Benchmark Balloon part of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta Press Launch!

This morning the team here at Nova Inflatable Advertising took part in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta press launch flight with the Benchmark balloon.

Taking off  from College Green in central Bristol, along with 13 other balloons, we had a lovely slow flight over the Harbour and the Suspension Bridge, before gently coming into land in the field that acts as the launch site during the Fiesta itself, at Ashton Court Estate.

The press launch for Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is organised without the public knowing about when it will take place so is always a nice surprise to locals as they are waking up or on an early commute into work, however it also attracts a lot of media attention, with reporters from local TV new channels, newspapers and many social media influencers on hand filming the tranquillity of the hot air balloons gently floating over the sleepy city, informing people that the Fiesta will be back a Ashton Court in just over two weeks’ time, also helping your brand name and logo be seen far and wide, and not just for the time that the balloon is in the air, but also in the media coverage gained. In fact the media attention gained by the balloon fiesta is now worldwide!

We are also very pleased to confirm the Benchmark Balloon is now officially ready for  its second year at the Bristol fiesta, and our team here at Nova Inflatable Advertising will be operating it for Bristol based building company again.

Dates for the fiesta this year are on the 7-9th August, there are mass ascents planned for 6am and 6pm over the 3 days and nightglows on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you are heading to Ashton Court for the event or are in the Bristol area and you see the Benchmark balloon flying, we would love for you to send us your pictures.

If you would like to find out more about how we can get your business name and logo onto a hot air balloon for events such as Bristol or if you would like to have it at your own event then more information can be found here or contact us to discuss your ideas with our team.
