We live and work in Charlotte, NC, a city that’s long been known for it’s financial institutions; Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and BB&T dominate the skyline. But did you know that Charlotte is also home to one of the top ranked business schools in the country? That’s right, the Belk College of Business is making a name for themselves across the country and when we were given the opportunity to work with them, we jumped at the chance. In fact, we partnered with Belk College on two large-scale Clean Graffiti campaigns.
First a little more on Belk College.
The Belk College of Business at UNC Charlotte is doing some amazing things for their graduates. From master’s degrees and certificate programs, to doctoral programs, Belk College graduates are significant players in Charlotte’s business community. With more than 18,000 grads working in the Charlotte region, the college’s alumni make up one of the most connected networks in a city that Forbes ranked among the “Best Places for Business and Careers.”
Each year, Belk College graduates flood the ranks of the Fortune 500, and they see their master’s at work when they enjoy a 93% placement rate as a result of the networking and recruiting opportunities offered by the college. In addition, graduates of the college’s 5 master’s programs truly see their master’s degree at work in regards to salary—alumni report an average $20,000 salary increase in the months after graduation.
Now onto the Clean Graffiti campaigns.

Belk College highlights #YourMastersAtWork with Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway
We partnered with the Belk College of Business on two large-scale Clean Graffiti campaigns. The first run of reverse graffiti went down in the fall of 2016. These spots highlighted the Uptown Charlotte location (that unique building on 9th Street) and their impressive MBA Program. Twelve spots went down in the Uptown and South End areas, as well as surrounding neighborhoods like NoDa and Elizabeth.
Spring of 2017 brought about round two of the campaign with 24 Clean Graffiti spots highlighting the perks of a master’s degree. The “93% placement rating” and “$20,000 salary bump” were featured when we cleaned these messages into dirt. That’s #YourMastersAtWork. The spots can be found throughout the city of Charlotte.
To bring attention to the newest eco-friendly messages, Belk College is running a fun social media campaign. If you see one of their Clean Graffiti message on a sidewalk around town, post a photo of the spot and your shoes on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Make sure to use the hashtag #YourMastersAtWork and tag @UNCCBelkCollege for a chance to win a Belk College YETI Tumbler. The contest runs until April 5, 2017 and the best shoe shot wins.
So make sure to take a walk around the city and look for a Belk College Clean Graffiti spot. You just may be a winner!
