Wheatpaste Advertising.

Wheatpaste advertising (also called paste-up poster campaigns or street poster advertising) is a form of guerrilla marketing where large-format paper posters are adhered to walls, construction hoardings, and legal posting surfaces using a water-based adhesive. The result is a high-visibility, high-texture street presence that digital advertising cannot replicate.

Yes, when done correctly. Beyond Street Media secures property-owner permission on every paid campaign surface. We maintain relationships with building owners, developers, and construction management firms in every city we operate in. We never post on public infrastructure or unpermitted surfaces.

Wheatpaste campaigns start at $3,500. Building-side murals $30,000 to $65,000-plus. Expedited Campaigns typically double standard rate (+80 to 150-plus percent) for 24-to-72 hour brief-to-wall, quoted case-by-case. Final quote returns in 24-48 hours. Range varies by turnaround, size, location count, and combined service mix. Full rate card on /pricing/.

Five to seven business days from approved artwork to first install. Same-day and 48-hour emergency installs are available in NYC and LA for time-sensitive drops. National multi-city rollouts are scheduled 2–4 weeks out for crew coordination.

All 50 states, with active install crews in 40 named metros including NYC, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Washington DC, Seattle, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Nashville, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Portland, Minneapolis, and Orlando.

Every campaign closes with full photographic documentation. Every poster, every wall, every hit. Daily install logs go out while the campaign is live. A final wrap deck with geo-tagged install photos is delivered after the campaign ends. Documentation is non-negotiable at Beyond Street Media.

Exactly. Dense neighborhoods like SoMa, the Mission, Williamsburg, and the Lower East Side are where wheatpaste campaigns perform best. High foot traffic, strong design-culture communities, and organic social amplification create momentum. We scout surfaces in your target neighborhoods and ensure every placement captures pedestrian attention.

Beyond Street Media maintains property-owner relationships and city-specific compliance knowledge in every market we operate. We secure written permission on all paid placements, track city-by-city posting ordinances, and flag any signage restrictions. For construction hoardings, we coordinate directly with building management and general contractors.

It depends on the surface. Walls and storefront placements weather naturally over several weeks of sun, rain, and street activity. Construction hoardings hold 8 to 12 weeks of uninterrupted visibility on active projects, which is why they anchor longer campaigns. Every placement is photographed at install, so you have proof of exactly what went up and where, and refresh runs can extend the campaign if the window needs to stretch.

Same craft, different scope. Wheatpaste advertising is the format itself: large-format paper posters pasted to legal surfaces, booked anywhere from a single hero wall up. A paste-up poster campaign is the saturation buy built on that format, multi-wall, multi-block runs where route density drives the impression count. If you want one statement wall, book wheatpaste.
