What we do in San Francisco

Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.

Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on San Francisco streets where people actually walk — sidewalk stencils, hand-painted murals, pole snipes, poster walls, and interior takeovers, printed and installed by one crew. No media-owner middleman, no billboard rates: every placement is permitted, hand-applied, and photographed the day it goes up.

Poster-only brief? The paste-up detail, wall inventory and floors live on wheatpasting in San Francisco.

01
Brief & route
You send the brand, dates, and audience. We map the San Francisco corridors where that buyer actually walks and price off the published floor.
02
Scout & secure
Crews scout walls on foot, then lock every surface in writing: owner agreement, BID-cleared scaffold, or permitted hoarding. The paper trail ships with the photos.
03
Print & install
We print in-house and hand-install from dawn, moving neighborhood to neighborhood. Tier-1 dispatch means same-week turnarounds on print-ready creative.
04
Document
Every placement shot wide, mid, and detail, GPS-stamped on install day. The wrap deck lands within five business days with the full proof set.

San Francisco on the ground

Why street media works in San Francisco.

San Francisco pulls the densest concentration of AI founders, startup operators, and venture decision-makers in the world, and SF tech audiences photograph what they see and post it. A strong SoMa or Mission campaign earns Twitter/X and LinkedIn pickup within hours. The Relevance AI agents-and-meatballs activation got documented organically before the install crew left the block. SF earns the highest LinkedIn pickup of any US market.

Three reasons brands book us here

1
SoMa: the AI-founder corridor
SoMa is the densest concentration of AI labs, startup HQs, and venture offices in the world. Wheatpaste on SoMa walls reaches the audience deciding what tools their company adopts. The Relevance AI campaign confirmed it. The message landed where it mattered.
2
Mission to North Beach: the cultural register
The Mission runs editorial work, integrated mural culture, and audiences that read independent media. North Beach holds historic district foot traffic. The Castro, Haight, Marina, and Dogpatch each pull a distinct audience. Nine neighborhoods, one crew.
3
Tech audiences that share work online
SF tech audiences photograph what they see and post it. A strong SoMa or Mission campaign earns Twitter/X and LinkedIn pickup within hours. The Relevance AI agents-and-meatballs activation got documented organically before the install crew left the block.

Surfaces, permits & timing

Surfaces

6 neighborhoods scouted weekly: 40+ wheatpaste walls, 12+ BID-permitted scaffold corners, 8+ mural-ready sites, plus interior partners. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.

Permit path

San Francisco allows wheatpaste on private property with the owner's written permission, which we secure on every campaign. Public Works Code § 184.57 bars affixing a sign to any lamp post, utility pole, traffic control sign, curbstone, bench, hydrant, sidewalk, bridge, tree, or other structure owned or controlled by the city, with size-and-duration exceptions for lamp posts and utility poles. Utility poles, SFMTA transit infrastructure, traffic signs, and public right-of-way stay off every route. SoMa and the Mission carry the heaviest commercial wall and scaffolding inventory. The SoMa Mixed-Use overlay, the Mission cultural-district overlay, the North Beach Special Use District, and the Castro NCD each carry distinct facade rules we track, and we keep a current permit matrix for every active SF zip code.

When to run

SF runs year-round on mild Mediterranean weather, no seasonal blackout; summer marine-layer fog and winter rain shift heavy installs to dry mid-day windows. The tech calendar drives demand: Dreamforce (September), Apple WWDC (June), GDC (March), OpenAI DevDay, plus SF Pride (late June), Outside Lands (August), and year-round AI meetups (Cerebral Valley). Conference weeks are the heaviest pricing-pressure windows as property and crew availability tighten.

San Francisco · the answers

Buyer questions.

What San Francisco brand managers ask on intake calls. Permit reality, lead time, minimums, photo proof. If your question isn't here, brief us directly.

Q · 01

Is street-level advertising legal in San Francisco?

Yes, on private property with the owner's written permission. We secure that consent on every campaign. Public Works Code § 184.57 bars affixing a sign to any lamp post, utility pole, traffic control sign, curbstone, bench, hydrant, sidewalk, tree, or other city-owned structure, with size-and-duration exceptions for lamp posts and utility poles, and Public Works enforces it. We never touch those surfaces. The legal framework varies by district overlay, and we keep a current compliance matrix for every active SF zip code. Only permissioned commercial walls, scaffolding, and hoarding. Poster-specific rules live on our wheatpaste advertising in San Francisco page.

Q · 02

How much does a street marketing campaign cost in San Francisco?

Wheatpaste in San Francisco starts at $3,500 per campaign, print and install included. Multi-neighborhood programs across SoMa, the Mission, the Castro, Hayes Valley, the Tenderloin, North Beach, Haight, Marina, and Dogpatch price up from the published floor. The final number depends on turnaround, size, location count, and combined service mix, and it tracks print volume and crew days, not the brand on the poster. Final quote returns in 24-48 hours. Poster-specific pricing lives on the San Francisco wheatpaste page.

Q · 03

Which SF neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?

Active install zones: SoMa, the Mission, the Castro, Hayes Valley, the Tenderloin, North Beach, Haight, Marina, and Dogpatch. SoMa carries the tech-corridor wall inventory. The Mission runs editorial and mural-integrated work. The Castro, Haight, Marina, and Dogpatch each cover a distinct audience and surface mix. Hayes Valley holds the boutique-retail walking corridor. North Beach pulls historic-district tourist foot traffic.

Q · 04

How long does it take to launch an SF campaign?

Seven to fourteen days from approved creative to first install. SF is Tier-1 with crews embedded in SoMa and the Mission. Same-week turnarounds are achievable for clients with print-ready creative. Property coordination is fastest in SoMa and the Mission. Long-standing wall partnerships hold across campaigns.

Q · 05

Does the work reach AI and tech audiences in SF?

Yes. That's the core SoMa play. SoMa concentrates AI labs, startup HQs, venture offices, and the operators who decide what tooling their company adopts. The Relevance AI campaign targeted exactly that audience with wheatpaste posters across the corridor. SF tech audiences share what they see online, which means strong work earns amplification beyond the install footprint.
