BIG MODERN brand sidewalk decal in bold yellow and magenta on urban concrete pavement β€” American Guerrilla Marketing street campaign

American Guerrilla Marketing is building its national installer network and is looking for experienced decal installers in markets across the United States. If you have hands-on experience with vinyl and specialty decal installation on outdoor surfaces and want to work with major brand campaigns in your market, we want to hear from you.

Our team executes sidewalk stencil, floor graphic, and surface decal campaigns as part of our broader outdoor advertising services across 50+ U.S. markets from our base at Industry City, Brooklyn, NY. Installation quality is the most visible measure of campaign execution quality, and we build our installer relationships with the same care we apply to every other part of the campaign process.

What Decal Installer Work Involves at AGM

Decal installer work at American Guerrilla Marketing covers a range of surface and material types depending on the specific campaign. The common thread across all installation work is the need for precise technique, proper surface preparation, and clean execution that delivers a finished installation that looks professional in the documentation photos that go to our clients.

Floor Graphic and Sidewalk Decal Installation

Floor graphic and sidewalk decal installation is one of the most active categories in our field installation work. Applications include retail floor graphics inside commercial spaces, outdoor sidewalk decals on private commercial pavement, event floor graphics at convention centers and special event venues, and directional and wayfinding decal systems in high-traffic pedestrian environments. This category requires specific knowledge of anti-slip laminate application and surface preparation for outdoor concrete and asphalt surfaces.

Window Decal and Building Surface Installation

Window decal installation for retail storefronts, office buildings, and transit-adjacent building facades requires clean surface preparation, precise alignment, and air bubble elimination technique that is more demanding than basic surface applications. Installers with experience in large-format window graphics and perforated window vinyl are particularly valuable for campaigns involving transit-adjacent and storefront applications.

Vehicle Decal and Wrap Applications

Vehicle decal and partial wrap applications for branded vehicle campaigns are a specialized installation category that requires specific vehicle surface preparation knowledge, vinyl material handling experience for curved and complex vehicle surfaces, and the ability to manage the multi-step application process for full and partial vehicle wrap installations.

What We Look for in Decal Installers

Demonstrated hands-on experience with vinyl and paper decal installation is the primary qualification we look for in installer candidates. Portfolio documentation of previous installation work, even phone photos of completed projects, is helpful for evaluating application technique and finish quality. We also look for reliability, punctuality for scheduled installation windows, comfort with non-standard working hours including nights and early mornings, and the ability to work independently on single-person installation assignments without direct supervision.

How to Apply

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Decal Installer – [Your Market].” Include your market, your relevant installation experience and the types of surfaces and materials you have worked with, and any notable brands or agencies you have installed for. We maintain an installer database and contact candidates when appropriate projects become available in their markets.

American Guerrilla Marketing is growing across 50+ U.S. markets. We are looking for experienced installers, operators, and field crew leads who want consistent campaign work with major brands.
