WILD POSTING and What Is It?
Wild Posting is primarily defined by most companies as the distribution of promotional advertising posters throughout cities.
It is sometimes known as wheatpaste posters, wheatpasting, sniping, and flyposting outdoor advertising by specific companies or industries.
Advertising posters are posted often placed outdoor on construction sites, storefronts, and street poles.
Smaller size posters can be posted inside inside cafes and shops on bulletin boards, plus on-campus and other noticeable indoor locations.
Street posters are a form of outdoor advertising utilized to promote events, product releases, movies, apps, concerts, and brand initiatives.
Smart companies leverage wild postings to maintain brand street cred and to drive consumer engagement.
Wild postings offer the most value to brands in cities with there is a high concentration of people walking around (e.g. Chicago, Boston, Portland, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington DC, etc.)
And, wild posting is an excellent form of reaching people in mid to small cities where around-the-city outdoor advertising opportunities aren't as prevalent (e.g., Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Hudson Valley, Nashville, Raleigh, etc.)
