Okay Carolina Panthers fans… it’s time to do your dance! We are honored to partner with our friends at OrthoCarolina & the Carolina Panthers for a Touchdown Dance Contest. We have put six Clean Graffiti Dance Zones in Uptown Charlotte in hopes that you will see a spot, do a little dance, have some fun and be entered to win 4 home game tickets!
A little about Clean Graffiti – it’s advertising made with water. That’s right, Clean Graffiti is made by pressure washing a stencil onto the sidewalk. We use a specialized stencil to create the artwork and our team then maps out the advertising campaign to capture the most benefit for the client. From company logos to community safety messages to fun social contests, Clean Graffiti is a great way to target your audience in an unexpected and environmentally friendly way!
It’s easy to enter. Follow these steps:
1. Find a Touchdown Dance Zone made with Clean Graffiti (aka reverse graffiti) in various locations on the sidewalks near Bank of America Stadium.
2. Do your favorite touchdown dance on camera and post it to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
3. Use the hashtag #TDContest and tag @OrthoCarolina in your post.
4. Post before the contest ends on Sept 19, 2021 to be entered to win four tickets to a home Panthers game this season. Winners will be notified via the channel they posted on by Sept. 24.
Here’s where you can find all of the Clean Graffiti locations for the #TDContest.

Read the official rules & regulations here.
We love working with the team at OrthoCarolina. Yes, they are incredibly talented surgeons and leaders in Orthopedic Medicine, but we also know them as true partners. Whether we are pitching them a far-out idea or they bring us into the conversation because they know we are “out-of-the-box,” the OC team is always ready to push the line, ready to elevate their marketing voice and show other companies how to create brand recognition and loyalty. We value their trust in us, their community leadership efforts and overall ability to have fun with their marketing campaigns. Like this Touchdown Dance Contest with an NFL team – fun, different and eco-friendly!
Now go find a spot and do your best #TDContest dance!!

Our latest reverse graffiti campaign for iHeartMedia in collaboration with Greenworks went down around the South End neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. The goal is to help spread the word about Earth Day – April 22, 2020.
Since most people are walking their neighborhoods right now due to shelter-in-place orders across the county, it was a good time to put down a nice reminder on the sidewalk. Keep your eye out for the “Make the world a better place” Clean Graffiti and you could win $500 to Lowe’s Home Improvement.

This eco-friendly Clean Graffiti message was created using only water and a stencil.

Find this image, post to your Instagram and be entered to win a $500 Lowes Gift Card. Powered by 106.5 The End & Greenworks

Who is one of the biggest rock bands of all time? The Rolling Stones definitely make the top of the list, and we just had the opportunity to do Clean Graffiti for them in Charlotte, NC. (Yeah.. the freaking Rolling Stones!)
We were contacted by the team at the Carolina Panthers to pull off a quick reverse graffiti campaign to help promote the announcement of a huge concert at Bank of America stadium. The goal, along with their other marketing tactics, was to tease the fact that the Rolling Stones were going back on tour. In several places around the city, including Clean Graffiti on the sidewalk, the famous Stones “mouth” appeared with phrases that hinted at a concert announcement. These “tease and reveals” also happened across the country where Mick Jagger and the Stones will soon play to sold out arenas.
This Clean Graffiti message was simple, on brand, and the PERFECT teaser to get the masses curious about what the Rolling Stones might be up to. We put our pressure washed images across popular walking areas including Uptown, South End, NoDa and Plaza Midwood. It has been fun to see passersby post the images to their Instagram stories and get excited for the concert.

This was such a beautiful use of our eco-friendly medium. Since the Rolling Stones are so iconic and everyone associates the “mouth” with this band, the stencil could be kept clean and simple. No words, no call to action – just a teaser that also acts as brand awareness. And to utilize the sidewalks where potential concert-goers are walking everyday is the perfect new way to reach their audience.
The concert is scheduled for July 1, 2020 at Bank of America Stadium. Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday, Feb. 14. More information can be found at rollingstones.com.
At #thesavageway, we are proud to work with ALL of our clients. They see the value in doing something different and are not afraid to push the line when it comes to their marketing. However, this campaign in particular is pretty high up on the list of favorite campaigns. The Rolling Stones, one of the biggest rock bands to ever grace this earth, used Clean Graffiti to promote their concert. (mind blown!). It is a great reminder to us that anything is possible and to keep reaching for the moon when it comes to our business.

Serious job love right here. #thesavageway

We recently returned from a four-city Clean Graffiti tour on behalf of Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. We were busy putting down our eco-friendly outdoor advertising medium in Baltimore, MD, Memphis, TN, Greensboro, NC and Charlotte, NC.

Coca-Cola Consolidated used Clean Graffiti to spread brand awareness.
In these four cities we helped with brand awareness surrounding the Diet Coke brand. The message went down in popular neighborhoods, on highly traffic foot paths, near grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. Basically anywhere you can purchase a Coke product.

Memphis, TN saw its first Clean Graffiti by #thesavageway. We loved helping to spread some brand awareness for Diet Coke.

Now that’s some fun product placement! Clean Graffiti found in Memphis, TN.

Coca-Cola chose to use some of their marketing dollars in a green and sustainable way – and we’re definitely here for that! Clean Graffiti is created using a specialized stencil and a pressure washer. That’s it….. it’s just water. We love when huge corporations see the value in our outdoor advertising medium. Not only does it help elevate the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility, but it also shows innovation and creativity to use dirt as an asset.
We are excited to continue to work with brands that understand that there are different media options out there. Our Clean Graffiti lets you directly target where your audience is walking every single day – the sidewalk. It is a subtle, unexpected message that can bring a smile to your customers face.
