UPS x Coco Gauff
2024
Agency: The Martin Agency
CD: Kevin Ragland
Senior Art Director: Brittany Lazaroff
Copywriter: Landon Hall
Art Director: Chaz Malloy
Design Director: Henrique Santiago
Designer: Cleo Peng
Producer: Marjorie Fajardo
Director/Animators: LOBO
In 2023. UPS signs Coco Gauff as a partner, and then she wins the US Open at age 19. In her post-win speech, she called out her doubters with this iconic quote:
“Thank you to the people who didn’t believe in me… to those who thought you were putting water on my fire, you were really adding gas to it.”
That line, and My Hero Academia (her fav anime) was thus the inspiration behind a story centered around Gen Z dreamers and UPS’ first foray into anime! Because just like Coco defied her doubters, Gen Z small businesses face theirs every day, and we casted real Gen Z small business owners.
