What we do in North Carolina

Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.

Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on the street where people actually walk, not on a screen they scroll past. We run it with wheatpaste posters (big paper prints brushed onto a wall with a flour-based paste), hand-painted murals, sidewalk stencils, pole snipes, and interior takeovers, all printed and installed by one crew. No media-owner middleman, no billboard rates. Every placement across North Carolina is permitted, hand-applied, and photographed the day it goes up. It's how culture-driven brands in fashion, music, film, tech, and fitness get seen in a market.

  1. 01
    Brief & route

    You send the brand, markets, and dates. We map the North Carolina cities and corridors where that buyer actually walks and price off the published floor.

  2. 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.

  3. 03
    Print & install

    We print in-house and hand-install from dawn, market by market. One accountable crew owns it end to end, with no print-shop handoff to a freelance installer.

  4. 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.

Permits + the reality

The state law. The city rules.

Every North Carolina placement runs on permitted walls and written owner consent, with a documented paper trail. Zero municipal removals on record.

State frame. North Carolina statute governs ads visible from federal-aid highways, the layer most agencies misread as "the law." Street-level work is governed city-by-city: Charlotte runs on city sign permits + owner consent (5-8 day lead in tier-1 corridors), and Raleigh layers its own BIDs and improvement districts on top.

What that means for you. Every North Carolina city below is audited for the real permit path, and lead times reflect actual owner/BID response, not statutory minimums. We don't run paid work on transit property, state DOT right-of-way, or federal parkland; if a brief routes there, we redirect to adjacent private surfaces and document it in writing.

City Primary permit path Owner consent + cost Lead time
Charlotte City sign permit + owner consent (5-neighborhood map on file) $200-1,200 owner fee · BID corridors higher 5-8 d
Raleigh Owner consent + scout-and-install field check $0-500 owner fee · per-property 7-12 d

North Carolina on the ground

Why street media works across North Carolina.

Charlotte runs on banking and Sunbelt growth. Raleigh runs on Research Triangle research, NC State, and startup money. Two metros, two buyer audiences, one drive between them.

Charlotte buys banking, Raleigh buys research. Charlotte’s NoDa and South End give the corporate metro an arts-forward read; Raleigh’s Glenwood South and NC State corridor give the Research Triangle a nightlife and student reach. Two metros, two buyer audiences, one crew that drives between them.

Permits in North Carolina

North Carolina General Statutes § 14-126.1 covers property damage without owner consent. With written consent, the install is legal. We hold consent on file for every wall before paste goes up. Code enforcement in both metros is community-focused, which means neighborhood notification carries weight, and we run that step by default in NoDa, South End, and Glenwood South.

Private property plus written owner consent. No public infrastructure, no transit, no right-of-way.

Services available in North Carolina

Two metros, two buyer reads. Charlotte’s banking and Sunbelt-growth audience sees the work on NoDa and South End walls; Raleigh’s Research Triangle and startup audience sees it on Glenwood South and the NC State corridor. The same crew runs both, and the same property owners go back on the calendar next quarter.

North Carolina clients regularly run regional buys that spill into neighboring markets. Same operator contract, same field log. Different state line.

North Carolina · the answers

Statewide FAQ.

The questions every North Carolina brief opens with, answered with the operator answer, not the marketing one.

Q · 01

Where in North Carolina does the crew run campaigns?

Charlotte (NoDa, South End, Uptown, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth) and Raleigh (downtown, Glenwood South, NC State area). Charlotte covers corporate and the emerging-arts blocks. Raleigh covers tech, startup, and the university corridor. Both metros have documented campaigns on file. Community notification and owner relationships matter more here than on the coasts.

Q · 02

Is wheatpasting legal in North Carolina?

Yes, on private property with the owner's written consent. North Carolina General Statutes § 14-126.1 covers property damage without consent; the consent letter is what we secure. The state does not prohibit wheatpasting on permissioned private surfaces. We hold written consent on file for every wall and notify neighborhood property associations where the protocol calls for it.

Q · 03

How much does a North Carolina wheatpaste campaign cost?

Single-city, single-neighborhood: $5K to $10K for 12 to 18 walls with print, install, and documentation. Multi-neighborhood Charlotte (NoDa, South End, Plaza Midwood): $16K to $28K. Multi-neighborhood Raleigh (downtown, Glenwood South, NC State area): $14K to $26K. Two-city statewide: $35K to $60K. Holds average 18 to 30 days, which lifts per-day CPM against the same dollar on the coasts.

Q · 04

How fast can the crew move in North Carolina?

Both metros support 72 to 96-hour saturation on pre-cleared walls. New properties need 5 to 7 days of coordination, and the community-notification step adds another 2 to 3 in NoDa and Glenwood South. Plan ahead and the timeline runs clean. Walk in cold and the lead stretches to 10 to 14 days.

Q · 05

Which North Carolina neighborhoods get the strongest coverage?

Charlotte: NoDa (artist community, gallery walls, 20 to 35 day holds), South End (emerging mixed-use retail, 18 to 30 day holds), Uptown (corporate and retail density, 12 to 20 day holds), Plaza Midwood (young-professional nightlife, 15 to 25 day holds), Dilworth (neighborhood density and growth, 20 to 30 day holds). Raleigh: downtown (mixed-use retail, 15 to 25 day holds), Glenwood South (nightlife and retail corridor, 18 to 28 day holds), NC State area (college-town and young professional, 20 to 30 day holds).
