Pioneer Press: Scott TakushiLandmark Creations: Crafting Attention-Grabbing Custom Inflatables

In their 2016 feature, the Pioneer Press delves into the unique and attention-grabbing work of Landmark Creations, a Burnsville-based company that specializes in custom high-end inflatables. From massive brand mascots like the Pillsbury Doughboy and the Geico gecko to educational tools like oversized walk-through colons, Landmark has brought countless imaginative projects to life. Their creations are found at festivals, concerts, corporate events, and even in political protests.

The article highlights Landmark’s innovation in the industry, moving beyond the simple gorillas and dinosaurs of the 1980s to intricate designs enabled by modern technology like computer-aided drafting and automated fabric cutting. Their portfolio includes inflatable props for Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, and the Country Music Awards, demonstrating their influence in the entertainment world.

The company's success is rooted in their commitment to creativity and quality, supported by a team of designers, artists, and craftsmen. From a 50-foot zombie at the Twin Cities Zombie Pub Crawl to a life-size inflatable whale, Landmark’s work stands out, drawing eyes and igniting conversations. Educational inflatables, such as their wrinkled walk-through colons for cancer awareness campaigns, further showcase their versatility and impact.
