You must be working on a new business pitch, but I don't have binoculars so I can't tell for what. I see all of your ads posted to your office walls. And the guy in the green shirt pacing back and forth in the room with about 10 people rubbing their chins at the video you're screening. Who's the jerk who walks to the window and stares into my apartment everytime his cell phone rings? All of your computer monitors face the windows, so I can see everything you're doing. One of these days, I'm going to buy binoculars so that I can read your ichat names and really screw with you.

Shaun $1000 a day isn't much more than what Mary pays in rent.

That's no fun Strain. Where's your sense of adventure? Hey everyone, let's go to the library!! Donde esta la biblioteca?

Or just go to the library and use a reverse directory to check the address and see what name/numbers are listed to it.

1: Dress up like a bike messenger. 2: Obtain a cardboard tube (nothing heavy duty, something that can be crushed and discarded into a trash can). 3: Figure out what floor they are on. 4: Enter the building and say you have a package for one of the agencies you mentioned below. Note - If the security guard says they will sign for it tell them it is a sensitive document and you have specific directions to deliver it directly to the agency. If this doesn't work, see if you can get a peek at a directory somewhere in the lobby, kindly say you'll take the package back and get it sorted out with your boss, leave. 5: If you're allowed through take the elevator to the floor that you determined the agency was on. Get your bearings and by location determine who the agency is. 6: Crush the cardboard tube and throw it away to look like you delivered the package (there is always a trash can somewhere, if not look for a bathroom on the floor). 7: Now that you have their name, check their web site to obtain e-mail addresses. Open a bogus yahoo e-mail account and send them e-mails (if you have wireless capability do it through public routers or poach someone’s bandwidth so they can't trace who it's coming from) 8: F with them and post the correspondence. 9: Laugh quietly in a dark corner, and watch the movie Cloak and Dagger while you plot your next move.

right now you're anonymous... as soon as you do or put something in your window you won't be... I like you're idea of ichat espionage...

Place an ad or.........

Jeffrey and I have been selling ads for adholes and have been toying with the idea of creating an ad agency that targets ad industry people. This could be a great guerilla marketing opportunity.

Now I wonder who is watching who.

How about a webcam pointed in their direction we can all be voyeurs. You could stage a murder in your apartment when you thought they were looking to see how they respond.

PS. I've been monitoring them for over a year now (minus some time while their offices were under renovation) and have thought lots about posting messages to the windows. However, I like the idea of really freaking them out with sending them random IM messages once I figure out their ichat names. Also, although everyone in their offices faces away from the windows, I don't have curtains and I'm a little nervous to find out what they've seen in my apartment since I've spent so much time studying them.

According to Yahoo Yellow Pages, the following ad agencies are in 100 Aveune of the Americas: Berlin Cameron, Uniworld, Colwood, Rubin Ehrenthal & Associates & Healthwolrd Communications Group. I tried to take pictures on Friday evening, but the focus was off and I didn't get anything good.

We should take shots of their ads and post them up here and we can all make fun of them. Then we can email them about the site. Maybe we can change our tagline. "Adholes–we're everywhere!"

Oh yeah, and definitely take Kevin up on his offer, even if it's a Saturday. :-)

:-) I dig it. I say you go for the LED board that you can pick up at places like Spencer's Gifts or Target... then scroll your messages to them 24/7. Or.. go for the outrageous guerilla stunt.. do something really out there/funny e.g. get someone to dress up in a gorilla (get it, guerilla, gorilla, snort) and do something strange or obscene. Ok, that was juvenile, but you get the point.

Surveillance. I dig it.

And if you need an extra pair, I'll TOTALLY share my bare boobies, only that may harm your attack more than help... but hey, I'm still here. Lemme know.

Mary, Bare-Breast one night, post the phone number, and when they call, share.

Get somebody nearby to photo you barebreasting them, on video.

Then, tell them to hire you at a great promo position for twice what you make, or you'll show their wives that they're paying company expenses and staying for overtime to hire bare-breasted gals.

Find out who the posted ads are for and pitch against them.

Careful Mary, now they know who that naked girl they see all the time is.
