Using Guerilla Fly Posting Ads to Augment Brand Interest and Awareness
While fly posting in its traditional form is not permitted in a number of areas, guerilla-inspired marketing can prove incredibly effective. Retro-themed ads, posters, billboards, or larger panels with designs that mimic old-school fly-posting posters can be used to capture interest from younger demographics.
In urban environments and competitive cityscapes, brands often find that standing out is tough or that local audiences simply switch off when they are exposed to numerous similar ads or repetitive formatting that becomes part of the background.
Novel guerilla advertising makes a fantastic impact, transforming an everyday route, billboard, pathway, or pavement into a new experience. High-end brands in the luxe fashion and beauty worlds are increasingly turning to fly posting to gain better impressions and to create a buzz and sense of fresh excitement via their advertising campaigns.
Why Use Fly Posting Advertising?
Fly-post style advertising is cost-effective and memorable, using an added creative flair to draw attention and ensure that outdoor advertising contributes to the image, identity and style of your brand, event, product or service you want to promote.
Depending on the exact structure and location of fly posting advertising, you might opt for localised and highly relevant ads within urban areas, such as poster-themed displays at eye level combined with street advertising that pedestrians, shoppers, students and public transport users will see repeated times per day during their usual routines.
Another great advantage, aside from breaking from convention and adding a youthful flourish to your out-of-home advertising, is that fly posting and guerilla marketing can be adapted to almost any scale, from smaller-scope campaigns in specific districts or neighbourhoods to city-wide takeovers.
It is always essential to acknowledge that some forms of traditional fly posting are not permitted.
However, when used correctly and as a direction or vision for your campaign, immersive fly posting-style graphics and billboards can dominate spaces with ease and ensure you make a marked impact—whether you're using focused and compact display formats or vast 96-sheet billboards emblazoned with fly posting-style layovers.

Fly Posting Advertising: Key Formats

![Billboard-Based Fly Posting]()
Billboard-Based Fly Posting
Static billboards are often positioned in prominent locations, arterial routes, city centres, and junctions, providing access to diverse and captive audiences, from motorists and public transport users to visitors, passengers, and pedestrians.
Large-format printed static billboards with fly posting-style design formats are memorable, attention-grabbing and differentiated from standardised billboards, with strategic mapping to ensure you select impactful locations and sites in the heart of urban places.

Interactive and Experiential Fly Post Advertising
Eye-level outdoor advertising is directed immediately at passersby. It can be an excellent way to bridge the gap between conventional campaigns and interactive or digital screens, prompting engagement and responsiveness from viewers in your target areas.
Street ads and billboards on bus stops, shelters and within stations can, for instance, feature AR features, QR codes offering discounts or other incentives, and even retro tear-off elements that feel equal parts nostalgic and authentic.

Kiosk Flyposting
Kiosks and street-level promotional display casings can provide both static campaign spaces and digital screens, using street furniture like phone boxes, bus shelters and retail kiosks that can be incredibly impactful when put to the right use.
Digital ads can be activated and adapted according to data points like the weather to ensure the displayed messaging is contextual and relevant. Illuminated displays are visible 24 hours a day and form part of the normal metropolitan landscape around shopping areas, commercial districts, and high streets.

Mural-Style Fly Posting Advertising
Wall murals and billboards designed to mimic the artistic and creative impression a mural gives can be transformative. They are seen as assets that upscale the aesthetic appearance of community buildings, blank walls, and empty billboard placements while drawing the eye and encouraging responses.
Using fly posting as a theme can inspire branded artwork that is emotive, funny, engaging, or thought-provoking. Modern and weather-proof materials like vinyl can ensure each campaign element is highly visible, which presents a prime photography opportunity and is ideal for social sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Flyposting in its original form isn’t permitted in many countries and is considered either a type of vandalism or a criminal damage offence in the UK, much of Europe, and the US.
That is because traditional flyposting involved pasting posters without consent on walls, phone boxes or storefronts, or taping posters and leaflets to street lamps and construction barriers – a prevalent problem in larger cities where posters are often swiftly removed and can even potentially be associated with fines.
However, professional street posters and campaigns inspired by the aesthetic and styling of flyposting are completely legal and use the appeal and nostalgic design of urban posters to draw attention and maximise campaign visibility.
