A coffee launch pasted across the city the day it went live.
Grindin went across New York at jumbo scale in two rounds, and the second round landed on the day the brand launched.
Grindin is the coffee brand from Pusha T and Pharrell Williams, roasted with Lavazza and sold at grindincoffee.com.
The name is the Clipse record. The brand unveiled itself to the public on Monday, September 14, at two New York events, a breakfast at Ludlow House and a party at Time Again on Canal Street. The coverage that week ran in Complex, Hypebeast, Hot 97 and Vibe. None of it is about posters. It is the week the posters went up into.
The buy was 100 jumbo wheatpaste posters at 48 by 72, full colour, several designs, one of them carrying a QR code, across six locations in two rounds. Beyond Street Media handled production and installation in house, start to finish.



Where we ran it.
The 100 sheets went onto more walls than that, inside those areas and along Sixth and Ninth Avenues through Chelsea, and the install log strings them into one route.
Round one was a single wall on Prince Street in SoHo: a green plywood construction fence with a concrete barrier base, under white scaffolding, on a cobblestone block beside an Equinox and a hanging LOCK IN SOHO banner. Twelve sheets in two designs, six of each, alternating, with a Rothy's poster and a run of red posters already on the fence beside them.
Round two opened on Sixth Avenue at Carmine Street, on the boarded window bays of a vacant dark-brick corner storefront next to Luke's Lobster, a rinsed decal on the door glass at 281 Sixth. From there the crew worked west SoHo wall by wall. A black plywood hoarding on a red-brick building with One World Trade Center standing at the end of the street. A second black hoarding under scaffold pipes beneath the Metropolitan Lumber and Hardware ghost sign, next to the San Carlo awning. The corner under the Bistro Les Amis canvas at Spring Street, with Ben's Pizza and mochidoki across the way. A peeling ochre storefront beside the Jenna Perry Hair salon, a cyan SOHO banner down the block. A red-brick corner with a blue-grey ground floor and a VISION sign, its black-boarded bays facing a Prada billboard.
Back on Prince Street the sheets went onto graffitied steel roll gates and a green hoarding stamped FOOD PORT. Then north up Sixth Avenue into the Village: a green board hoarding beside Askili Orchard and Village Dental Medicine at 401 Avenue of the Americas, opposite the Chipotle at 405, and a painted board wall at the West 4th Street subway entrance beside Y&Z Smoke Shop, under a banner reading THE VILLAGE. The kiosk clock in frame reads 7:39 PM, 70 degrees.
After dark the route went to a laundromat wall at number 105 under a TAILORS sign, then to Sixth Avenue in the Forties, a green construction fence at 1140 Sixth beside a Wells Fargo branch, with a Sonata poster and a site-safety board alongside. Then a hoarding under a sidewalk shed near West 14th Street, Bulgari and Scarlett Gasque posters either side, transit ticket machines and Pratt banners in the next frames. Then a long green hoarding in Chelsea under a red Interstate Foods sign, next to the High Line Chelsea Market Passage posters for PinkPantheress and Solange. Then across the river to a hoarding in Downtown Brooklyn, lit apartment windows behind it and a stack of Netflix posters for Stav to one side. The last stop was 125th Street in Harlem, at 123 West 125th on the brief and, in the photographs, a dark green hoarding near Second Avenue on the east end, under a tree canopy with peeled poster residue on the left and lit high-rise windows behind.
Chinatown is on the brief and not in the photographs we received, so it is not pictured here.
Three designs are on the walls.
A blue crate of dishes and silverware, shot from above, with the red GRINDIN wordmark across the top. A hand holding a cup over a burlap sack, the wordmark running along the edge. And the one that carries the campaign: a two-sheet spread, two men holding cups on the left sheet and the crate of dishes on the right, the wordmark bridging the seam so the pair reads as one picture. Small QR panels sit at the sheet corners. In daylight the wordmark reads red; under streetlight it goes orange.
Round one on Prince Street used the first two designs alternating. Round two is the spread almost everywhere, 88 sheets across the remaining walls, with a compact single-sheet version of it appearing on Sixth Avenue in the Village where a bay would not take the pair. Where the creative was built to span two adjacent sheets as one continuous image, the crew installed the pair side by side and matched the edges so the join sits inside the picture rather than across it.
Grindin's own content capture happened in SoHo during the run. Three frames at the VISION corner show what looks like that shoot in progress, the same afternoon the sheets went up.
Beyond Street Media printed and installed the run in house, both inside the campaign number. A jumbo block is the same craft as our other paste-up poster campaigns, scaled to one oversize format and repeated across the market. Every sheet is wheatpaste.
Round one was one afternoon on one wall.
The log for Thursday, September 10 runs 15:36 to 17:07 on Prince Street.
Round two was a loop through the city in a single session. The log for Monday, September 14 opens at 15:51 on Sixth Avenue at Carmine and reaches west SoHo by 17:41, where the crew spent the best part of an hour across the largest group of walls in the run. It comes back through Prince Street at 19:17, is on Sixth Avenue in the Village at 19:33, at the laundromat by 20:13, in Midtown at 20:49, back down to 14th Street at 21:36 and Ninth Avenue in Chelsea at 22:21, in Downtown Brooklyn at 23:21, and closes on 125th Street at 01:20. Daylight at the start, streetlight by Midtown, and the last sheets went up after one in the morning. That is where the 88 went, and it is the day Grindin launched, so the paper was up across the city while the party was on.
Proof.
Every frame carries its install time, and 336 carry the coordinates they were shot at, held in a private index rather than inside the published files. Thirty-seven arrived from the phone stored sideways and were set upright before anything went on the page.
Notes.
On a launch, that trade is the point: a shorter list of walls, each carrying the whole picture, timed to the week the name is in the press.
Wheatpaste posters start at $3,500, with the rest of the published floors on the pricing page.
How do you install a design that spans two posters?
The pair goes up side by side and the edges are matched by hand so the picture continues across the join. On this run the GRINDIN wordmark sits across the seam, which means a misaligned pair would show in the lettering first. Where a bay would not take two sheets, the crew used the single-sheet version of the same composition instead.
What does a jumbo run look like on launch week?
Twelve sheets on one SoHo wall four days out, then 88 in a single loop on the day itself, opening mid-afternoon on Sixth Avenue and finishing in Harlem after one in the morning. Printing and installation are both in house and both sit inside the campaign number, so there is no print vendor between press and wall.
What kind of walls took the posters?
Green plywood construction fences and hoardings did most of the work, in SoHo, Midtown, Chelsea, Brooklyn and Harlem. The rest went onto black-painted plywood, boarded window bays on vacant corner storefronts, steel roll gates and a painted board wall at a subway entrance. Most of it already carried other paper.

Installed September 10 and 14, 2026, the second round finishing after one in the morning on the 15th. Every wall photographed as it went up.



26 additional installs.


























Where the posters landed.
Eleven stops across the two rounds, each pin a corridor rather than a door number. Ten are photographed walls, placed from the install-day GPS; the eleventh is the West 125th Street address on the brief. Chinatown, also on the brief, is not pinned because no frames from that stop are in the set.
