Is the spray paint safe for my guests to use during the activation?
Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and use low-odor spray paints whenever possible. Whether your activation is in Maboneng or Sandton, we ensure the site is well-ventilated and that every guest feels comfortable and protected while they create.
Do we need a specific type of venue for a graffiti brand activation?
We are incredibly flexible! We can set up temporary 'graffiti walls' using eco-friendly plastic wrap, wooden panels, or large canvases, meaning we leave no permanent marks on the venue. If you have a legal wall or a dedicated vehicle you want painted, we can do that too. Our setup is designed to be mobile and adaptable to almost any indoor or outdoor location in Joburg or Pretoria.
How long does a typical brand activation session last?
For branding activations, we typically recommend sessions between 2 to 4 hours, depending on your foot traffic. However, we've done all-day activations for multi-day festivals and short 1-hour 'express' sessions for media launches. We work with your event schedule to ensure the energy stays high and your brand message is consistently delivered throughout the day.
What happens if it rains during our outdoor event in Johannesburg?
Johannesburg weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. For outdoor events, we recommend having a tent or gazebo backup. If the weather turns, we can quickly pivot to smaller canvas-based indoor workshops. Our backup artist policy also ensures that your event goes ahead even if your lead artist has an emergency—we never leave our clients hanging!
Can you incorporate our specific brand logo into the graffiti art?
Yes, we can! In fact, we love it. We can create custom stencils of your logo or specific brand icons. This allows attendees to spray your brand marks perfectly every time while still adding their own creative flair around it. It’s the perfect way to ensure brand consistency while giving your audience the freedom to be street art 'rebels' for a day.
How do you calculate the pricing for a brand activation?
We typically recommend a budget between R400 and R900 per person, but this varies based on your specific needs. Factors like the number of artists required, the volume of spray cans, and special equipment (like protective flooring or custom stencils) influence the final price. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so you know exactly where your marketing budget is going.
Why is graffiti more effective than traditional banner advertising?
Unlike traditional marketing where people just look at a screen, graffiti is tactile and immersive. It creates a 'core memory' associated with your brand. Plus, it’s highly 'Instagrammable.' People love sharing photos of themselves with a spray can in hand, meaning your brand activation travels far beyond the physical event space and into the digital feeds of thousands of potential customers.
