About Us

Online gifting retailer RedBalloon pioneered experiential gifting in Australia and New Zealand and has delivered hundreds of thousands of vouchers to consumers and businesses. Since its inception in 2001, RedBalloon has grown consistently and profitably. It has come a long way from its humble beginnings in the front room of Founder Naomi Simson’s home with her dog Dexter. In 2010, the business is powered by a team of 46 RedBallooners, has been listed on the Business Review Weekly’s Fast List six years running (2004 - 2009), awarded Number One website by Hitwise for the Flowers and Gifts category from 2004 - 2010, and is on track to achieve revenue of $30 million FY2011. RedBalloon is acknowledged in the top ten Best Places to Work in Australia by BRW and according to Hewitt has a 97% employee engagement score. RedBalloon also offers a comprehensive range of Corporate Incentive, Reward and Recognition Programs for over 1800 corporate clients. According to Gallup, up to 21% of employees are disengaged across Australia - costing some $42 billion per year in lost productivity. By providing exciting reward and recognition solutions, corporate gifts and sales incentives, RedBalloon helps ensure businesses keep their employees and customers motivated, rewarded and engaged.
