Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.
Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on Topeka streets where people actually walk — wheatpaste posters, hand-painted murals, sidewalk stencils, pole snipes, 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.

Why street media works in Topeka.
Topeka splits between the state-government workforce, the Washburn student-and-faculty population, and the year-round Kansas-rooted residential community. Civic and policy-adjacent campaigns move here because the Capitol is here. Cultural campaigns move here because NOTO has built a real First Friday and weekend-tourism circuit. A civic campaign can paste downtown during session and reach the policy workforce on their walk between the Capitol and the Kansas Avenue lunch district. The buyers here are operators, not artists. 500-plus documented installs. Zero municipal removals on record.
Three reasons brands book us here
- 1Capitol, campus, and community
Topeka splits between the state-government workforce, the Washburn student-and-faculty population, and the year-round Kansas-rooted residential community. Downtown along Kansas Avenue carries the Capitol-adjacent inventory. Three audiences, one paste medium.
- 2NOTO's First Friday circuit
The NOTO Arts District runs a real First Friday Artwalk and weekend-tourism draw along North Kansas Avenue. Galleries and restaurants frame the inventory. Cultural campaigns move here because the regional-visitor circuit is already built.

Surfaces, permits & timing
Surfaces
5 neighborhoods on the active route: wheatpaste walls, scaffold corners, and mural-ready sites scouted per brief. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.
Permit path
In Topeka, Beyond Street Media hangs paste-up posters, pole stickers, and sidewalk stencils only on documented private-property walls — Downtown's commercial side walls off Kansas Avenue or the gallery and restaurant surfaces in NOTO, for instance — and only after the owner signs off in writing. Municipal property and utility infrastructure are hands-off. The Capitol grounds are state property and stay untouched, and no Washburn campus wall gets a poster unless the university approves it in writing. Nothing goes up without documented owner consent. Partisan campaign material stays off the street, while civic, advocacy, and issue-based work carrying proper sponsor attribution is weighed case by case — with a paper trail standing behind every placement.
When to run
Production stock is rated to four months of Kansas winter and the summer thunderstorm cycle. Winter (December through February) is the lowest pedestrian density, a counter-cyclical window for indoor-venue and Capitol-adjacent campaigns. Kansas legislative session runs January through May for the highest Capitol-adjacent density, plan eight weeks out. NOTO First Friday Artwalk drives a monthly regional-visitor spike year-round, book three weeks ahead. The Washburn academic year runs August through May, and the Mountain Plains Music Festival plus summer NOTO events carry the highest cultural-tourism weekends.

Q · 01 Is wheatpasting legal in Topeka?
Yes — on documented private-property side walls with the owner's written sign-off, like the commercial pockets around the Capitol complex or the gallery and restaurant surfaces in NOTO. We stay off municipal property, off utility infrastructure, off the state-owned Capitol grounds, and off Washburn campus walls unless the university signs off in writing. Partisan campaign content never goes up at street level; civic, advocacy, and issue-based work with clear sponsor attribution gets reviewed case by case. Every wall is documented on paper before a poster is hung.
Q · 02 How much does a Topeka wheatpaste campaign cost?
A Topeka run opens at $3,500 with both printing and installation folded into that floor. Stretch the buy across Downtown's Kansas Avenue inventory, NOTO along North Kansas Avenue, College Hill by Washburn, Oakland's Quincy corridor, and Westboro's commercial streets and the number climbs from there. What moves it is poster size, how many corridors you want, turnaround, and the service mix — never the logo on the paste-up. A firm quote lands back with you inside 24 to 48 hours.
Q · 03 Which Topeka neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?
Downtown along Kansas Avenue carries the Capitol-adjacent walls and the heaviest weekday foot traffic once the legislature is in session. NOTO's stretch of North Kansas Avenue owns the First Friday Artwalk and its weekend-visitor crowd, framed by gallery and restaurant surfaces. College Hill reaches Washburn's student-and-faculty density off 21st Street, Oakland's Quincy and Sardou hold the community-rooted small businesses and cultural-heritage murals, and Westboro delivers commercial-corridor reach on Huntoon and 29th with the residential blocks kept off-limits.
Q · 04 How long does it take to launch a Topeka campaign?
Roughly seven to fourteen days from creative lock to the first poster on a wall, and clients who arrive with print-ready files can land inside the same week. Give NOTO's First Friday spike about three weeks of lead time, and back the legislative-session window out by eight. Our stock is rated to survive four months of Kansas winter and the summer thunderstorm cycle, so a December-through-February run — the city's lowest-density stretch — holds up as a counter-cyclical play.
Q · 05 How does the legislative session affect campaign timing?
January through May, the Kansas legislative session packs the Capitol complex and Kansas Avenue with the policy workforce, so a Downtown session buy should be booked about eight weeks ahead. That window overlaps the Washburn academic year, which runs August through May and keeps College Hill dense. If you'd rather ride cultural traffic, NOTO's monthly First Friday pulls regional visitors year-round on three weeks' notice, and the Mountain Plains Music Festival plus summer NOTO events carry the busiest tourism weekends.
