Onthe occasion of the 3rd UNLOCK BOOK FAIR its originator Javier Abarca did release Punk Graffiti Archives: The Netherlands. Together with Thomas Chambers the book was created to give insight into the long tradition of Dutch namewriting, especially focusing on Amsterdam, where the book fair took place in 2018.

Punk Graffiti Archives: The Netherlands was published together with Punk Graffiti Archives: Madrid to spotlight two independent European namewriting phenomenons of a similar kind which appeared before the New York graffiti virus took over Europe.

Both scenes disappeared when the New York tradition of graffiti became better known through the arrival of books and documentaries. The imported culture was far more complex than the local ones, and in many senses more interesting, so many writers abandoned the local codes and started to explore the game of tags, throw-ups, pieces and trains.

In the late 1970s an intense but casual tagging scene was developed in Amsterdam by punk and squatter kids. By the turn of the decade a second generation of writers not necessarily connected to punk took over and really pushed the idea of getting up and going all-city. The scene thrived until the New York tradition of graffiti was imported and widely adopted by local writers in the mid eighties.

This accessible, well-illustrated, short publication does not attempt to provide a comprehensive account of all of the graffiti found in the quarries along the Western Front. Instead, David Crossland focuses on the personal stories behind the engravings. The result is a fascinating and moving introduction to a subject that offers a new lens through which to examine the First World War; it is one that is very much worth exploring.

The Hirschbach tagline is "not your typical trucking company" and when you see one of their trucks driving down the road, you know exactly what I'm talking about. From their trucks to the company building, Hirschbach uses graffiti-style branding that draws attention in all the right ways but it's how they value their drivers that keeps that attention from wandering elsewhere.

Established in 1935 with more than 85 years in the industry, they know a thing or two about running a recruiting department. Which is why I was stoked to sit down with marketing and social media manager Bianca Sanchez at the beautiful Gaylord Resort in Orlando, Florida. In this interview, we talk about Bianca's struggles and successes with driver recruiting along with using their website and social media content as a recruiting tool.

The city is your playground.

With limited art supplies, graffiti artists are very cautious about where to tag. Certain artists place stickers on the ground at the end of pedestrian crossings based on the observation that pedestrians tend to look down when waiting to cross the road. Such simple urban hacks allow an artist to intercept eyeballs without having to purchase million-dollar billboards. Without feeling constrained by legal ad space, graffiti artists have mastered the art of camouflaging their messaging into their environment. Such playful interactions allow artists to display their creativity. This genre of graffiti (or street art) is also typically very well received by the community. Marketers should strive to embrace natural surroundings and display creativity beyond art and copy.

Personalize the out-of-home experience.

From a copy standpoint, graffiti artists are able to be more nimble and contextual with their messaging. They can appropriate elements (e.g., tagline or artwork) to a specific location and timeframe. The ability to be non-restricted to a single overarching final piece of creative allows the graffiti artist to start a more personal relationship with the urban citizen. Every tag is now a tailored experience. As an example, in 2009, Banksy cleverly pointed the attention to a current-affairs issue with clever copy and great positioning with a nod at the steep increase of U.K. street cameras threatening personal privacy. Without having to deal with strict copy guidelines and approval processes, Banksy is truly able to move at the speed of culture and, thus, enhance the power and strength of his witty graffiti. Marketers should be able to adapt messaging to time and place on the most micro level possible. This deepens the relationship with an audience.

The talented outlaws of the art world use cities as their canvas; they are able to engage in a conversation with a city population through creative interactions. Marketers have the opportunity to do the same; it just requires a touch of flair.
