The dead poets society – not Sleeping salesmen – never Hibernating – not Just getting up steam for a days work.............. The Godfreys vacuum cleaner people never ever perform their miracles of service without these guys at their side. You got to ask the question - "why"............

An Unforgettable Statement

Image
Go Halls There has got to be a real financial advantage to making an investment in a machine as your sales rep. Having a smiling faced Raver outside your store actually stacks up as a great idea. It makes people smile, its unforgettable as a landmark, and makes your personal statement to the thousands of eyes that look to see what you are. The Our great friends at Hall's Taekwando have been a fan of their Charlie for so many years he’s a black belt and really part of the team – Go Halls -

Heliospheres - A great international teams win.

There are not too many maniacs (thankfully) [except for Keith –] out there who would accept the challenge on behalf of a team, to build in less then a week, 3 – lighter then air lifting platforms. This outrageous concept was to support dancers, gracefully floating, 20m above a cricket ground for the closing ceremony extravaganza of the 2009 IPL cricket competition. Accept the challenge of design, build, deliver and operate them in a turnaround time of 5 working days! Only with the right team. That’s the excitement of being part of a trusted team of professionals who can rise to an occasion of inspiration and deliver an impossible dream. At least with rock climbing, the rocks have a few million years to be made. But in this instance the team leaders for this spectacular event wanted it ready in 5 days. Even in the pressured days of designing of the rigs, nothing was compromised for those creative fellows at Action Safety – http://www.actionsafety.co.za/ - who envisioned and choreogr...

think and develop....?

I was going through my library of my most fun projects and was thinking about our inflatable Buddha. We all so enjoyed the journey, from the discourse with my client, to the manic 30 or so uninterrupted hours to get him finished. All the decisions on how we should translate the clients un-verbalised wishes into a realizing of her dream. Just after that I was reading a letter from a good friend, colleague and highly motivated copy writing guru who has no problem sharing his secrets of getting more clients by communicating with them - which is a really simple matter of fact thing we all have the ability to do. "How does this relate to my word………." Inflatables, clients, my staff, your clients Well at times like we are in today, when the mad levels of activity which blunt our ability to empathise with our surroundings are at an ebb, we get time to think about life in a much more personal way. This makes one realise how little time one spends getting to know those that deliver us ...

Are tents old fashioned?

Image
We get so many calls from Event producers who are looking for a fresh look for their outdoor events. It seems to me that the conventional tent as an exciting venue has lost its appeal. With soft lines, fantastic and exciting lighting options, incredibly cost effective operational expenses, in the set up, storage and removal and quick turn around for production, Inflatable Airframe Buildings and Tents are now the new look "must have" Question – What does the TV show Top Gear Live and Giant Inflatables have in common?

brand marketing and inflatable footy balls

Re branding marketing. There are many ways to get activation when attempting to re brand a company image. Companies like Dick Smith have reinvented themselves and their image many times over the years to stay current with the trends. At the grass roots level where their prospective clients are found on a day to day lifesyle basis, getting their new branding out just means making sure its easy for their partners to use the tools that are supplied as part of that partnership. Inflate and seal products fill this need. They are very easy to use- set up and install. Extremely compact to move and store, and are fantastic backdrops for photographs.

giant inflatable replica ice cream Drumstick

Image
Some projects look simple – but the devil lurks in the detail. When asked to produce an inflatable replica of a Drumstick Ice-cream it seemed simple. Our designers will bear testimony to 3 different models and at least 4 variations on each to get this looking like it will be tasty and delicious. But that’s what we do best. Our reason for being is to make our clients better off for having worked with us. With that company vision, shared by all members of the team we will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. We know that our clients at Maverick Marketing and Communications do the same for their clients. We thank them for trusting that we would eventually get there. We believe they think we did
