America was built on hard work and elbow grease: people who chopped wood, hammered nails and didn’t take the easy route. Shinola, a brand whose story is built on the comeback of blue-collar Detroit, is celebrating today’s builders and do-gooders in its latest ad campaign from agency of record Partners & Spade.

The campaign, “Let’s Roll Up Our Sleeves,” features stories of philanthropists who help create job opportunities, much like Shinola, itself, did in Detroit.
