Why big brands trust our balls for bold campaigns

When it comes to making your brand stand out, few things are as versatile – and surprising – as a plastic ball. From iconic TV adverts to custom-branded campaigns, our balls have quietly (or not so quietly) appeared in some of the UK’s biggest marketing moments. But this blog isn’t just about name-dropping (though we’re proud of it). It’s about showing what’s possible when branding meets innovation, and why businesses of all sizes are turning to us to help boost brand awareness in a bold, playful, and memorable way. This is why big brands trust our balls for bold campaigns

First, what is branding and how is it different from marketing?

Branding is how people feel about your business. It’s your personality, your tone, your visuals, your reputation. It’s what people say about you when you’re not in the room.

Marketing is how you tell people about it. It’s your social media, campaigns, events, and adverts.

Put simply: branding builds recognition and trust; marketing spreads the message. And when those two things work hand-in-hand, you get real impact.

Balls that make a statement

We’ve worked with some big names to do just that. Here are a few highlights:

  • Müller – for a lively yoghurt TV advert
  • Wotsits – you may have spotted our balls in their bold snack campaign
  • Puma and Nando’s – bringing energy and fun to brand promotions
  • WKD and Indeed – turning balls into conversation starters
  • Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show – for light-hearted chaos on primetime TV

Most recently, Babybel used custom-printed red balls to fill a giant ball pit in Manchester for Comic Relief, grabbing attention and raising money for a great cause. Branded balls, big impact.

What are your options?

We offer two main types of branded ball:

1. Custom Print Balls
Perfect for campaigns, exhibitions, fundraising or one-off events. You can print your logo a QR code linking to a website or channel of your choice  or design directly onto the ball – just like Babybel did. There’s a small minimum order quantity of just 1 bag of 500 balls, so you can test the waters without a massive upfront cost.

2. Moulded Logo Balls
This is our premium option for brands that want to go all in. We create a bespoke mould so your logo is part of the ball itself – not just printed on top. It’s a brilliant solution for high-volume needs (starting at 50,000 balls) and gives you a unique, ownable finish. Our Inflatanation balls are a great example.

It’s not just about soft play

While many people associate our products with play centres, branded balls can go far beyond that – into advertising, brand activations, giveaways, product launches, and more.

They’re light, tactile, fun to use, and seriously eye-catching. Whether you’re planning a big PR stunt or a trade show stand, our team can help you turn an idea into reality and why big brands trust our balls for bold campaigns
