As mentioned before, one of the common themes of community activations is to encourage people to recycle, reduce waste, and overall take better care of the planet.
In 2012, IDG worked with the beverage company Honest Tea to create the world’s largest recycling bin which was displayed in Times Square during Honest Tea’s The Great Recycle event. The inflatable recycle bin was 30 feet tall and towered over everyone in Times Square.
Community activation inflatables are a fun and engaging way to spread awareness and get eyes on your activation. A community activation is a type of engagement within a community that provides a community-centered approach to a specific empowering goal.
Community activations are a great way to promote efficiency, sustainability, social good, and more! Some common themes of community activations are to promote recycling, encourage people to donate blood, educate children, and more! Over the years IDG has worked with multiple organizations and businesses to create community activation inflatables all in different shapes and sizes with other end goals.
Encourage Good Habits in Children
First 5 Santa Clara County is an organization that focuses on supporting the healthy development of children in the first 5 years of their life while also enriching the community and families within the community.
One of their community activations was titled Rethink Your Drink and was all about teaching children, and the community, about the importance of drinking water. The face of this activation was a healthy otter named Potter the Otter and a book, titled Potter the Otter a Tale About Water, was written about Potter’s journey to encourage his fans to choose water rather than sugary drinks.
To help engage the community and spread awareness about the activation IDG worked with First 5 Santa Clara County to make a giant inflatable of Potter the Otter. The inflatable was a great way to gain kids’ attention and get them excited to learn more about why water is so important.
You can learn more about First 5 Santa Clara County and Potter the Otter on their website.
IDG also worked with Campbell County Public Library to create a giant custom inflatable lion statue to promote reading. This inflatable was displayed outside the library and also made an appearance during their annual county fair.
World’s Largest (Inflatable) Recycling Bin with Honest Bin
As mentioned before, one of the common themes of community activations is to encourage people to recycle, reduce waste, and overall take better care of the planet.
In 2012, IDG worked with the beverage company Honest Tea to create the world’s largest recycling bin which was displayed in Times Square during Honest Tea’s The Great Recycle event. The inflatable recycle bin was 30 feet tall and towered over everyone in Times Square.
This giant inflatable recycling bin not only towered over passersby but it also was functional! It had a small opening on the side where people could recycle their bottles, cans, and other materials. All in all, over 15,000 beverage containers were recycled that day making this a successful use of community activation inflatables.
See footage from this event and learn more about it on Honest Tea’s YouTube Channel.
Educate About Endangered Animals with Community Activation Inflatables
Interactive community activations are a great way to get people involved in your cause or goal. IDG worked with Elephant Thoughts, a Canadian non-profit organization, to create 5 giant interactive inflatable replicas of Canadian endangered animals. People of all ages could enter inside the inflatable animals and help assemble the animal’s guts while learning about human impacts on the environment, habitat conservation, environmental science, and more.
