In advertising, you need to outsmart the noise if you're to grab attention. And when an ad looks more like an art installation rather than a big "buy this" sign, then you have a winner. That's the beauty of painted walls.

Often hand-painted, painted walls are advertisements affixed directly on building surfaces. They’re creative canvasses that provide endless opportunities to get people talking. These wall murals can appear in different creative shapes and sizes and are custom-built to provide long-term exposure to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Painted walls are prominent where foot-traffic is high and in urbanized markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Typically contracted for months and sometimes years, painted walls have the power to capture and sustain the essence of your brand over a long period of time.
Painted Walls: For Brands Who Want a Bigger Canvas
Painted walls offer high-impact messaging. Limited only by the size of the façade, these hand-painted billboards help align your marketing outreach with your long-term brand narrative. They help you grab attention in a unique, creative way. And can be just as effective as billboards, considering their potential for going viral.
Commercial murals have a long history – you can find relics of such advertising in almost every city, faded beyond recognition or hidden by architecture. In the digital age, the nostalgic power of hand-painted out-of-home gets people to pay attention. Painted walls offer a chance to connect with the public in the way only art and culture can.
If you want to build brand recognition and increase awareness, painted walls weave in an element of artistry in your marketing that makes your brand hard to ignore. Artwork doesn’t just capture attention; it draws people in and ignites their curiosity. The public wants to appreciate the detail and quality of your artwork up close.
When located in high commuter traffic areas, painted walls can easily become landmarks in a city. Investing in painted walls is a fun way to interact with your audience and create a buzz around your brand.
