NO PERMITS,
NO PERMANENT MARKS
WASH-AWAY MELBOURNE TEAM
Wash-Away Melbourne
The Wash-Away Melbourne team helps businesses run low-risk, water-soluble stencil campaigns across the city — from single-location trials to full rollouts.
WHY PERMANENCE IS THE REAL RISK
Traditional street advertising is risky mainly because it’s permanent. A printed banner needs to be taken down. A painted mark needs to be removed, often at cost, and sometimes after a complaint or fine. The liability doesn’t end when the campaign does — it starts a second phase of clean-up and risk.
WHAT “LOW RISK” LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
No removal costs — nothing to scrub, strip, or pressure-wash away afterwards. No long-term booking — you’re not locked into a lease on ad space for months at a time. No specialist equipment or crew — application only needs water and the instructions included in your kit. A natural end point — the campaign winds down on its own instead of needing an active decision to remove it.
DOING IT RESPONSIBLY
Low risk doesn’t mean no responsibility. We’d always recommend checking with your local council or property owner before placing a design in a new public location — particularly for larger or repeat campaigns — so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
SINGLE-LOCATION TRIALS
Test the format in one high-footfall spot before committing to more. A single placement gives you a real read on visibility and response with almost no upfront risk.
SHORT PROMOTIONAL WINDOWS
Time a campaign around a launch, event, or seasonal push. The marks fade naturally within days, so the messaging disappears right as the promotion ends.

MULTI-SITE ROLLOUTS
Scale a proven design across several streets or suburbs. We help you plan placements and permissions so each location works without added clean-up liability.
EVENT & POP-UP ACTIVATIONS
Drive people toward a venue, stall, or pop-up with directional street marks. Temporary by design, they guide foot traffic for the life of the event and no longer.

Street Marketing 101
That's the appeal of street marketing a broad category of out-of-home advertising that meets people where they already are, on foot, at street level, in the middle of their day. Unlike traditional billboards or print ads, street marketing works because it's unexpected. It doesn't ask for attention; it earns it.
Is Street Marketing Right for Your Brand?
Street marketing isn't the right fit for every campaign. It works best when a business needs sharp, local, short-term visibility — not when it needs broad, long-running brand awareness. Here's a quick way to tell if it's worth adding to your plan.
