It’s Mental Health Awareness Month and we are honored to be a part of the RHA Health Services “Get My Me Back’ campaign. We used the power of non-traditional marketing, aka Clean Graffiti, to bring attention to something that so many people need – mental health services.
“Get My Me Back” recognizes what makes each person unique and empowers them to rediscover the parts of their lives that matter most to them. Many people who are struggling deeply feel the loss of simple, everyday parts of life — things like their jobs, hobbies, events, or spending time with their loved ones. The campaign reminds people that it’s possible to reconnect with who they are, that treatment options are available and accessible, and that they can get back to a life that feels like theirs.

We created a multi-city Clean Graffiti campaign to spread awareness for the behavioral health services that RHA offers. We went to Asheville, NC, Hendersonville, NC and Lenoir, NC with our eco-friendly advertising. The campaign went down along popular walking paths in these cities and where people typically congregate. With 35 spots spread across these three cities, the reach was definitely meaningful.
We had the pleasure of working with Miller Integrated Marketing on behalf of RHA Health Services. Working with an agency always makes the campaign process so seamless. We are able to work together to bring the client’s vision to life. The creative for the Clean Graffiti campaign is simple yet incredibly impactful and right on brand with the other marketing materials. The message of “Get My Me Back” stands alone as a message for the masses with a simple URL to learn more information.
Mental health awareness should be happening well beyond this one month of May. That’s why organizations like RHA Health Services are so important. The support and guidance that they offer is top tier. And we love how the simple reminder to “Get My Me Back” speaks volumes. When you’re facing mental health or substance use issues, more than just the big things slip away — you lose the everyday moments that make you feel like you. We love what RHA is doing for the community. Don’t be afraid to seek help.
In North Carolina, RHA is a statewide provider offering behavioral health services to adults & children.
Services vary by location. Please call 800.848.0180 or visit our locations page to find contact information for a specific location.

FAQs
Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions we get to better explain the Faux Greenery option with The Savage Way.
Can Faux Greenery be Used Indoor and Outdoor?
Yes! Faux Greenery is a great green wall option for both indoor or outdoor spaces. It can withstand the elements if you want biophilic design outside. It is also a great choice when you have a ton of natural sunlight in your space and you’re worried about fading. Our UV protected product will thrive in these settings.
Is Faux Greenery just for walls?

How Does a Project Come to Life?
– Consultation Call (let’s talk)
– Estimate Process (1-3 business days depending on complexity of request)
– Signed Contract (50% deposit due upon signing, 4-10 weeks turnaround time depending on complexity.)
– Fabrication & Production (plant magic in process)
– Installation or Shipping (options for install available, nationwide shipping)
Will the Faux Greenery look exactly like the photos I see online?
Faux Foliage is an artistically made product and the exact color, shape, texture and size of the elements used to create the final piece of art may contain variations. Please note that any digital renderings provided may vary from products on location.
What is the Installation Process?
If included in the contract, our experienced team is available to fully install the faux foliage on-site. We work hand-in-hand with our client to ensure we are following any building requirements. Each piece is slightly different, but in general the metal grid is affixed to the wall with simple screws. If we are shipping the end product, we will provide detailed instructions.
How do I maintain a Faux Greenery Wall?
You should not have to do much. If pollen or dust should accumulate when the art is installed outside, lightly spraying with a hose or leaf blowing the area will help remove build up. Refrain from using harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions containing bleach, as they can damage the color and texture of the artificial plants.
If you need to remove dirt or stains from the art when installed inside, you can use a mild soap on a cloth with warm water.
Can I get a Custom Designed Faux Greenery Wall?
Yes! We work with a base that helps create the most aesthetically pleasing look and can then add your custom touch on top of that (think adding colors, adding different textures and varieties of plants) for an additional fee.
Can you Ship Anywhere in the US?
Yes! We have shipped work all over the US and cost just depends on the specifications of the project and location.
So whether you are looking for a traditional preserved Moss Art wall or branded logo, or you need to go the plastic route due to budget and/or natural elements, The Savage Way will continue to be your one-stop shop for all things custom when it comes to “plant” walls. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

