StreetEasy's latest marketing campaign, "It's Okay To Look," is aimed at those who have been wanting to find a place in New York City with specific amenities like washer and dryers, bathtubs and more.

It comes to life via pulp noir-like illustrations reminiscent of romance novels, spread across some 30,000 out-of-home media placements, including bus shelters and subway platforms.

Launched in 2006, StreetEasy is an online platform that lists properties for rent or sale in New York City and New Jersey.
