"We all have an inner Zest and sometimes the daily grind can make you feel that you have lost your energy and zing. When you do a selfless act it contributes to those around you and will give you a sense of joy and sparkle. The aim of Zestfulness Week is to encourage you to find your inner Zing by doing a Zesty thing."

With a brief like this is was a pleasure to assist Zestfulness getting the word out. We created an eye catching giant sphere that was carried through the streets of London by our operators, a Jazz band and the great people of Zestfulness. Definitely an interesting day for all, and as they say - #zestitforward

We were asked to bring back a huge inflatable that we had previously used in Geneva, Darmstadt and Berlin, and now we were launching the #MakingSCHistory Worm in the Albert Dock at Liverpool for the 11th European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health, to raise awareness of the disease SC. As previously stated, the inflatable was made from 0.4mm PVC Tarpaulin which was made in sections and welded together to give it the shape the customer wanted. This was then connected onto two inflatable pontoons to keep the worm stable so it could float in water. 

For this operation we were working with Merck Group, the Canal and River Trust and Bluepoint Marine who assisted us with the launch and placement of the inflatable. Again, an inflatable of this size required a huge amount of planning, site surveys and logistics to handle safety and correctly to get into the water. With the launching location we had to carefully position the inflatable and inflate it in stages, launching it into the dock section by section and positioning it with the aid of Bluepoint Marine.

"You'll Float Again"

Now that's a great tag line for a movie that we are helping to promote! ESIMedia contacted us to do a promotion for IT Chapter 2, a giant red balloon, so that's what we provided... 3m tall and 2.5m wide, it looked amazing out at County Hall (in conjunction with The London Dungeon) and Camden Market.

We would like to offer our thanks for both these sites letting us use their sites, and despite high winds we had a great event.

One of our installations from last weekend was to install a 12m helium stadium banner again which was installed at the Aviva Stadium in Ireland. 

The event went really well with good weather conditions for this to fly in the stadium for the opening ceremony of the game.

Another great installation by the Imagine crew. 

We were approached to assist creating a fantastic backdrop to go around the world with RuPaul for the "Werq the World" Tour.  

This was a challenge. The client wanted a number of spheres to go on the stage, along with a sun to surround the focal point at the centre. The brief stated that this needed to be fast inflating (under 4 seconds!) to appear exactly when required, and to be collapsible and able to be hidden just as fast. To achieve this we had to design faster running fans and a special structure to gather up the sun when deflating. 

The sun itself had the be a custom design, created with ripstock nylon and MDF wood, which we had to modify and test repeatedly to make sure we could get the correct effects. 

To see it all in action please see: https://youtu.be/iKlcJZoidgc for our youtube clip of the inflatables.

We were recently asked to come up with a way to help Ola Cabs celebrate their anniversary of setting up in Cardiff. After exploring a number of options on a tight timescale we created a giant sphere for them with their logo on that we could have attached to an operator. As a coincidence, it was also Pride on at the same time, so on the Saturday we were walking the parade helping Ola show their pride at starting in the UK in Cardiff.

Imagine made a branded 5m diameter event station made from tarpaulin so it was fully water resistant for outdoor use which also had one removable branded door.

Event stations are great to use as a shelter for outdoor or indoor events and can be made with removable doors so they can be fully enclosed if required. 

We make these to order so can make any size required upto around 12m diameter so call us for a quote today. 

We recently made a 3x3m folding gazebo tent for the NHS which was branded around the canopy roof as per the customers request.

Imagine supply branded gazebos with any print requirement and can also be pantone matched so call us for a quote today.  

We are asked to create an inflatable Vagina blimp to raise awareness around women's incontinence which was meant to be installed in Edinburgh city centre but unfortunately the local council would not give permission for the blimp to fly. 

The blimp is now flying at a rural location just outside of Edinburgh which is being used for press shots to raise awareness of the campaign and get people to sign the petition #LetFannyFly in the hope we can then install the inflatable blimp in the city centre as originally planned.

Our most recent install was at Brighton Pride event last weekend where we installed a giant helium filled footballer character for Paddy Power which was connected with rainbow ribbons to an inflatable football style sphere to give the effect of the footballer kicking the ball.

It is one of the largest helium inflatables we have done for a parade in the UK so far and was certainly the largest inflatable at the pride event! It got lots of attention on the day and people were partying around us as we paraded it down the streets of Brighton so all in all a great fun day for all involved. 

See video link below of us installing/inflating the giant!
