Practical details
Our brand activations are designed to be seamless and stress-free. Each session includes a lead professional artist, all high-quality spray cans, protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks. We typically require a minimum space of 3x3 metres, but we can scale up for massive festival installations. Safety is paramount; we use low-pressure cans for better control and eco-friendly options where possible. Duration is flexible, usually ranging from 2 hours for a quick launch to full-day festival setups. We handle all floor and wall protection, ensuring your Basel venue remains pristine. Best of all, we offer a dedicated backup artist for every major event, so you never have to worry about a "no-show" ruining your grand opening or marketing campaign.
Pricing
Every brand activation in Basel is as unique as the company behind it. Our pricing is transparent and reflects the scale of your vision.

Frequently asked questions
Is the spray paint safe for my guests and the environment?
Because safety is our top priority, we exclusively use high-quality, low-odour aerosol paints that are safer for both participants and the environment. We provide all necessary protective gear, including premium masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional facilitators are trained to manage indoor and outdoor spaces in Basel, ensuring the brand activation remains clean, safe, and professional throughout the entire event.
Can we host a graffiti brand activation indoors in Basel?
Absolutely! We regularly host brand activations at indoor venues across Basel, from industrial warehouses to sleek gallery spaces. We use specialized floor protection and can even set up temporary 'spray booths' or use water-based pens and low-pressure cans to ensure your venue remains spotless. It’s all the thrill of street art without any of the mess or permanent damage to the property.
How far in advance do we need to book our event?
We recommend booking your Basel brand activation at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer festival season or the Art Basel period. However, we have a large team of backup artists and flexible logistics, so we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Just reach out, and we will do our best to make your marketing vision a reality on short notice.
What kind of graffiti styles can you incorporate into our brand?
Diversity is our strength. We can create large-scale 3D murals, interactive 'colouring-in' walls for guests, customized branded apparel (like sneakers or caps), or live performance painting where guests watch a masterpiece emerge. We tailor the specific graffiti style to match your brand’s aesthetic, whether that’s gritty and raw or clean, modern, and corporate for your Basel audience.
What happens if we need to cancel or change our plans?
We understand that brand events can be unpredictable. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists ready to step in, ensuring your activation in Basel goes ahead exactly as planned, even if a lead artist falls ill. We are committed to your project's success.
How long does a typical brand activation session last?
Our standard brand activations in Basel typically last between 2 and 4 hours, which provides ample time for engagement and mural completion. However, we can adapt to full-day festival schedules or short, high-impact 1-hour sessions for press launches. We work around your event timeline to ensure the graffiti element integrates perfectly with your other marketing activities.
How does graffiti help with our social media engagement?
Street art is inherently social and visually captivating, making it perfect for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Guests love sharing photos of themselves 'tagging' or posing in front of a vibrant, branded mural. By creating a physical, interactive experience in the heart of Basel, you generate authentic user-generated content that extends your brand’s reach far beyond the physical location of the event.
