Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.
Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on Reno 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.

You send the brand, dates, and audience. We map the Reno corridors where that buyer actually walks and price off the published floor.
- 02Scout & 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.
- 03Print & install
We print in-house and hand-install from dawn, moving neighborhood to neighborhood. Scout-and-install routes the brief on a per-market schedule.

Why street media works in Reno.
Reno is a Tahoe-gateway market with open surface and an active mural culture, so property owners along Virginia Street back visual work and a brand that runs on permissioned walls here owns the corridor without bidding against a crowded out-of-home auction. Reach is foot-level on Midtown commercial walls, not drive-by on the freeway. The street is the one place outside the auction.
Three reasons brands book us here
- 1Midtown is the mural-and-retail spine
The Midtown District along Virginia Street carries the densest run of paste-friendly walls in the city. Murals, independent retail, restaurants, and bar frontage sit on a walkable corridor that fills on art-walk nights and through the weekend. Reach here is foot-level on commercial walls, not drive-by on the freeway.
- 2Downtown and the Riverwalk run the event traffic
Downtown and the Truckee Riverwalk District carry the casino, hotel, and festival foot traffic. Hot August Nights, the balloon races, and the riverfront events stack a national visitor audience on top of the local base. Campaigns timed to those windows pick up earned reach well above the baseline.
- 3A Tahoe-gateway market, uncontested surface
Reno is open ground for documented street-level work, with a creative Midtown base and a steady flow of Tahoe-bound and event visitors. A brand that runs on permissioned walls here owns the corridor without bidding against a crowded out-of-home auction. The street is the one place outside the auction.

Surfaces, permits & timing
Surfaces
4 neighborhoods on the active route: wheatpaste walls, scaffold corners, and mural-ready sites scouted per brief. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.
Permit path
Under Nevada law, a poster on a permissioned wall is a property-rights matter, so once we hold written consent from the wall's owner the install is legal, and that paperwork is signed before any Reno wall goes up. The Downtown and Midtown arts blocks carry facade-modification rules, and our compliance file pre-clears them corridor by corridor before the crew rolls; Reno's mural culture helps here, since owners along the Virginia Street corridor actively back visual work. The same file checks each wall against Reno's downtown and big-event posting rules ahead of dispatch. Public infrastructure, meaning utility poles, transit, and the right-of-way, is left alone entirely; we paste only on private, owner- consented walls.
When to run
High-desert summers run hot and dry and winters bring snow, so crews favor the spring and fall shoulder seasons for the cleanest installs. Hot August Nights brings classic cars and a national crowd to Downtown and the Riverwalk in early August; the Great Reno Balloon Race floats over the city in September; Artown runs a month of arts programming across July, packing Midtown and the Riverwalk. Reno also feeds Burning Man in late August, when desert-bound traffic flows through town. The University of Nevada, Reno academic year carries a student audience September through May.

Buyer questions.
What Reno 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 wheatpasting legal in Reno?
Yes. Nevada treats a poster on a permissioned wall as a property-rights question, so with written owner consent the install is legal, and we sign that paperwork before any wall goes up. Reno's mural culture works in our favor: owners along the Virginia Street corridor in Midtown actively back visual installs. Utility poles, transit, and other public right-of-way stay untouched, and our compliance file pre-clears the facade-modification rules on the Downtown and Midtown arts blocks before the crew dispatches.
Q · 02 How much does a Reno wheatpaste campaign cost?
A Reno campaign opens at $3,500 with both printing and installation folded in. Running more than one corridor at once, say Midtown's Virginia Street walls plus the Downtown casino blocks, the Truckee Riverwalk, and the UNR campus edge, builds up from that floor, and the number moves on poster count, wall count, size, and turnaround rather than on who the client is. We turn a firm quote around in 24 to 48 hours.
Q · 03 Which Reno neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?
Midtown leads, with the densest run of paste-friendly walls in the city: mural walls, independent retail, and bar frontage strung along the walkable Virginia Street corridor that fills on art-walk nights and weekends. Downtown adds casino-adjacent commercial walls and scaffold that soak up hotel and festival crowds, and the Truckee Riverwalk carries riverfront retail and restaurant frontage riding event spillover. The UNR campus edge rounds it out with campus-adjacent retail that holds the student audience.
Q · 04 How long does it take to launch a Reno campaign?
Most weeks run seven to fourteen days from creative lock to the first wall. Building around a marquee window, Hot August Nights in early August, the Great Reno Balloon Race in September, or Artown's July run across Midtown and the Riverwalk, wants extra lead time, since owner coordination and crew scheduling both tighten when the city fills up. Outside those windows, same-week is workable when the print files land press-ready.
Q · 05 Do you run pole stickers and stencils in Reno too?
Yes. Pole stickers go up on commercially permissioned poles and construction hoarding along the Midtown and Downtown corridors, never on public right-of-way. Sidewalk stencils run on high-traffic pavement through Midtown and the Truckee Riverwalk using chalk paint or biodegradable spray. Whatever the format, each placement ships with GPS-stamped photo proof in wide, mid, and detail frames.
