Guerrilla marketing across Washington, DC.

Washington, DC exclusively. Shaw (artist and cultural anchor, 30 to 45 day holds), Adams Morgan (young professional and nightlife, 20 to 35 days), H Street (emerging arts and nightlife, 25 to 40 days), Georgetown (university and professional, 20 to 30 days), U Street (historic LGBTQ and cultural corridor, 25 to 40 days), Capitol Hill (government-adjacent professional, 20 to 35 days), Navy Yard (mixed-use development, 25 to 40 days). All seven have documented campaigns on file.

Private property with the owner's written permission is legal. DC Code § 22-3312 covers graffiti without consent; the written consent is what we secure on every wall before install day. DC Code Enforcement is strict but professional (10 to 14 day removal response). Federal property and government buildings are absolutely off-limits. Property owners in commercial DC actively welcome the activation.

Single-neighborhood: from $5K, typically landing in the $5K to $9K range with print, install, and documentation. Multi-neighborhood saturation (Shaw, H Street, Adams Morgan) runs $16K to $28K. An all-DC pass runs $28K to $50K. Political and nonprofit briefs often scale larger because institutional demand pushes volume. Documented reference: the San Diego Palantir campaign in the $14K to $18K range.

DC supports 72 to 96-hour saturation from approved creative to documented install on established property relationships. Nonprofit and institutional partnerships move fast. Same-week turnarounds work with print-ready creative and pre-approved walls. Government-adjacent properties need 5 to 7 days of advance coordination. Federal property is prohibited.

Shaw (densest wall inventory, artist and cultural anchor, 30 to 45 day holds, highest social pickup), H Street (emerging arts and nightlife, 25 to 40 days, fast-growing neighborhood), U Street (historic LGBTQ and cultural corridor, 25 to 40 days, community-cultural partnerships), Adams Morgan (young professional and nightlife, 20 to 35 days), Georgetown (university and professional, 20 to 30 days, upscale positioning), Capitol Hill (government-adjacent, 20 to 35 days, policymaker audience), Navy Yard (mixed-use development, 25 to 40 days, growth market).

Wheatpaste leads in political and advocacy verticals. Pole stickers perform in downtown and museum-corridor placement: Pennsylvania Avenue, K Street, 14th Street. Sidewalk stencils run year-round with chalk-safe formulations. Interior installs anchor bars, restaurants, and nonprofit partnerships across Shaw, H Street, U Street, Adams Morgan. Election cycles drive volume spikes; off-election years run a steady nonprofit and commercial baseline.

Yes. Shaw (artist, diverse cultural, young professional, community-rooted) responds to inclusive, community-anchored, culturally forward work. H Street (young, emerging creative, nightlife) responds to edgy and trend-forward. U Street (LGBTQ, historic cultural, diverse) responds to inclusive and heritage-respectful. Adams Morgan (young professional, nightlife) reads lifestyle and entertainment. Georgetown (university, professional, upscale) wants polished and intellectual. Capitol Hill (government, nonprofit, advocate) reads policy-forward and institutional.

Single-neighborhood sidewalk stencil run: sidewalk stencils from $2,500, with a single-corridor run in Shaw, H Street, or U Street typically landing in the $3.5K to $5K range. Stencils give a real read on placement quality and the documentation process before a larger wheatpaste spend. A hero-wall test at a Shaw or H Street major intersection starts at $1K and shows neighborhood visibility in a high-traffic corridor.

Presidential years (2024, 2028) drive heavy wheatpaste volume from campaigns, ballot initiatives, and advocacy organizations. Midterms (2026) also drive significant volume. Off-election years carry the nonprofit and commercial baseline. Campaigns timed to voter registration drives, get-out-the-vote, and ballot-initiative promotion hit maximum intensity. Multi-neighborhood saturation across Shaw, H Street, Capitol Hill, and U Street reaches government and advocate audiences in the same week.
