In Spring 2025, Prague-based agency MediaOne commissioned Gifts Service to develop a lifelike 3-metre inflatable replica of the ZIK ZAK Paprichup bottle. The goal was to capture public attention at outdoor events and drive brand visibility in retail and consumer-facing environments.
With increasing demand for experiential marketing displays in the UK and Europe, the inflatable needed to reflect precise product shape, brand colours, and usability requirements — while being built for durable use across high-traffic public venues.
