Post-it notes. The world would be in chaos without them. Nobody would remember anything. Nobody would be able to turn their office walls into superhero murals. Nobody would be able to leave passive-aggressive messages on the doors of communal refrigerators. And nobody would be able to have the sort of epic Post-it note battle that recently took place in New York.
It all started innocently enough. An employee at Harrison and Star wrote a simple “hi” in Post-it notes on her window and waited for somebody to respond. And somebody did. They wrote “sup”. So far, so civil. But it didn’t stop there. Oh no. It was only just getting started! Both buildings host a number of marketing and media agencies and their creative inhabitants couldn’t resist getting involved in the action. Soon enough the windows were full of funny messages and pictures. But it all came to a devastating end in the most unexpected of ways, by building managers who ordered all participants to have everything taken down by the weekend.
As both buildings had a lot of media and marketing agencies, it eventually turned into WAR. The windows started filling up with funny pictures and messages. Post-it manufacturer 3M also joined the war by providing free ammunition! 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 guys from Spectacle Studio later turned the picture into an awesome video.
