Street-level marketing, printed and installed by us.
Guerrilla marketing puts your brand on Salem 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.
- 01Brief & route
You send the brand, dates, and audience. We map the Salem 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 Salem.
Salem is the state capital an hour south of Portland, so it sits outside the Portland out-of-home auction entirely. A brand that runs on permissioned walls along Liberty, Commercial, and State Streets owns the corridor that the Portland media buys skip, in front of a steady foot-level government-and-resident workforce rather than drive-by traffic on Interstate 5. The street is the one place outside the auction.
Three reasons brands book us here
- 1Downtown is the state-capital core
Salem's Downtown commercial grid carries the retail, restaurant, and office frontage that fills on weekdays from the state government and resident workforce. The walls along Liberty, Commercial, and State Streets catch a steady foot-level audience, not drive-by on Interstate 5.
- 2The Riverfront and Capitol Mall draw the public crowd
The Riverfront Park along the Willamette and the Capitol Mall pull event, government, and visitor foot traffic through the year. Reach here is street-level on permissioned commercial walls for a public-sector and resident audience.
- 3One capital metro, uncontested street surface
Salem is open ground for documented street-level work outside the Portland out-of-home auction an hour north. A brand that runs on permissioned walls here owns the corridor that the Portland media buys skip. The street is the one place outside the auction.

Surfaces, permits & timing
Surfaces
3 neighborhoods on the active route: wheatpaste walls, scaffold corners, and mural-ready sites scouted per brief. Brick, concrete, hoarding, and storefront.
Permit path
Under Oregon property-rights law a Salem paste is legal once the private wall owner puts consent in writing, and that signed paperwork is in hand before any crew rolls out along Liberty, Commercial, or State. We stay entirely off public infrastructure, meaning utility poles, transit, and the right-of-way, and the state-owned buildings ringing the Capitol Mall are off the table without institutional sign-off. The Downtown commercial blocks hold the richest paste-friendly wall stock, so our compliance file logs each block's facade-modification rules and clears them before the crew dispatches.
When to run
The legislative session window early in the year pulls the densest government and press foot traffic into Downtown and the Capitol Mall. The Oregon State Fair runs late August into early September and draws a heavy statewide crowd. Riverfront Park events and the summer concert series bring warm-season foot traffic along the Willamette. Willamette Valley winters run wet, so crews schedule installs around rain cycles; summer and early fall are the cleanest install seasons.

Buyer questions.
What Salem 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 Salem?
Yes. Oregon property-rights law makes a paste legal the moment a private wall owner signs off, and we hold that written consent before a single sheet goes up on Liberty, Commercial, or State. The state-owned buildings around the Capitol Mall stay off the board without institutional sign-off, and utility poles, transit, and the public right-of-way are never in play. Our compliance file carries the Downtown facade rules block by block, which is where the paste-friendly brick concentrates.
Q · 02 How much does a Salem wheatpaste campaign cost?
Salem campaigns open at $3,500 with both printing and installation folded in. Spreading a run across Downtown, the Riverfront, and the Capitol Mall lifts the number off that floor, since pricing follows poster volume and crew days on the ground rather than whose logo is on the sheet. Wall count, format size, turnaround, and any added pole stickers or stencils all move the figure, and we return a firm quote in 24 to 48 hours.
Q · 03 Which Salem neighborhoods get the strongest paste-up coverage?
Downtown holds the deepest wall inventory: raw brick and painted retail frontage along Liberty, Commercial, and State, filling on weekdays with the government and resident workforce. The Riverfront adds park-adjacent commercial frontage and construction hoarding beside the Willamette, catching event and visitor traffic. The Capitol Mall office corridors reach a public-sector and resident audience, though state property there stays off-limits. The most reliable paste brick sits in the Downtown core.
Q · 04 How long does it take to launch a Salem campaign?
Usually seven to fourteen days from creative lock to the first wall. Two windows stretch that: the early-year legislative session and the Oregon State Fair from late August into early September, when Downtown property coordination and crew days get tight. Wet Willamette Valley winters also push installs around rain cycles, so summer and early fall run cleanest. Outside those windows a press-ready file can go up the same week.
Q · 05 Do you run pole stickers and stencils in Salem too?
Yes. Pole stickers go on commercially permissioned poles and the construction hoarding along the Downtown corridor, never on public utility poles. Sidewalk stencils run in chalk paint or biodegradable spray on the high-foot-traffic pavement around the Riverfront and Downtown. Each format lands with GPS-stamped photo proof, wide, mid, and detail on every placement.
