Eco-Friendly Sidewalk Message Used for Trade Show Marketing
We love working with companies that get it. Companies that see Clean Graffiti as an amazing eco-friendly alternative to other outdoor media options. Companies that like to take risks. Push the line. Be Innovative. Combat Medical approached us for a reverse graffiti campaign for an upcoming conference in Charlotte, NC, and we knew that this was one of those companies.
The team at Combat Medical was excited to welcome the attendees of the Special Operations Medical Association Scientific Assembly (SOMSA) to the Queen City. We used a stencil, water and dirty concrete to create this fun welcome message courtesy of Combat Medical. Clean Graffiti is a great marketing tool for trade shows and conferences. Like Combat Medical, you are able to highly target your audience in a specific place and in an unexpected way.

Clean Graffiti for Combat Medical in Charlotte, NC.

These temporary spots were used to call attention to a brand at an industry conference. #thesavageway
Here are a few links to check out: Find out more about the work of Combat Medical and find out more about SOMSA. This is the second time we’ve used Clean Graffiti to target audiences around a major industry-specific conference (check out our first conference in New Orleans, LA).
Clean Graffiti is a great, temporary way to speak to your target audience. If you are looking to capture your audience at a trade show, highlight a new store opening, or get creative with a unique marketing message, then Clean Graffiti is a great choice.

Clean Graffiti for the Carolina Panthers promoting Greg Olsen for Walter Payton Man of the Year. #thesavageway
The Carolina Panthers marketing team is always pushing the creative line with their social media and advertising campaigns. So when they approached us about a second round of Clean Graffiti, we knew that the campaign had to be something eye-catching and totally different than anything that we’ve done thus far. (Their first campaign was pretty awesome and made a big social media splash in the sports world.) And their team did not disappoint. We were challenged with putting Greg Olsen’s face on the ground in Clean Graffiti. (Seriously!)
This was no small task and we tested our template quite a bit before we were happy with the results. But man were we proud of the creative design that we were able to achieve with merely water and dirt. It was pretty awesome to see Panthers QB Cam Newton and Coach Ron Rivera wear a t-shirt that was a replica of the reverse graffiti that we put around Charlotte, NC.

Greg Olsen is a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. #thesavageway
The campaign surrounded the promotion of Greg Olsen as the Walter Payton Man of the Year Finalist. Olsen does some amazing work in the Charlotte community (which you can read about here). We were honored to help get the word out in a new and creative way. Olsen made it to the top three finalists and the winner will be announced during NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time awards special to air nationally on Feb. 3, the eve of Super Bowl LII.

Clean Graffiti for NoDa Yoga in Charlotte, NC. #thesavageway
NoDa Yoga is one of those spaces that immediately brings you a sense of peace and calmness. Not only is it a yoga studio based in the historic arts district of NoDa in Charlotte, NC, but it is a safe and beautiful place to get lost in yourself and your yoga practice.
When NoDa Yoga approached us about doing some Clean Graffiti, we knew that we needed to get out a message that truly represented this studio. We attended some classes and soon realized that the quote that lives over their front desk would make the perfect Clean Graffiti message. “Get out of your head, and into your heart.” Simple. Meaningful.
After some fun design work, we came up with this lotus flower to accompany the quote, which is an homage to the two murals in their main space at 3201 N Davidson St (upstairs). These Clean Graffiti spots went down around the NoDa, Plaza Midwood, Villa Heights areas of Charlotte, NC.
We absolutely love how they turned out. And people are loving them too. Here are a sample of the Instagram posts that we’ve been tagged in.

NoDa Yoga utilized our eco-friendly sidewalk messaging in the perfect way. The reverse graffiti message / image is a core value that reverberates across the studio, every single teacher and NoDa Yoga’s online message. By tapping into this side of the studio (instead of a sales messaged), people were able to relate and appreciate the Clean Graffiti spots. They are inspiring and authentic to their brand.

Custom Moss Art Charlotte Crown by #thesavageway.
The Charlotte Crown has never looked so good! We adore this Custom Moss Art piece that we created for a client in their 4th Ward home in Charlotte, NC. This piece is almost 3′ wide and fits perfectly in the foyer entrance of this neighborhood high rise.
The beauty of an original Moss Art piece by #thesavageway is that you get all of the beauty and greenery of a living wall / plant, but without any of the maintenance. That’s right. We use preserved moss so there is no need to water or leave the art near sunlight. We have perfectly crafted the artwork to maintain its color and texture for years to come.
If you are interested in learning more about this Crown Moss Art or something that you are dreaming up in your head, please shoot us an email ([email protected])! We love to be creative with clients and find a way to make your office lobby, conference room, or home foyer look way cooler (and greener!).

Love the detail of this custom artwork for a client. #thesavageweay

It’s all in the details with Moss Art by #thesavageway.

Moss Art is better than a living wall because there is no maintenance or watering required. Just enjoy. #thesavageway

Custom Moss Art for Your Pie, the newest build-your-own-pizza shop in Charlotte, NC
It’s tough to get better than pizza, love and hoppiness (beer). These three things bring so much joy to the world. So when we had the chance to partner with Your Pie Charlotte on some Moss Art, we knew we had to make it fun.
Corri Smith, Owner of Black Wednesday Social Co., handled the marketing and public relations for Your Pie and she brought us in to help with the creation of this custom art. This piece of Moss Art is part of a larger installation on the back wall of the new make-your-own-pizza shop in Historic South End (2400 South Blvd.). Our preserved moss pops off the reclaimed wood wall and pairs nicely with the painted and neon sign.
It’s refreshing to see brands be creative and use our medium as an element in a larger design. We had fun with some local Charlotte friends at the grand opening a few weeks ago.
