Cities we run in Ohio.
Active install markets across Ohio. Tap any city for its local work, neighborhoods, and pricing.
Every market in Ohio.
Three metros of roughly equal size, which is unusual and makes Ohio a genuine three-city buy rather than a one-city one.

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 Ohio 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.
- 01 Brief & route
You send the brand, markets, and dates. We map the Ohio cities and 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, market by market. One accountable crew owns it end to end, with no print-shop handoff to a freelance installer.
- 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.
Pick a format. We print and install it.
Every format is printed and installed in-house, scouted, hand-applied, and GPS-photographed across Ohio. Pick the one that fits the brief; the full catalog is one click away.

The state law. The city rules.
Every Ohio placement runs on permitted walls and written owner consent, with a documented paper trail. Zero municipal removals on record.
State frame. Ohio statute governs ads visible from federal-aid highways, the layer most agencies misread as "the law." Street-level work is governed city-by-city: Cleveland runs on city sign permits + owner consent (5-8 day lead in tier-1 corridors), and Columbus layers its own BIDs and improvement districts on top.
What that means for you. Every Ohio 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland | Owner consent + scout-and-install field check | $0-500 owner fee · per-property | 7-12 d |
| Columbus | Owner consent + scout-and-install field check | $0-500 owner fee · per-property | 7-12 d |
| Cincinnati | Owner consent + scout-and-install field check | $0-500 owner fee · per-property | 7-12 d |
Why street media works across Ohio.
Ohio walls hold longer than the coasts. Property relationships compound over years, code enforcement is moderate, and the post-industrial brick belt across Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati gives three distinct urban audiences inside one driveable state.

Three Ohio cities, three different reads. Cleveland is post-industrial arts. Columbus is tech and students. Cincinnati is corporate downtown plus Over-the-Rhine creative class. The crew that runs Ohio City this month runs Short North next month, then Over-the-Rhine the month after. Same operators, three audiences.
Cities we cover in Ohio

Surface mix in Ohio
- Commercial walls: Ohio City, Short North, Over-the-Rhine carry the post-industrial brick density
- Construction hoarding: continuous rotation through the active growth zones in all three cities
- Pole inventory: Euclid, High Street, Main Street arterials
- Sidewalk stencils: citywide, chalk-safe, winter-adapted compounds
- Interior installs: galleries, bars, and restaurants across the artist-community blocks
Permits in Ohio
Ohio Revised Code § 2927.31 treats unauthorized poster placement as criminal damage. With written owner consent, the install is legal. We hold consent on file for every wall before paste goes up. All three cities run moderate code enforcement (14-21 day removal cycles when complaints come in), but in practice the post-industrial corridors actively welcome commercial activation.
Private property plus written consent. No public infrastructure, no transit, no right-of-way.

Three cities, three different cuts of creative. The walls hold longer here than on the coasts; the same dollar buys more days, and the same crew goes back to refresh prints next quarter on the same blocks.
Cross the state line.
Ohio clients regularly run regional buys that spill into neighboring markets. Same operator contract, same field log. Different state line.
Statewide FAQ.
The questions every Ohio brief opens with, answered with the operator answer, not the marketing one.
Q · 01 Where in Ohio do you run campaigns?
Cleveland (Ohio City, Tremont, East Village, downtown), Columbus (Short North, Franklinton, Arena District, downtown), Cincinnati (Over-the-Rhine, Northside, downtown, Newport across the river). Each city pulls a different audience. Cleveland: post-industrial arts, blue-collar density. Columbus: students, tech, young professionals. Cincinnati: corporate downtown, OTR creative class.
Q · 02 Is wheatpasting legal in Ohio?
Private property with the owner's written consent is legal. Ohio Revised Code § 2927.31 covers criminal damage to property without consent; the consent itself is what we secure. Public infrastructure (poles, transit, right-of-way) is never touched. Cities respond to complaints as property-rights matters, and our paperwork is the answer.
Q · 03 How much does an Ohio campaign cost?
Single-city, single-neighborhood: $5K to $10K for 12 to 18 walls with print, install, and documentation. Multi-neighborhood Cleveland: $16K to $28K. Columbus same range. Cincinnati same range. A three-city statewide run lands at $40K to $70K. Holds average 25 to 40 days in the Midwest, which raises the per-day CPM against the same dollar spent on the coasts.
Q · 04 How fast can a campaign go live?
72 to 96 hours from approved creative to first install on pre-cleared properties. New properties need 5 to 7 days of coordination. Owner outreach is the long pole, not crew availability.
Q · 05 Which Ohio neighborhoods get the strongest coverage?
Cleveland: Ohio City and Tremont carry the densest paste-friendly brick; East Village and downtown round out coverage. Columbus: Short North is gallery and retail, Franklinton is artist-loft conversion, Arena District is mixed-use, downtown is corporate and retail. Cincinnati: Over-the-Rhine is the creative-class corridor, Northside is industrial conversion, downtown is corporate, Newport across the river covers waterfront hospitality.
