Manhattan Office Workers Start a Post-it War, and Stick With It
In a noisy and bustling stretch of Lower Manhattan, where cabdrivers blare their horns and pedestrians scurry by with laser focus, people have places to be, it seems, and are disinclined to waste any time getting there.
But every so often, someone walking along Canal Street glances upward and pauses. And then pulls out a phone to take a picture.
On Tuesday, the windows of the office buildings on both sides of the street, near the Holland Tunnel, were covered in sticky notes, recreating Marge and Maggie from “The Simpsons” and a Superman logo that stood as tall as an entire floor. There was a homage to Prince, his symbol depicted in purple Post-its. And there were cheekier messages and references to memes as well: “5pm yet?” and “Bye Felicia.”
The creations are the result of a friendly back and forth between the firms, mostly advertising and marketing companies, on opposite sides of Canal Street.

Everything started with an innocent “HI” on the 6th floor at 75 Varick Street in NYC
Soon, “Sup” appeared on a building from across the street at 200 Hudson
As both buildings had a lot of media and marketing agencies, it eventually turned into WAR

With no other option, Havas Worldwide brought the war to an end with this epic mic drop
Workers stayed late with beer and pizza to create the spectacular finale, and fellas from Spectacle Studio later posted this video
