Bam mascots, also known as inflatable mascots or advertising inflatables, are large inflatable structures that are designed in the shape of a specific character or figure. These mascots are commonly used for promotional and advertising purposes at events, sports games, and trade shows. The term "bam" was coined by the advertising industry to describe the impact and attention that these mascots can generate. They are often referred to as "bam mascots" because of their ability to catch the eye and effectively market a brand or product. Bam mascots are typically made from durable materials such as PVC or nylon, which allow them to be easily inflated and withstand various weather conditions. They come in a wide range of sizes and can reach heights of up to 30 feet or more.

One of the main advantages of using bam mascots for advertising is their ability to attract attention.

1. Use a Prop!

Arkansas State University-Newport’s mascot introduction had its audience wondering, “Is it a bird?” or “Is it a plane?” when they introduced Ace the Aviator with a Blackhawk plane piloted by an Arkansas Army Guardsman. Ace touched down during a welcome picnic with students and faculty members. The university mascot’s landing parachuted Ace as a brand representative of ASU-Newport. If you don’t have access to a plane, consider using a decorated car, golf-cart, float, or other type of mobile prop to drive your mascot’s success.

Washington Commanders: Making The Mascot

We’re very excited to share our ninth collaboration (!) with the Washington Commanders. Our “Making The Mascot” film is a longer form follow-up to the recently released Major Tuddy mascot teaser that was shared across a variety of media channels including social media and in stadium prior to Major Tuddy’s official reveal.

Shot in documentary style over a few months, our creative agency directed the internal Washington Commanders content team on what would help create a compelling and detailed glimpse into the creation of their official mascot, Major Tuddy. We captured interactions with players from the past and present, fans, the club’s president, as well as Tuddy on the pitch for his reveal, including celebrations with the players after a touchdown.

Of major importance was to shoot the making of Major Tuddy’s mascot outfit by Bam Mascots in Toronto, Canada. During this capture we were able to highlight initial prototypes and illustrations all the way through to interviews with the hands-on craftspeople. The materials, drawings, and details were all included to show Major Tuddy’s creation in a variety of stages to help fans visually understand all the details that went into the making of Major Tuddy.

Reviews for "The Connection Between Bam Mascots and Fan Loyalty: A Case Study"

- Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Bam mascots. The costumes were shoddy and clearly cheaply made. The characters didn't even look like the popular cartoon characters they were supposed to represent. The performers inside the costumes also seemed disengaged and unenthusiastic. Overall, it was a very lackluster and underwhelming experience.

- John - 2 stars - I took my kids to see Bam mascots and I have to say, it was quite a letdown. The show lacked energy and excitement. The performers didn't interact with the audience much and seemed like they were just going through the motions. The ticket prices were also quite high for what was essentially a subpar performance. I wouldn't recommend it.

- Megan - 2 stars - My friends and I were really looking forward to seeing Bam mascots, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to our expectations. The choreography was messy and the characters didn't seem well-rehearsed. There were several technical issues throughout the show which only added to the disappointment. It felt like a missed opportunity to bring joy and entertainment to the audience.
