What We Do

What Is Guerilla Advertising?

Guerilla advertising is anything that falls outside the traditional realm of outdoor advertising — designed to grab attention in a creative, unexpected way. When you find an ad in an unanticipated place, when it’s so bold it can’t be ignored, or when it blurs the line between art and marketing — that’s guerilla advertising.

Guerilla advertising works because it makes an impression.
The best campaigns put ads in surprising places — a dollar
bill with a sticker over George Washington’s face, arresting
chalk art on a sidewalk, or a flash mob that blurs the line
between performance and promotion.

When you make people stop and stare, you’ve already won half the battle.

These tactics work because they make an impression — and
these days, making an impression means a secondary way to
build buzz through social media. People post about things
they find clever and amusing, even if it’s advertising.
This creates another channel for your message and increases
the possibility it goes viral.

Types of Guerilla Advertising

From sidewalk stencils to wall projections, guerilla
advertising takes many forms. Here are the most effective
formats we run for our clients.

Sidewalk Stencils

Stencils laid on sidewalks and painted in with chalk or paint. Affordable, eye-catching, and perfect for high foot traffic areas.

Wall Projections

Night projectors display images or video on buildings at
night. No approvals needed, no trace left behind —
turnaround time is hours.

Street Teams

People on the ground distributing product samples,
coupons, flyers, and stickers. Direct, personal,
and impossible to ignore.

Stickering

Placing stickers anywhere and everywhere to bomb an
area with your brand. A true guerilla format with
maximum street-level saturation.

Flyer Distribution

Targeted flyer campaigns get your message directly into people’s hands. High-traffic areas, events, and retail corridors are ideal for maximum reach and recall.

We also run dedicated campaigns for wall projections, murals, and wheatpasting — each with their own page covering costs, examples, and how to get started.

How Guerilla Advertising Can Help You

It's unexpected

Guerilla advertising works because people don’t see it coming. An ad in an unanticipated place demands attention in a way a billboard or digital ad never can.

It creates buzz

The best guerilla campaigns get people talking — and posting. A clever stencil or projection can spread across social media and reach an audience far beyond the physical location.

It's cost-effective

High impact doesn’t have to mean high cost. Some of the most effective guerilla options use everyday surfaces and simple materials to create unforgettable moments.

It's highly shareable

People photograph and share guerilla ads because they’re genuinely surprising and creative. Your campaign gets a second life online long after the physical execution is done.

It reaches people in context

Guerilla advertising meets your audience where they already are — on the street, at events, in neighborhoods. The message lands in the real world, not behind a screen.

It's versatile

From a $50 chalk stencil to a large-scale wall projection, guerilla advertising scales to fit any budget and any market — from local pop-ups to national campaigns.

Sidewalk Stencils

What are sidewalk stencils?

Sidewalk stencils are created by laying a stencil on a sidewalk
and painting it in with chalk or paint. Chalk is typically
preferred — it’s temporary, nontoxic, and most cities have no
ordinances against it.

What are the benefits?

Sidewalk stencils can be placed on almost any sidewalk in any
market. They’re great for pop-up stores, record releases, product
launches, and events. Placed in high foot traffic areas they
create immediate buzz at street level.

How much do sidewalk stencils cost?

Sidewalk stencils can be executed for as little as $50 per
installation depending on the market and complexity of the
stencil — making them one of the most cost-effective forms
of guerilla advertising available.

Street Teams

What is a street team campaign?

Street teams are people on the ground distributing anything
from product samples to coupons to flyers and stickers.
It’s one of the most direct and personal forms of guerilla
advertising — your message goes directly into someone’s hands.

What are the benefits?

Street teams create real human connections with your target
audience. They can be deployed at events, concerts, outside
retail locations, college campuses, or anywhere your audience
gathers. The personal interaction makes your brand memorable
in a way passive advertising can’t replicate.

What can street teams distribute?

Product samples, branded merchandise, flyers, coupons,
stickers, QR code cards, and more. Street teams can also
gather data, conduct surveys, or drive foot traffic to a
nearby activation or store.

Stickering

What is a stickering campaign?

Stickering campaigns involve placing stickers anywhere and
everywhere possible to saturate an area with your brand.
Street poles, lamp posts, benches, windows, and any other
surface become canvases for your message.

What are the benefits?

Stickering is one of the most cost-effective guerilla formats
available. Stickers are cheap to produce, fast to deploy, and
can be placed by a small team across an entire neighborhood in
a single outing. They stick around long after the campaign
ends, delivering continued impressions at no extra cost.

Where do stickering campaigns work best?

High foot traffic urban areas, music festivals, college
campuses, and events like SXSW are ideal. The denser the
foot traffic, the more impressions your stickers generate.
Targeting areas where your audience already gathers maximizes
relevance and recall.

Wild Posting® + QR Code Campaigns

Wild Posting® isn’t just analog anymore. More and more brands are combining physical posters with QR code activations to bridge the gap between street-level engagement and digital interaction. These hybrid campaigns offer the best of both worlds: the visual impact of outdoor media with the trackability and reach of online platforms.

How Brands Use QR Codes in Wild Posting®

QR codes make Wild Posting® campaigns measurable—giving you real-time data on scans, location performance, and user behavior. Whether you’re building hype around an album drop or creating buzz for a streetwear launch, these scannable campaigns increase engagement and prove ROI.