Patagonia is far beyond just an accomplished outdoor retailer. They are the kind of company that inspires us to our core. They care deeply about the environment and their impact on Mother Nature. As a certified B Corp since 2012, Patagonia cemented its commitment to environmental and socially responsible practices – and its found in everything they do.
Patagonia Uses Eco-Friendly Advertising
When we got the call to create multiple Clean Graffiti campaigns for Patagonia, we were elated to extend their environmentally-friendly practices to the outdoor advertising space. Clean Graffiti is created by using dirt on a sidewalk and high pressure water. We make a contrast in the dirt and leave a “clean message on a dirty sidewalk.” There are no paint, chemicals or bleach used. It’s just cleaning. So for a company that cares so deeply about protecting the environment, Clean Graffiti is an excellent choice for an OOH option. “The environmental impact (or lack thereof) of Clean Graffiti was definitely a key factor in determining what kind of local marketing we were interested in using,” said Andrew Farison, Retail Events Marketing Specialist for Patagonia.
“Patagonia’s experience using Clean Graffiti has been fantastic, leaning into a creative and eco-friendly way to help promote store locations and drive awareness in new markets in particular has proven to be a very efficient and cost-effective local marketing strategy,” continued Farison.
In recent years, we were able to hit the markets of:
– Charlotte, NC for the South End store – twice
– Baltimore, MD for the Fells Point store – twice
– Atlanta, GA for the ATL Beltline store
– Nashville, TN for the 601 Overton St store
The spots went down in high-foot traffic areas near the stores. We tried to find the popular walking paths where there was the most accumulated dirt on the sidewalks. We love how we were able to translate the Patagonia branding into stencil format – whether it was their traditional logo or a more artistic interpretation of the brand.
Making an Impact
The spots speak for themselves! Gorgeous, eye-catching and right where potential customers are walking – the sidewalk. It’s great how just using nature can make an incredible visual impact.
We love this quote from their website, “At Patagonia, we appreciate that all life on earth is under threat of extinction. We’re using the resources we have – our business, our investments, our voice and our imaginations – to do something about it.” Now THAT is what it means to stand on business. Honored to continue working with such a forward-thinking brand / company.

We are honored to continue work with Mecklenburg County, North Carolina on this important Clean Graffiti campaign for the 988 Hotline for Suicide Prevention & Crisis Line. What a great way to remind people throughout the city that there is hope out there.
By simply calling or texting “988,” anyone can get help with social or family situations, depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, alcohol or drug use. You can also call if you just need someone to talk to. Mecklenburg County has resources available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s free, private, one-on-one help.
We were able to sprinkle these health & community messages throughout the county. It is so important that everyone knows that this resource is available regardless or your location or economic status.
Clean Graffiti is an amazing advertising vehicle to spread social and community messages like this. Seeing a message on the sidewalk is unexpected and may very well be the message that someone needed! We absolutely love seeing this eco-friendly medium being used to spread positivity and hope to a vulnerable population. Community matters, especially in times of mental crisis.
988 Hotline is a free suicide & crisis lifeline available 24/7. Simply call or text to chat with someone when you are struggling. There is never any judgement, just a listening ear and a person to give your resources. Check out more information here.
As the sidewalk message in Clean Graffiti reads, “It’s NEVER too late.” Check on your people, say “I love you,” and show up for others. And utilize 988 whenever needed.

The Savage Way has been creating custom Moss Art for almost a decade now. We create everything from 70′ long moss walls in a corporate lobby to a small moss logo in a coffee shop. No matter the size, the fusion of art and nature is something that fuels us as artists. There is something magical about the beautiful dance of color, texture, and use of nature to enhance a space. This “thing” actually has an industry term called Biophilic Design.
By definition, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity. Check out this article in House Beautiful to read more on Biophilic Design.
We have the pleasure of installing these calming elements into tons of workspaces in North Carolina and beyond. Below are some examples of green preserved plant walls in action. Take note of how seeing the lush greenery makes you feel when even looking at a photo… now imagine opening your computer and getting work done while next to a natural element like moss. #Dreamy.
Interested in your own nature-loving oasis without all of the maintenance? Whether you’re looking to change the vibe in your office or your home, The Savage Way is ready to help! Email [email protected] to chat.
