Beyond Street Media vs AGM.

One team, from the proof to the finished wall. BSM designs, prints, and installs in house. You are not wiring a printer to a separate install crew to a separate permits desk and hoping the handoffs hold. One brief, one project director, one invoice. Installation is where most street campaigns fall apart, and it is the part we own end to end.

Thirty-nine formats, and one team carrying all of them. Wheatpaste posters, hand-painted murals, sidewalk stencils, pole stickers, scaffold wraps, construction hoarding, interior installs, multi-city street teams, and thirty more. AGM's menu is broader still — it runs past street media into experiential, mobile billboards, drone shows, and media buying — so this is not a breadth contest. It is a depth-per-format one: everything BSM lists, BSM prints and installs itself.

Real coverage in 202 cities across all 50 states. From New York, LA, and Miami to ninety-plus secondary markets, we publish where we work instead of promising we can probably get there. AGM also lists all 50 states and DC on its snipe directory. The difference worth checking is what sits behind the state name: BSM publishes a page per city with named corridors, not a state landing page.

A published floor on every format, in one place. The rate card is public: wheatpaste from $3,500, sidewalk stencils from $2,500, hand-painted murals from $18,000, multi-city programs scaling from there. AGM publishes rates too, per category — its snipe page carries a unit-count table — so the honest claim is not that they hide the number. It is that BSM prices all 39 formats on one page, and the scoped quote on your brief comes back in 24 to 48 hours. See the full rate card.

Proof while the campaign is still going up. Three photos per install, wide, mid, and detail, tagged with location and time, in your portal within hours of the crew finishing. AGM documents too — GPS-tagged coordinates and installation photography in a post-campaign report within 48 hours of the run ending. Both are real proof. A photo you can see the same night is a photo you can still act on.

Work that holds up on a CMO’s screen. FIFA World Cup 2026, Palantir, Sézane, Yonex, Brooklyn Museum, Stripe, True Religion, Huda Beauty, RYZE Coffee. Fashion houses, enterprise tech, global sport, and cultural institutions brief BSM because the finish and the documentation survive scrutiny. See the work.

Posting law read state by state, before a crew rolls. BSM publishes a guide covering all 50 states and DC, and secures property access in writing up front. AGM publishes legal explainers too — a piece on whether wheatpasting is illegal that works through seven named cities, and one on posting permits — but the coverage is city-level, not a state-by-state reference. On a multi-state route through secondary markets, that is the gap. See the state-by-state guide.

The correction first. Until 2026-09-15 this page said there was no published per-wall rate on AGM's site. That was wrong. Their snipe page carries a price table broken out by poster size and unit count, and their cost guide prices several formats. If you have already seen it, you would have caught us, and you would have been right to discount everything else on the page. So: they publish. Go and read it there rather than here, because a competitor figure reprinted on a sales page is stale the day it is typed.

BSM publishes a floor on every format it sells. Wheatpaste posters from $3,500, sidewalk stencils from $2,500, snipes and stickers from $3,000, floor graphics from $4,000, hand-painted murals from $18,000. Expedited campaigns run 80 to 150 percent higher for a 24 to 72 hour brief-to-wall turnaround. One page, every format, no form. That is the difference in kind: a category table tells you what snipes cost, a rate card tells you what the whole mixed brief costs.

A published table is not a quote. A unit-count grid prices a package that was sized before anyone looked at your street. BSM walks the corridor, counts the postable surfaces, and comes back in 24 to 48 hours with a number scoped to your actual markets, sizes, and window, off the published floors. You take a real figure into the room, not an average.

No lock-in either way. Neither agency requires a retainer. Both work brief by brief. You can move a campaign in or out without a contract holding it hostage.
