When Marketing Becomes Its Own Campaign

Great marketers don’t just tell you they’re creative—they show you. That’s exactly what happened when Hoosier Marketing Guy, the only ad agency in Indiana with over $30 million in online sales, pulled off a bold late-night PR stunt that has Lafayette talking.


The Stunt: Pressure-Washed Marketing in the Streets

In the middle of the night, teams armed with pressure washers hit downtown Lafayette sidewalks. But instead of cleaning everything, they carefully washed away dirt to leave behind giant messages in the concrete:

👉 “Bad Marketing Wastes Money.”
👉 “Funnels > Websites.”
👉 “Hoosier Marketing Guy = $30M Online Sales.”

By morning, business owners and pedestrians walking through downtown couldn’t help but stop, laugh, and snap photos. The stunt was subtle, eco-friendly, and undeniably clever.


Why Reverse Graffiti Works

Unlike traditional ads, reverse graffiti or “clean tagging”—uses the city itself as a canvas. It’s legal, eye-catching, and almost impossible to ignore.

  • It grabbed attention. People who normally ignore billboards were suddenly photographing the sidewalk.

  • It sparked social media buzz. Within hours, Instagram and Facebook feeds in Lafayette were full of pictures tagged #HoosierMarketingGuy.

  • It reinforced authority. Instead of bragging, the messages pointed to facts: this is the only Indiana agency with a proven $30M sales record.


The Local Reaction

Lafayette residents loved it:

  • “I thought it was vandalism at first, but then I realized—it’s brilliant marketing.”

  • “Honestly, it’s more creative than anything I’ve seen around here in years.”

  • “You can tell these guys think differently. That’s who I want running my ads.”

Business owners saw the point immediately: most were sick of throwing money at ads that don’t work. The graffiti made them stop and think.


The Bigger Message

Behind the humor and creativity was a serious message:

  • Lafayette businesses are still wasting thousands on old-school marketing.

  • Marketing should be measurable, creative, and profitable.

  • To grow, businesses need modern tools like Meta Ads, direct response funnels, and clear ROI tracking.

Hoosier Marketing Guy’s late-night stunt was more than art it was proof that thinking differently gets results.


Conclusion: Lafayette’s Viral Stunt That Proved a Point

While other agencies chase likes and hype, Hoosier Marketing Guy turned a dirty sidewalk into a viral campaign.

This wasn’t about graffiti. It was about showing Lafayette businesses what real marketing creativity looks like and why it matters.

👉 If you’re tired of wasting money on the wrong marketing, it’s time to work with the only $30M agency in Indiana that actually delivers results.
