Welcome 2014!

Posted by bki on January 6, 2014

A big BKI welcome to the New Year! We’re excited to be back at work on some brilliant projects, starting 2014 with a bang.

Some of our work took on a new life over the course of the last year, with the over-sized Jim Beam cans (Jim Beam Bourbon for The Works) moving from their cooler at Bondi Icebergs out to bottle shops all around the country – perhaps you’ve already seen one at your local?

These iconic cans are truly living it up after being salvaged from the pool – send us a photo if you happen to find one. Cheers!

Twitter/Instagram: @BKIJIMBEAM Locations include: Bathurst Panthers, Grey Gums Hotel Penrith, Ambervale Tavern, Kemps Creek Liquor Master & BWS Bayswater Victoria.

We took great care in relocating the magnificent marble Fountain we sculpted for artist Hany Armanious from the MCA Rooftop to Heidi Sculpture Garden. The sculpture is now on long term loan to the Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Our team created the fun-filled Lipton Sparkling Iced Tea ride, fitted out a traveling VW Kombi Cafe, created the amazing staging centrepiece which provided the backdrop for the SEVEN West Media launch and the glowing Vodaphone 4G brand device which lit up the Sydney Harbour foreshore.

Bring on your best briefs and give us a challenge, we look forward to imagineering the future with you!

The Cloud at CeBit 2013

Posted by bkisbigblog on June 12, 2013

Client: Salesforce
Agency: George P Johnson
Brief: Bespoke Exhibition Display

Last month Sydney hosted CeBit, the largest annual business exhibition in Australia attracting the biggest gathering of business technology professionals in the country.

BKI along with Harry the Hirer (rigging) and Staging Rentals (exhibition construction) as the main construction contractor realised George P Johnson’s exhibition for featured exhibitor, Salesforce — the enterprise cloud computing leader.

Using 22 giant, white weather balloons, Big Kahuna Imagineering reinterpreted the cloud that is central to the Salesforce logo and also a nod to the tech trend of “the cloud”.

Suspended from a 6-metre rig truss, the balloons were lit by LED lighting giving it a brilliant effect. Flex cable ran up aluminum tubing from the balloon to the truss to secure the installation throughout the 3-day event.

The show floor was packed with specialists covering everything tech-related including the Cloud, data centres, Big Data, communications, financial technology, Security, mobility, Social Media and eGovernment. But this looming installation hung over the Salesforce stand at CeBit like a beacon to expo attendees.
