EYE-CATCHING DESIGNS

The Brief

e.l.f. Cosmetics needed a giant 6 metre helium inflatable replica of its skincare product to anchor a brand activation at the Hackney Half Marathon. The brief was to create a bold, highly visible brand moment that boosted awareness among runners and spectators and gave the activation a memorable, photo-friendly centrepiece that would drive organic social sharing.

We had a great experience working with Megaflatables for a three-day event. Owen from the Sales Team was professional, helpful and attentive from start to finish, ensuring our requirements were fully met. The service was excellent, and we would happily recommend them to others looking for a reliable event supplier.
Excellent company! They made us an inflatable ghost for our events. Would highly recommend!

Owen was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! We were a little bit chaotic our end and everything was pretty last minute, but Owen was so helpful, patient and on it throughout. Communication was so easy, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even when he was off John stepped in for some reassuring words when I was updating on progress. Would 100% recommend MegaInflatables. Great service, great people and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks again, Owen!

A huge thank you to Owen for helping us bring our school mascot to life! From our initial ideas to the finished mascot costume, Owen was fantastic throughout the whole process. He was incredibly helpful, professional and worked with us to make sure everything was just right. The finished result is brilliant, and it's been wonderful to see our mascot go from a design on paper to a real-life character that our students can enjoy! We couldn't be happier with the service or the final product. Thank you, Owen – we would highly recommend!

The Result

The installation transformed the Hackney Half activation into a bold, immersive space. The giant inflatable replica brought energy and movement into the event, but more importantly, it had that instant “wow” factor. Inflatables just work for this, they’re big, unexpected, and hard to ignore. People notice them straight away, and more importantly, they remember them. They also photograph really well. The scale, colour, and soft forms make them perfect for social content, so people naturally stop, take photos, and share them without being asked. It turns the space into something more than just a display, it becomes part of the experience. As a result:

01.

A Social Media Magnet

The installation picked up strong organic traction on social media

02.

Photo and Video Ready

Visitors were keen to share photos and videos

03.

The Perfect Backdrop

The race-day activation became an easy, natural backdrop for content

04.

Reach Beyond the Day

The reach of the installation went far beyond the activation itself
