UPS Brand Loyalty from Urgent Content on Vimeo. Biking to work this AM I couldn’t miss the tat on the UPS man unloading his truck.. It was so bold, and striking. There had to be a story behind it, but alas, it was what henry referred to as “old school blue collar” mentality. Which I [...]

It’s that U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan’s line that comes to mind when I read the name of Jon Winsor’s newly announced agency “Victors and Spoils”.
