Cities we run in South Carolina.
Active install markets across South Carolina. Tap any city for its local work, neighborhoods, and pricing.
Six formats. One field log.
The same six disciplines run in every South Carolina city. Only the format mix shifts by market. One crew, one contract, one paper trail.
The state law. The city rules.
Every South Carolina placement runs on permitted walls and written owner consent, with a documented paper trail. Zero municipal removals on record since 2019.
State frame. South Carolina statute governs outdoor advertising visible from federal-aid highways. That's the layer most agencies misread as "the law." Off-highway street-level work is governed city-by-city.
City reality. Charleston runs on city sign permits + owner consent (5–8 day lead in tier-1 corridors). Greenville layer their own BIDs and downtown improvement districts on top. Lead times shift with the calendar. Election season slows everything.
Where we operate without surprises. Every South Carolina city below has been audited for the actual permit path. Lead times reflect real owner / BID response, not statutory minimums. Brief us and we route through what's actually possible this week.
Where we don't run paid work. Transit property without contract, state DOT right-of-way, federal parkland. If a brief routes there, we redirect to adjacent private surfaces and document the lift in writing.
| City | Primary permit path | Owner consent + cost | Lead time |

Brief a South Carolina campaignThe south carolina playbook.
The long read for buyers scoping South Carolina: how we book, scout, permit, and ship across the market.
Four South Carolina cities, four different reads. Charleston is port, tourism, and historic district. Greenville is the BMW corridor with a downtown built for foot traffic. Columbia is capital, government, and USC. Hilton Head is resort hospitality. The crew that runs King Street this month runs Main Street in Greenville next month, then the Vista in Columbia the month after. Same operators, four audiences.

Permits in South Carolina
SC Code § 16-13-10 treats unauthorized property alteration as vandalism. With written owner consent, the install is legal. We hold consent on file for every wall before paste goes up. Enforcement is lighter than the Northeast: Greenville moves on complaints in 10 to 14 days, Charleston historic district in 15 to 21, Columbia in 14 to 21, Hilton Head in 21 to 30. Outside the Charleston historic core, property owners actively welcome commercial activation.
Private property plus written consent. No public infrastructure, no transit, no right-of-way.

Statewide FAQ.
The questions every South Carolina brief opens with, answered with the operator answer, not the marketing one.
Q · 01 Where in South Carolina do you run campaigns?
Charleston (King Street, historic district, contemporary downtown, NoMo), Greenville (downtown core, Main Street, Falls Park corridor, West End), Columbia (Vista, Five Points, Main Street, USC-adjacent), Hilton Head (commercial corridor, resort-adjacent retail). Each city pulls a different audience. Charleston: tourists, heritage buyers, port-adjacent professionals. Greenville: BMW corridor tech, young professionals, downtown retail. Columbia: state government, USC students, mixed commercial. Hilton Head: hospitality and resort traffic.
Q · 02 Is wheatpasting legal in South Carolina?
Private property with the owner's written consent is legal. SC Code § 16-13-10 covers vandalism without consent; the consent itself is what we secure before any paste hits a wall. Public infrastructure (poles, transit, right-of-way) is never touched. Enforcement runs lighter than the Northeast: Greenville responds in 10 to 14 days, Charleston historic district 15 to 21, Columbia 14 to 21, Hilton Head 21 to 30.
Q · 03 How much does a South Carolina campaign cost?
Single-city, single-neighborhood: $3K to $7K for 8 to 12 walls with print, install, and documentation. Charleston historic district runs $4K to $9K because the permitting overhead is higher. Greenville downtown $3.5K to $8K. Columbia Vista $3K to $7K. Hilton Head resort-corridor installs $2.5K to $6K. A three-city statewide run lands at $20K to $40K. Holds average 20 to 40 days, which raises the per-day CPM against the same dollar spent on the coasts.
Q · 04 How fast can a campaign go live?
Greenville runs 48 to 72 hours on pre-cleared walls. Charleston and Columbia run 72 to 96 hours. New properties need 5 to 7 days of owner coordination. Owner outreach is the long pole, not crew availability.
Q · 05 Which South Carolina neighborhoods get the strongest coverage?
Charleston: King Street carries the densest retail brick, historic district holds heritage-conscious property owners, contemporary downtown pulls younger audiences. Greenville: downtown core has the densest wall inventory, Falls Park corridor pulls event-adjacent foot traffic, West End covers mixed conversion. Columbia: Vista is young-professional density, Five Points is retail and hospitality, USC-adjacent corridors run year-round. Hilton Head: resort-corridor retail concentration with the longest holds in the state.
Q · 06 What services work best across South Carolina?
Wheatpaste leads in Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia. Pole stickers work in concentrated arterials: King Street in Charleston, Main Street in Greenville, Gervais in Columbia. Sidewalk stencils run year-round with humidity-adjusted compounds. Interior installs anchor bars, restaurants, and hospitality in King Street, the Vista, and Hilton Head resort retail. Neighborhood saturation hits hardest in Greenville's downtown core where long holds compound a single install pass.
Q · 07 Do I need different creative for Charleston vs. Greenville vs. Columbia?
Yes, three different cuts. Charleston: heritage-respecting and tourism-aware reads cleanest on King Street and through the historic district. Greenville: downtown professional and BMW-corridor tech for the Main Street core, community-forward for West End. Columbia: capital and civic tone for the Vista and Main Street, lifestyle for Five Points. One creative across all three is a tell that nobody scouted the cities.
Q · 08 What's the cheapest way to test?
Single-neighborhood sidewalk stencil run: $2K to $3.5K for 15 to 20 placements on King Street, in Greenville's Falls Park area, or in the Columbia Vista. Single hero wall test: $600 to $1.2K in any of those three. Either gives a real read on placement quality before committing to a multi-city wheatpaste spend.
Q · 09 How does the South Carolina hurricane window affect installation?
August through October brings tropical activity to Charleston and Hilton Head. We track NHC advisories, stage inland for coastal jobs when a system is in the cone, and shift install windows by 24 to 48 hours rather than canceling. Spring rainfall (March through May) extends sidewalk-stencil cure times but doesn't delay timelines. The rest of the year runs ideal. No seasonal blackout; the protocol changes.
