Avenue Q - The Musical
"The musical AVENUE Q is all about people dreaming about going up in the world, so what better opportunity for upwardly mobile puppets and our super talented cast, headed by Daniel Boys, to climb aboard this beautiful balloon to celebrate our third year being on top of the world and still London's most outrageously funny, cheeky and original musical."

Triumph International
Exclusive Ballooning approached Triumph International with their creative idea of digitally printing the sloggi campaign onto balloons which had not been done before. The project has been running for five years and we have had six balloons for both Sloggi and Triumph brands which have visited over twenty countries across four continents. Professional, friendly and expert pilots, Exclusive Ballooning also instinctively know where to find the press angle from any situation and this has helped gain significant media coverage from the project. Every press question is answered with the words sloggi, sloggi, sloggi... "

"Andrew Holly and his team went out of their way to help us in our coverage of the ballooning event at Pidley last September, inflating balloons and laying out equipment purely for the benefit of the cameras, and giving us a series of live and entertaining interviews with pilot and back-up team alike. It was a great pleasure working with them."

We moved our Somerfield charity balloon to Exclusive Ballooning in 1999, having used a number of different operating companies in the preceding years. Having been impressed with Exclusive Ballooning's professionalism we added two further charity balloons into our portfolio, one in 2000 and one in 2001. All three balloons remain with Exclusive Ballooning with whom we are extremely satisfied.
Exclusive Ballooning has always been extremely professional and easy to deal with regards the operation of the balloons, and continue to put forward suggestions for maximizing the fund raising potential of the balloon whilst maintaining the media coverage.
Because of their excellent negotiating skills and connections, year on year they continue to provide us with new fund raising opportunities on a reduced cost basis enabling us to maximize the potential of our budget. Exclusive Ballooning have also operated our balloons in many Countries outside of the UK across three continents again with professionalism and ease.
