refurbished enclosure. He is making use of all the equipment. Climbing on the branches and sitting in his new hides. Malinky appears to be quite happily enjoying his own company and his behaviour with the keepers is still improving. He will now sit on their laps and eat treats.. It is believed that Malinky is approximately 4-5 years old and would now considered to be fully grown and is the average size for a male Kinkajou. I enquired as if to one day Malinky would have a mate, but this might cause his behaviour to change dramatically if we were to pair him with a female. So, This is not something that will be considering at this time. Such an event would need great planning. As, firstly an appropriate female would need to be located. She would have to be a perfect match because if they were incompatible and fought, they could seriously injure each other. Kinkajous are generally solitary animals but it may be something that could be considered in the future. Kinkajous can live for up to 25years, so there will be plenty of time to search for the perfect mate when the time arrises. Read More >> |

CURB prides itself on delivering above and beyond expectations. To date, we have generated thousands of pounds of awareness and publicity for our clients and depsite the "current climate" (we HATE that term btw) CURB is growing locally and globally.

Only that the core subject for the talk about the future of advertising was: Why Smart Environmental Marketing is Good for Business and the Planet. As one of the first companies in the world committed to true environmental marketing, we reckon that Mr Jones is actually a secret CURB fan and spreading the gospel across the US on our behalf.
