Summer in the English countryside – with an elephant?

Project Ink is an event management and design consultancy with a rota of high profile clients looking to enhance and promote their profile, services and image.

Working on a project with Kuoni, the luxury travel company famous for their safari holidays, Project Ink commissioned us to fabricate a 2.5m high, 2.4m long and 1.4m wide elephant in artificial grass. This big beast was to be the focal point for a Kuoni sponsored event at BBC ‘Countryfile Live’ that took place at beautiful Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire in August.

Over 4 gloriously sunny days at the event our elephant wowed the public and presenters alike and gave Kuoni fabulous publicity for their expertly curated holiday packages. The reaction on social media was glowing – as these posts show.
