Frequently asked questions
How do you manage safety and mess during a brand activation?
The safety of your guests and the protection of the venue are our top priorities. We use specialized low-odour spray paint where possible and always set up professional-grade floor and wall protection to keep the area spotless. Our Queenstown team is highly experienced in managing live events, ensuring that the creative process is exciting for the audience while remaining completely safe and contained within the designated activation zone.✨
Can our guests actually participate in the graffiti process?
Absolutely! We specialize in 'live' art where our pro artists create a masterpiece in real-time, or interactive sessions where your guests can pick up a can and add their own flair. In Queenstown's competitive tourism market, giving people a hands-on experience is a brilliant way to make your brand stick in their minds long after the event has finished. It’s all about engagement!🎨
How far in advance do we need to book for a Queenstown event?
We recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy winter ski season or summer festival peak in Otago. However, we have a deep bench of backup artists and a flexible team, so if you have a last-minute activation in Christchurch or Queenstown, get in touch! We always do our absolute best to accommodate tight deadlines and fast-moving marketing schedules.🏃♂️
Do we need to provide the location or do you have a studio?
We are fully mobile! Whether you are hosting a product launch at a Lake Hayes winery, a pop-up in the Queenstown CBD, or a corporate retreat at a mountain lodge, we bring the entire setup to you. We provide the boards, the paint, the safety gear, and the talent. All we need from you is a designated space and a vibe—we handle the rest.🏔️
How long does a typical graffiti brand activation last?
A standard brand activation usually runs between 2 and 4 hours, but we can customize this to fit your schedule. For larger multi-day festivals or trade shows, we can provide full-day coverage with rotating artists. We work around your event's 'run sheet' to ensure the maximum impact during your peak visitor times, ensuring your brand gets the eyes it deserves.⏱️
What kind of ROI can we expect from a street art activation?
Success is measured by engagement! Our activations are designed to be 'Instagrammable' magnets. We see high rates of social media sharing, longer dwell times at booths, and increased brand recall. Because the final artwork can often be kept by the brand or auctioned for charity, the legacy of the activation continues long after the spray paint has dried. It's a high-impact marketing investment.📈
