Brand experiences and outdoor branding murals
We work across two distinct but complementary formats. The first is event-based live painting at product launches, festivals and corporate events that draws a crowd, creates genuine engagement and generates shareable content. Our New Balance brand activation in Sydney CBD is a strong example of this.
The second is outdoor brand advertising, large-scale painted murals on building exteriors and branded artwork in retail precincts and urban spaces. OOH branding murals are increasingly preferred over printed billboards for their visual permanence, authenticity and social media magnetism.
We work with marketing teams, brand managers and agencies across both formats and often the same project involves elements of each.

Common questions
Brand Activations FAQ
What is an OOH branding mural?
An OOH (out-of-home) branding mural is a large-scale painted brand advertisement on a building exterior or urban surface. These include building-side advertising murals, ghost sign style hand-lettered brand campaigns, and branded artwork in retail precincts and laneways. They’re increasingly preferred over printed billboards for their visual permanence, authenticity and social media appeal.
What's the difference between a brand activation and an OOH mural?
A brand activation is typically a live or temporary experience at an event — live painting, pop-up murals or experiential art designed to engage an audience in real time. An OOH branding mural is a painted advertisement on a building exterior or urban surface, designed to be seen by passers-by over time. Many campaigns incorporate both.
What's the difference between a brand activation and live art?
Live art refers specifically to live painting performance at an event. A brand activation is the broader campaign experience, which might include live art alongside branded pop-up murals, OOH installations, or artwork designed to convert into a permanent piece afterwards.
Do you travel for events and activations?
Yes. We deliver brand activations and OOH branding murals for events and campaigns across Australia. Travel and logistics are factored into your quote based on the location.
Is live painting safe for indoor or public events?
Yes. We plan setup carefully for indoor and public events, and can use low-odour or water-based paint options where required. Safety information and product documentation available on request.
How much does a brand activation or OOH mural cost?
Pricing depends on the format — activation duration, number of artists, wall size (for OOH murals), travel and whether artwork is temporary or permanent. We provide a tailored quote following a short consultation.
Can the artwork become a permanent mural afterwards?
Yes. Activation artwork can be adapted into a permanent OOH mural or feature wall for your space. Many clients use an activation as the proof-of-concept before committing to a permanent installation.
Do you provide content for social media?
Yes. Live painting and OOH murals both generate strong visual content naturally, and we can help capture photo and video footage for social channels and campaign reporting.
