The following is the first of a regular column appearing on BalloonPong that will spotlight successful and innovative events and balloon marketing programs. Balloons have a variety of applications in the world of marketing and here we will explore some of the programs and events that make the Business of Ballooning successful.

This is the second time the NFL contracted with Aerosports Inc. after a very successful 2008 campaign in Phoenix. The team battled snow, ice, and wind at nearly every inflation this year to earn excellent media coverage and a very pleased customer. More..

Well, we’re back from Texas and a great Super Bowl XLV week of what turned out to be some of the most extreme ballooning we’ve done in a long time. Neither snow, nor sleet, nor freezing rain could keep us from inflating the beautiful Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers hot air balloons at NFL and Super Bowl events.
Randy and I along with Tim at THC Associates send out a BIG thank you to our team for all of their hard work and determination in Arctic -like conditions. Pilots Kevin Flanagan and Sean Askren who can command a balloon in any situation, to Amy Askren for hundreds of magnificent photos, Sandy Graf for local logistic help and the willingness to help with anything else. Luck was on our side that Louisville pilot Matt Clinton just arrived in Dallas to do his college internship and Hector Ramos on hiatus from Napa Vally, CA provided the best crew help anyone could ask for.
