For advertisers

Reach the unreachable, street by street.

Curb is street-level media for London: full-HD screens on delivery riders’ bags, at eye level on streets no billboard can reach. Book the whole city, or just the streets and hours that matter to you.

Why street level

Curb reaches the people, places and moments other media miss.

People

People who block ads, skip them or stream ad-free still walk down the street. Curb’s screens sit at eye level, and there’s nothing to skip.

Places

Curb doesn’t need planning permission or a fixed site, so it runs on pedestrianised streets, down side roads and outside venue doors, where billboards can’t go.

Moments

Creative changes by zone and time of day. You could run a match-day message outside the stadium and a lunch offer in Soho on the same afternoon.

Geo-fenced creative

Your creative changes with the street.

Draw a zone around the streets you care about and set what plays there, hour by hour. When a rider crosses into the zone, the screen swaps to your zone creative. When they leave, it goes back to your network creative. The switch is automatic, so the rider never has to touch the screen.

A rider's route through a geo-fenced zone. The screen switches to the zone's creative on entering and back to network creative on leaving. Soho zoneEnters zonePlays BLeaves zonePlays A12:40

Questions

Advertiser FAQ

What is street-level media?

Advertising that moves through the street at eye level. Curb puts full-HD LCD screens on delivery riders’ bags, so your ad reaches the side roads and pedestrianised streets that fixed sites can’t.

Where in London does Curb run?

Curb is launching across London. The media pack shows coverage zone by zone, and founding partners get first choice of zones.

Can I target a specific area or time of day?

Yes. You choose which creative plays in each zone and at what times, and the screen switches automatically as riders move. You could run one message in Soho at lunch and another in Shoreditch on a Friday night.

How do I know my ad played?

Every play is logged with a timestamp, a GPS position and a screen ID. You can watch plays on a live dashboard, and agencies can take the raw data by feed or API.

How do you estimate audiences?

We estimate impressions for each play from where and when it ran. There are no cameras in the bags. The media pack sets out the method in full.

What creative can I run?

Video and static, built for a full-HD LCD screen. Creative can also update from live data. Full specs and file guidelines are in the media pack.

How much does it cost?

It depends on how many screens, zones and dayparts you book. Founding partners book at launch pricing. Request the media pack and we’ll send current rates.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. We work with brands directly and with media and creative agencies. Agencies can plan and report with our data feed and API.
