We were contracted by Hampton Roads Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine (HROSM) to promote wellness & physical activity through our Clean Graffiti services. We executed 10 spots that read “Keep Your Body in Motion” in the Newport News area of town. Newport News is a quaint area of Virginia with a ton of up and coming neighborhoods. We focused our reverse graffiti services around Port Warwick, City Center at Oyster Point, The Greenlands and Noland Trail.

“Clean Graffiti is new to the Hampton Roads community,” said April Weston, Director of Marketing & Public Relations for Hampton Roads Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine. “We have had positive feedback from people of all ages; teens and adults who think the concept and idea is great. People having been taking pictures and sharing through social media and we truly believe that this will continue to grow as more and more people come across the “HROSM” mark around our city.”

Using a hashtag (like #HROSM) is a great way to encourage people to post and engage on social media. As people are walking on the sidewalks (already on their phones) and notice a Clean Graffiti spot, they can post and tag the photo.

Weston continued, “Our goal in utilizing Clean Graffiti was twofold. We wanted to expand our brand recognition and capture people’s attention through using a new form of advertising; something unique and catchy. At the same time, we wanted to meet people on a where they were- running trails, shopping areas, or walking with their family with an encouraging message.”
