Totally Workwear totally loves your work in latest brand campaign via Akkomplice
Totally Workwear, Australia’s largest supplier of trade, safety and uniform gear with over 90 stores nationally, has launched its refreshed branding via a new campaign, led by recently appointed lead creative agency, Akkomplice.
In an industry where product and price has ruled for years, the ‘Love Your Work’ campaign shifts focus to champion the workers, not just the workwear. Akkomplice worked with The Growth Activists, The Pistol, OMD, Tomboy and Shotbymac to bring the campaign from strategy to screens and beyond.
Says Troy Yewdall, head of Totally Workwear: “Trade, safety and uniform gear is what sell. ‘Love Your Work’ is what we celebrate. This campaign goes deeper than just advertising; it’s at the core of everything we do, it’s our DNA and drives our approach to how we work together with partner brands, customers, and communities.
Says Ray Chand, marketing manager, Totally Workwear: “Our team of agencies lead by Akkomplice has put themselves in our steel-toed boots and delivered a campaign we couldn’t be happier with.”
Says Glenn Dalton, chief creative officer at Akkomplice: “I love working in advertising, but anytime I see my hands getting too ‘keyboard soft’ I need to close the laptop, open the toolbox and go do some real work. This really was a team effort with agencies and client all getting their hands dirty — doing it properly, not probably.”
The campaign is live across Australia on streaming and catch-up channels, radio, OOH, social and digital. A suite of over 200 new ‘Love Your Work’ branded in-store and promotional assets has been created by Akkomplice for Totally Workwear stores to individually access via a new campaign HUB, built and managed by the agency.
Totally Workwear’s appointment of Akkomplice adds to a strong year of new business for the agency with Sorbent, Slater & Gordon and Grove Juice all recently partnering with the independent Melbourne agency.

Nice one TB!
With their recent Ecd exit, I’d say this ‘love your work’ work is a major stomp on the outgoing culture. Not great, but makes it point loud and clear.
“Gloveboxes that double as filing cabinets” – you know me so well. Nice no-nonsense campaign.
Another day, another bland headline on a billboard.
The idea is… puns and right type alignment?
The idea is pretty simple. Totally Workwear ‘Loves your work’ Probably something you haven’t heard your CD say to you in a while.
I like these. Tradies will like these too.
“and how about this bloke”
These dudes love a punny headline hey.
Yes. It gets a bit much when they come thick and fast, one after the other.
Well done Akkomplice. Your work is getting noticed. Forget the haters.
…to all the tradies out there. Our industry doesn’t talk to them enough. The often-forgotten backbone of Australia. Love this.
looks like the mac ops took the scamps a little too seriously
Punny headlines and cliched manifesto’s are not an idea.
The white type on white backgrounds was a bold choice. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Learn how to frame for lock ups
Great stuff. A campaign for real people, not priviledged ad hacks.
