What Makes Us So Special?

Who do you trust when you need a balloon tethered in difficult conditions to a global television audience of 2 billion people?

The Aerial Display Company has achieved unparalleled success, organising and managing special projects for special companies worldwide. 

Our proven USP is getting your brand, in that unique position, for that unique image or media coverage.

Sydney Opera House,  Red Square,   Mount Everest,  Niagara Falls,  Live8,  Wimbledon,  F1 Grand Prix's,  the list goes on...

Companies like the Financial Times, whose flying newspaper continues to make headline news of its own wherever, and whenever, it takes to the skies;  

Or multinational Michelin, whose fleet of Bibendum balloons has given a whole new meaning to the term “high profile” since their centennial launch in the Swiss Alps in 1998.  

Or the Live8 and Make Poverty History teams who scheduled an 8-day high impact, multi location itinerary under the focus of the world's media and leading nations.

Or data printer market leader Star Micronics, whose two sponsored balloons were the first to soar over the summit of Mount Everest - the world’s highest mountain.  

Or industry giant ICI, who in 1988 backed round-the-world contender Per Lindstrand's amazing flight to 65,000 ft smashing the world altitude record.

Or global telecommunications brand, Motorola, whose high-flying flip phone - at 162 ft tall, the biggest mobile phone in the world - generated tens of thousands of calls for the company during its five-year aerial reign;  

Or educational publisher Longman-Chronicle, who sent the world’s biggest book into the air - in fact, the world’s THREE biggest books;  

Or US publishing group Primedia, whose Daily Racing Form special shaped balloon flew the fast tracks around North America and made the horse racing world look up in wonder.  

In all cases the return on investment has out-surpassed all other media by a considerable margin.

We are more, much more, than simply a balloon operator. We’re a one-of-a-kind marketing, public relations and promotions company, who carefully exploit the unique potential of hot air balloons to promote our clients’ services, products, branding and image; often at significant additional benefit to corporate good causes.
