hand-painted advertising

PALM creates and paints unique painted advertisements, for a stronger commitment.

The comeback of hand-painted advertising

The use of artistic painting for brand activation draws inspiration from the painted advertisements of yesteryear, while adapting them to modern expectations. This approach enables brands to capture attention in a unique way, with bold colors and contemporary designs that resonate with today's audience.

A response to the saturation of our environment by traditional advertising

In an urban environment saturated by traditional advertising - posters, screens and ubiquitous digital messages - artistic frescoes provide a striking experience. Unlike fast, continuous advertising, these frescoes captivate the viewer with a slower, more considered approach, transforming public space into a kind of artistic performance. This longer-lasting, more engaging visual moment lends itself perfectly to sharing on social networks, creating a new form of advertising that resonates deeply with new communities.

hand-painted advertising lets you explore new media

This strategy also makes it possible to explore original media. In addition to traditional advertising spaces, frescoes can be created on playgrounds, shop windows or other unexpected locations, offering a unique and immersive visual impact.

hand-painted advertising in black light

What's more, the use of blacklight paint creates two levels of reading: a first vision during the day and another, transformed, at night. This play of visual contrasts adds a dynamic dimension to the work.

An interactive, immersive experience with the help of augmented reality

Finally, the integration of digital applications brings the murals to life using smartphones. Thanks to augmented reality, viewers can interact with the artwork, discover animations or additional information, reinforcing the brand experience in an innovative and immersive way.

By combining tradition and innovation, painted advertising murals reinforce brand image, making it memorable and engaging, while offering a distinctive and authentic presence in public space.
