Bucky Badger Character Inflatable Mascot Boosts Spirit

Bucky Badger Inflatable Mascot Really Gets Around

Thanks to the University of Wisconsin's Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA), the school now has a new inflatable mascot that's been turning heads all over campus.

With student organizations, the homecoming committee, the alumni association and the athletic department clamoring for the Bucky character inflatable to make an appearance at their events, this 20-foot-tall tough guy has really been getting around.

A custom creation (as all character inflatables are), Bucky is one of a kind. From his designer sweater to the fearsome snarl on his face and pumped up biceps, this inflatable mascot lets everyone know he means business.

The WAA had some specific goals in mind when they ordered Bucky including drawing attention to events, increasing "badger spirit," adding fun and excitement, and branding the WAA. Have they accomplished their goals? "When we put on the events and the media is there, Bucky is always sure to be included in the photo." In addition, reactions from students and alums to this character inflatable have been very positive.

All that's left to say is, "Gooooooooooo Badgers!"

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"This year’s event was the highest attended in some time, and the [inflatable] astronaut, front and center on our Portico, was a great visible draw from all over the area."

- Dennis Bateman, Carnegie Science Center

“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

- Christy Bernard, Tony Chachere’s

- J. Doyle, Scenery First

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"The Adventure Colon is so rewarding for our organization. Everyone that walks through it is just in awe and learn so much when we guide them through it."
