postering

Tacking up flyers

Postering is the activity of putting up posters in public spaces, typically to advertise events, promote causes, or spread messages: The band spent the afternoon postering the neighborhood for their upcoming show.

The term is common among activists, musicians, and promoters who wheat-paste or tape flyers to walls, poles, and bulletin boards.
