How it works
- Initial kōrero: We chat about your brand goals, target audience, and the vibe of your Auckland event to create a unique concept.
- Design phase: Our artists create a custom sketch or stencil design that incorporates your logos, brand colours, and key messaging.
- Logistics check: We scout the location (online or in-person) to ensure we have the right ventilation and floor protection for the spray session.
- On-site setup: Our crew arrives early to set up mobile walls, layout protective gear, and prep the premium spray cans.
- Live demonstration: We kick off with a high-energy demo to draw a crowd and show everyone how it's done.
- Interactive painting: Guests are invited to grab a can, put on a mask, and add their own creative flair to the brand mural.
- Final touches: Our pro artists touch up the edges to ensure the final product looks polished for those crucial social media photos.
- Sustainability & pack down: We clean the site thoroughly, recycle empty cans, and can even arrange for the finished artwork to be moved to your office.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a brand activation graffiti session usually last?
Most Auckland brand activations run between 2 and 4 hours, though we can adapt to full-day festival schedules or multi-day pop-ups. We arrive early to set up and stay late to pack down, ensuring the creative process fits perfectly within your event timeline without any stress on your end. We're flexible to suit the vibe of your specific marketing goals.
Is it difficult for people with no art experience to participate?
Not at all! Our professional Kiwi artists can provide pre-stencilled designs or "paint-by-numbers" layouts so your guests feel confident. We also offer live murals where our artists do the heavy lifting while your audience contributes small, meaningful details. It’s all about participation and feeling like a creative legend, regardless of previous artistic experience or skill level.
What safety gear and precautions do you provide?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos for all participants to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. We also use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints. Whether your activation is in a Wynyard Quarter warehouse or a Ponsonby courtyard, we ensure a clean, safe, and professional setup that meets all New Zealand health and safety standards.
Do you offer brand activations in other NZ cities like Wellington?
Absolutely! We love traveling across Aotearoa. Beyond our main hub in Auckland, we frequently host activations in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, and Queenstown. If you have a national roadshow planned, we can coordinate multiple artists to ensure brand consistency across every city. Just let us know your tour dates and locations, and we will handle the artistic logistics.
What surfaces can we use for the graffiti activation?
We can work on almost anything! While we often use large canvases or custom-built mobile walls, we can also brand skateboards, tote bags, sneakers, or even vehicle wraps. If you want something truly unique, we can explore 3D street art options that create incredible optical illusions for social media. If you can dream it, our Auckland crew can probably spray it!
How far in advance should we book our Auckland activation?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for busy summer event seasons in Auckland (December to March). Ideally, 4-6 weeks out gives us plenty of time to custom-design stencils and prep the gear. However, we have a deep roster of backup artists, so even if you have a last-minute 'sweet-as' idea, get in touch and we’ll do our best to make it happen!
