Guerrilla Projection Advertising
Transform Massachusetts Nights with Guerrilla Projections
American Guerrilla Marketing turns ordinary nights into brand moments people remember. As the leading guerrilla marketing staffing and activation agency in the United States, our teams design, permit, deploy, and track projection campaigns from coast to coast. In Massachusetts, we run full-service Guerrilla Projections that cover every detail: location scouting, site analysis, creative specs, high-lumen projectors, seasoned operators, permitting support when required, and transparent reporting. Retail marketers, political strategists, and convention organizers trust AGM to dominate after dark with bold, high-impact visuals that move people to action.
We keep it turnkey. You bring the goal, we identify the walls that matter and light them up with creative engineered to perform in real-world conditions. The work earns attention in the street and spreads quickly online, especially across Boston’s nightlife and event corridors. That combination is the win.

Why Guerrilla Projections Work in Boston
Boston packs culture, sports, and convention energy into a tight grid. That density gives projection media an unusual multiplier. Think Fenway game nights on Lansdowne, Seaport conference exits, Hynes crowd surges after keynotes, and late-evening foot traffic around Back Bay and the Theater District. When your message appears live on a building where people gather, phones come out, group chats ignite, and a local moment becomes a wider story.
Why it outperforms static outdoor:
High recall. Projection campaigns average roughly 65 percent recall after seven days, compared to roughly 28 percent for standard static OOH. Surprise plus motion makes memory stick.
Viral potential. Nightlife corridors, stadium crowds, and downtown gatherings generate 3 to 5 times more social posts than a static board in the same neighborhood.
Cost efficiency. Expect 40 to 60 percent lower CPM than premium digital boards while producing stronger engagement.
Action and context. Because projections are live and site-specific, CTAs feel urgent. QR scans, hashtags, countdowns, and “tonight only” offers convert at higher rates when people sense the clock.

Where to Run Guerrilla Projections in Massachusetts
The state offers an outstanding mix of sports, colleges, convention centers, and walkable downtowns. Our scouts prioritize sightlines, nightlife overlap, and event calendars to catch the right crowd at the right hour.
Boston
Example location: Prudential Center, 800 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02199 Why: Back Bay’s retail spine meets commuter flows and late dining, with long views from multiple approaches. Example activation: A countdown launch or animated takeover during a major conference week at Hynes, synced with a QR code driving to a VIP waitlist.
Example location: Fenway Park corridor, 4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215 Why: Game nights, concerts, and Lansdowne Street nightlife create dense pedestrian clusters. Example activation: Night-of-game branded animations and fan hashtags amplified during the seventh-inning stretch.
Worcester
Example location: DCU Center, 50 Foster St, Worcester, MA 01608 Why: Arena and convention traffic guarantees eyeballs before and after events. Example activation: QR-driven projection directing attendees to a sponsor booth or afterparty within walking distance.
Example location: Polar Park, 100 Madison St, Worcester, MA 01608 Why: Packed baseball schedule and new development bring steady crowds to the Canal District. Example activation: Animated scoreboard-style loops with a short CTA tied to a gameday offer.
Springfield
Example location: MassMutual Center, 1277 Main St, Springfield, MA 01103 Why: Expos, concerts, and regional sports fill the plaza and surrounding streets. Example activation: A timed takeover aligned with a concert load-out, with a QR offer redeemable at a nearby retailer.
Example location: MGM Springfield, One MGM Way, Springfield, MA 01103 Why: Constant evening foot traffic and strong regional tourism. Example activation: Animated product storytelling with a bold CTA driving to a pop-up on the same block.
Cambridge
Example location: One Broadway (Kendall/CIC), One Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02142 Why: Large, clean facades at the heart of the tech cluster with visibility from Main St and Broadway. Example activation: Looping animations and a short CTA timed to a tech conference reception.
Example location: Harvard Science Center Plaza, 1 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA 02138 Why: Younger audiences, high social activity, and frequent campus events. Example activation: Hashtag-based engagement projected during student festivals, with a QR survey that feeds a live visualizer on the wall.
Permitting note: Massachusetts treats off-premise advertising as regulated signage. Our team handles the MassDOT Unlicensed Outdoor Advertising Permit when needed, and coordinates with city special event offices in Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, and Springfield to keep activations compliant.
Projection Mapping for Complex Activations
Flat walls are just the beginning. Projection mapping turns architectural features into part of the creative. Arches can open and close. Windows can pulse with color. Columns can appear to twist or crack open, revealing product visuals inside.
Retail launches feel cinematic when a building façade “transforms” during a reveal.
Political rallies gain energy with animated slogans, live data, or donation thermometers that update in real time.
Experiential campaigns benefit from 3D storytelling that aligns content with the surface geometry, blending art and message into a single moment.
AGM’s mapping workflow captures the building’s geometry, builds a digital twin, and pre-visualizes content so the streetside execution performs like a planned show, not a guess.
Site Analysis & Creative Specs
Great projections start long before the lens powers on. Our teams conduct targeted site analysis and return with creative specs that set your campaign up for measurable success.
We evaluate:
Foot traffic patterns and audience mix by hour and day
Traffic flow, approach angles, and dwell zones
Obstructions, surface color and texture, and ambient light levels
Projector placement, power access, and safe rigging points
Then we deliver tailored specs:
Aspect ratios and pixel dimensions that match the chosen wall
Brightness and color targets based on surface reflectivity and ambient light
Pacing guidance: motion density, scene length, and CTA timing
Mapping notes: avoid windows and signage, position logos in high-contrast regions
The creative is engineered to perform on that specific canvas, not just “close enough.”
High-output projector(s), media playback system, trained operators
Load-in, calibration, and strike
Permitting support where applicable
Optional 20 percent agency fee:
Analytics dashboards, QR tracking, heatmaps, recap decks
Mapping and scouting fees:
May apply for complex logistics, advance surveying, or location permissions
Budgets vary with scale. Multi-projector blends to cover large façades, lift rentals, crowd support, and bespoke content creation can increase scope. We’ll flag those early so you have a clean estimate before greenlighting the date.
On-Site Execution Playbook
AGM crews move fast and work with precision. This is the standard playbook for night-of delivery:
Timing: 7:30 to 11:30 pm for maximum overlap with foot traffic and nightlife
Placement: highly visible walls at intersections with multiple approach angles
Calibration: focus, color balance, and keystone correction dialed to the inch
Creative tips:
Motion beats static at roughly 4 to 1 for attention
Keep CTAs short and punchy, positioned in high-contrast zones
Use palettes that hold up against city light spill
Engagement add-on: pair projections with brand ambassadors distributing flyers, samples, or QR swag to drive instant action
If weather or on-site conditions shift, we roll to pre-vetted alternates to protect your impressions and keep the night on track.
Reporting & Measurement
Measurement is baked into the plan. Clients get clear numbers that reflect real outcomes in the street and online.
Core metrics:
Pedestrian estimates and dwell time near the projection site
QR scans, app downloads, and landing page sessions
Social shares, hashtag usage, UGC volume, and top-post highlights
Media pickups and estimated earned value
With the optional analytics package, you receive dashboards, a recap deck, and ROI modeling that ties spend to reach, engagement, and any tracked conversions. If footfall lift or sales impact is a priority, we instrument the activation to capture those changes.
