History Of Victors & Spoils
Victors & Spoils (V&S), located in Boulder, Colorado, was the first advertising agency built on open innovation and crowdsourcing principles from the ground-up. V&S was co-founded in 2009 by John Winsor, Claudia Batten and Evan Fry, all former members of the advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B). V&S crowdsourced creative ideas for its ad campaigns through Agency Machine, its proprietary online platform. CEO John Winsor wanted to change the way that advertising was done, a difficult task in an industry entrenched in traditional models.
In 2012, Havas bought Victors & Spoils under the leadership of then-CEO, David Jones. At the time of the acquisition, V&S had been going through a period of huge growth, working with clients like Harley Davidson and Adidas, and shaking up the industry with its radical approach to creativity.
However, the growth came to an end in 2018. Victors & Spoils was officially closed. A Havas spokesperson told Adweek that V&S was closing because the group was shifting its our focus towards “the most modern and relevant areas.” The statement also mentioned increased investment in AI, conversational commerce, customer journey mapping and blockchain, proving if nothing else that Havas is up-to-date on marketing buzzwords.
