Breaking into Virginia has always been a goal and a vision of #thesavageway expansion. We are honored that our first client in this new territory was Hampton Roads Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine located in Newport News.

Clean Graffiti in Newport News, VA by #thesavageway.
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.”

We are very honored to be a part of the 2016 Dilworth Home Tour with our driveway art.

Thanks to our driveway artist, Robin Tonelli, for setting up this partnership with the awesome folks at First Christian Church (1200 East Boulevard). The church is in the heart of the Dilworth Home Tour and the driveway art that we created will be seen by hundreds of people as they walk the 44th Annual route.

Stop by First Christian Church on the Dilworth Home Tour 2016 to see some driveway art by #thesavageway.

Before & After shot of our driveway art at First Christian Church on East Blvd, Charlotte, NC. #thesavageway
The tour takes place this weekend, Friday (9/16), from 6-9pm and Saturday (9/17), from 10am-5pm. You can still buy tickets here (show your receipt at any of the Tour homes to pick up these tickets). You can also purchase tickets at Paper Skyscraper, Dilworth Drugs, Park Road Books, and Ultra Running Company.
The homes on tour are: 2001 Dilworth Road West, 1918 Lennox, 1114 Linganore, 2402 Cumberland, 504 McDonald, 1715 Euclid, 1238 Belgrave, and the Dilworth Community Garden at 1300 Ordermore Ave.
Each year, the non-profit Dilworth Community Association (“DCA”) stages Charlotte’s oldest home tour with proceeds benefiting DCA efforts such as the fall Dilworth Jubilee, Conquer the Cankerworm tree banding, and contributions to groups such as Historic Charlotte. 20% of Home Tour proceeds support the DCA’s giving arm called Dilworth Cares. Dilworth Cares designates a local charity each year to receive funds from several neighborhood functions throughout the year.
The 2016 Dilworth Cares recipient is Dilworth Soup Kitchen (located in the same space as First Christian Church) which is where our driveway art is displayed.

There are times when your real-life and work-life magically align. For #thesavageway, that magic moment was when we were contracted to do some Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market.

Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market in Matthews, NC. #thesavageway
For this campaign, we focused on the Galleria / Matthews store location (1816 Galleria Blvd). We created an intricate stencil template to create the tree and promote the locally grown, locally owned premise. In fact, we based our design off of the print ad below (on the left) that is seen across Healthy Home Market’s promotion efforts. As you can see, we were able to adapt their message to the Clean Graffiti medium in an exceptional way.

The creative process can be very intricate for Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway

Recently, we completed a Clean Graffiti campaign for the opening of a new restaurant in Charlotte, NC – Babalu Tapas & Tacos.

We were able to incorporate the Babalu brand marketing initiatives seamlessly into a Clean Graffiti campaign. We used the tagline “Yours. Mine. Ours. Food Worth Sharing” and “The New Guac on the Block.” The spots went down around the Dilworth neighborhood area of Charlotte.
