Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book our brand activation in Palmy?
Planning an activation in Palmerston North is easy! We recommend reaching out at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer months or during major local events like the Festival of Cultures. This gives us plenty of time to custom-match an artist to your brand, design bespoke stencils, and ensure all health and safety requirements for your specific Palmy venue are met. However, we have a deep bench of local talent, so feel free to check for last-minute availability!
Is the graffiti activation social media friendly?
Absolutely! We specialise in creating 'Gram-worthy' moments. Whether it’s a giant mural that evolves over the day or a 'have-a-go' station where visitors can spray their own bag, we design the activation to be highly visual and interactive. We use vibrant colours and bold designs that pop on social feeds, encouraging your audience to tag your brand and share their experience with their followers across NZ.
Is it safe and messy for participants?
Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear including masks, gloves, and aprons to keep your guests clean and safe. Our artists are pros at managing crowds and ensuring the spray stay where it’s supposed to—on the canvas! If you’re worried about indoor venues, we can use low-odour water-based paints or set up high-powered extraction fans to keep the air fresh.
Do participants need any artistic skill?
Not at all! Our professional street artists are also great teachers. We use a mix of freehand techniques and custom-made stencils so that even people who have never held a spray can before can create something that looks professional. It’s all about the experience and having a laugh while engaging with your brand in a unique, hands-on way. Everyone leaves feeling like a real street artist!
What kind of venues are suitable for a graffiti activation?
Versatility is our middle name. We can set up at large-scale events like the Central Districts Field Days, boutique pop-up shops in the Plaza, or even outdoor community spaces. As long as we have a flat surface and a bit of ventilation, we can make it work. We bring everything from the boards and drop-cloths to the paint and protective gear, making it a stress-free experience for your event team.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
We totally get that different events have different needs. We offer various formats: live mural painting (where an artist creates a masterpiece while people watch), interactive workshops (where guests get to paint), or 'branded swag' stations where we custom-graffiti items for people to take home. We’ll chat with you about your goals and tailor the setup to fit your brand’s personality perfectly.
