Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.
Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on Raleigh 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 Raleigh.
Raleigh works as a layered city. State government on Fayetteville Street, tech and design in Glenwood South, retail and galleries threading Five Points. Roughly forty active brick walls split across the three. Glenwood South concentrates restaurants, bars, galleries, and venue foot traffic Thursday through Saturday, while Downtown puts state government, corporate professionals, and convention visitors on the same sidewalk, a decision-maker density few Southern markets carry. The capital city reads its own walls.
Three reasons brands book us here
- 1Glenwood South: brick and nightlife
Raleigh's entertainment corridor concentrates restaurants, bars, galleries, and venue foot traffic from Thursday through Saturday. Roughly twenty active brick walls along Glenwood Avenue and the cross streets. Historic architecture and ground-floor retail support high-visibility placement for lifestyle and hospitality work.
- 2Fayetteville Street: government and convention reach
Downtown's commercial spine runs the lunch-window foot traffic that puts state government, corporate professionals, and convention visitors on the same sidewalk. Modern commercial walls, event-week traffic spikes around the Convention Center, decision-maker density few Southern markets carry.
- 3Five Points and Cameron Village: walkable cultural corridor
Independent boutiques, galleries, coffee shops, and emerging mixed-use development form a contiguous arts and retail run. Evening and weekend foot traffic concentrates around dining and gallery activity. Lower spend, faster property coordination, useful as a focused first run before citywide saturation.

Surfaces, permits & timing
Surfaces
6 neighborhoods on the active route: wheatpaste walls, scaffold corners, and mural-ready sites scouted per brief. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.
Permit path
Raleigh permits paste on private property once the owner signs off in writing, and city code enforcement treats a poster on a permissioned wall as a property-rights matter rather than a nuisance. The gallery- wall owners along Glenwood South and Five Points run rotating commercial work and keep networks that actively invite activation, and the Warehouse District operates the same way with its industrial-to- mixed-use walls. Utility poles, transit, and the public right-of-way are never in play; we only paste where an owner has granted consent. Our compliance paperwork is filed at the zip-code level and holds to one standard across every active block.
When to run
Seven to fourteen days from creative lock to first install, with same-week doable when print files are press-ready and properties are pre-cleared. Mild Carolina climate keeps campaigns running twelve months a year. Spring and fall are the cleanest windows, and fall light is the strongest documentation window for the downtown commercial walls and Glenwood South brick. Summer heat and 2pm-to-4pm afternoon thunderstorms push installs to early morning so paste locks first; winter is mild with occasional rain. Convention-center event weeks spike downtown Fayetteville Street foot traffic.

Buyer questions.
What Raleigh 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 Raleigh?
Yes, on private walls with written owner consent, which we lock down before a single sheet goes up. Raleigh code enforcement treats paste on a permissioned wall as a property-rights question, and the gallery-wall owners along Glenwood South and Five Points keep networks that welcome rotating commercial work. Utility poles, transit shelters, and the public right-of-way stay untouched, so every install runs on a wall whose owner signed off in writing.
Q · 02 How much does a Raleigh wheatpaste campaign cost?
A Raleigh run opens at $3,500, with both printing and installation built into that floor. Stretch a program across Fayetteville Street, Glenwood South's brick, Five Points, and Cameron Village and the number climbs with wall count, poster size, and turnaround, following print volume and crew days rather than the name on the sheet. You get a firm quote back within 24 to 48 hours.
Q · 03 Which Raleigh neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?
Glenwood South holds the densest raw brick along the Thursday-through-Saturday nightlife corridor, roughly twenty walls down Glenwood Avenue. Fayetteville Street's modern commercial walls reach the state-government, corporate, and convention crowd downtown, while Five Points adds painted commercial walls across its creative-class retail blocks. Cameron Village brings walkable mixed-use frontage, the Warehouse District rotates development hoarding and industrial wall, and North Hills fills in residential-adjacent secondary inventory.
Q · 04 How long does it take to launch a Raleigh campaign?
Seven to fourteen days from creative lock to the first wall, and same-week is on the table when print files are press-ready and the properties are already cleared. Raleigh's mild Carolina climate means there's no seasonal blackout to plan around, so the walls stay workable across all twelve months, whether that's Glenwood South brick or the downtown commercial spine.
Q · 05 What's the best season for Raleigh paste-up installs?
Spring and fall give the cleanest windows. Through summer the heat and the 2pm-to-4pm thunderstorm band push crews to early-morning installs so the paste locks before the rain rolls in, while winter stays mild with the odd shower. Fall light is the strongest for documentation, when the downtown commercial walls and Glenwood South brick photograph best.
