303 MullenLowe has officially launched TK Maxx in Australia with a campaign that promises exceptional value on big brands, making the improbable possible - an insight that inspired the launch campaign tagline, 'yes way'.Filmed beachside in Sydney and featuring sun, surf and stilettos, 'yes way' highlights TK Maxx's arrival as an off-price retailer where the brands are big and the prices are small.

Says Richard Morgan, ECD, 303 MullenLowe: "Our challenge was introducing
TK Maxx to an Australian audience, whilst giving the European brand a
quirky and uniquely Australian tone of voice, which led us to 'yes way' -
a platform that captures the positivity of the Australian spirit, where
anything is possible."
303 MullenLowe has created a fully
integrated campaign, from the media, digital, PR and social strategy to
television, outdoor and radio executions. The launch of 'yes way' kicked
off with a media event at the Royal Botanic Gardens last week and will
be supported with social content on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.
From
Thursday 20th April until early May, TK Maxx will open 35 stores in
NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Canberra. The stores are being converted
from former Trade Secret locations. There are a few additional stores
planned to open later in the year, including new locations at Top Ryde
and Wollongong.Says Tessa Buenen, AVP - head of
marketing TK
Maxx Australia: "We're incredibly excited to be bringing the TK Maxx
brand to Australian shoppers. This campaign brings our proposition to
life in a really fun, vibrant way that will inspire Australians to come
and discover an ever-changing supply of big brand treasures at 
amazing
prices."TK Maxx offers everything from women's, men's and kid's fashion, to footwear, accessories, lingerie, beauty, luggage, homewares and more. It has over 500 stores across seven countries - the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, and now Australia.

Not the way to go
Shame they're ignoring the WA market. Foreign brands including H&M, Topshop, Zara, Uniqlo and John Lewis are confidently expanding as consumers spend big in Perth. Missing a trick there TK Maxx.
bad...
It's fun, it's fashion. Job done.
Looks great. We likey.
i like the legs on the beach, would love to find them sticking out after my cold early surf.
I'm not sure who's going to like (or remember) these ads unless they're offended by the sexy women's legs whose heads and torsos appear buried in sand, but the stores will no doubt do well. Australia has lacked brand-name fashion discounting. The TJX juggernaut will make some waves on these shores.
horrible. On every level. Really did anyone even try with this? If you had anything to do with this disaster, get your name off this turd before you never work again. This town is too small.
Cliched Aussie attempt to rip off the WK work for TK in london.
embarrassingly hokey
Cliched Aussie attempt to rip off the WK work for TK in london.
Crap. Hardly an original strategy....Big brands, small prices....c'mon guys that's just lazy . There's plenty of planners around there, clearly no one wanted to work on this.
Boring.
For a brand that is suppose to revolutionise the way we shop this is far from revolutionary.
Feels like old school traditional work to me.
It's trying to follow the UK work but falls awfully flat.
They should have pitched the work.
There are a lot of agencies pissed off at losing this pitch. Still holding a grudge therefore trolling this piece.
Big Brand. Small idea.
Right?
@ obvious, on the contrary, I think all the agencies who pitched for this business would be breathing a sigh of relief now.
loving the ad. tagline is a little too cliched. could've come up with something much better than just that.
Used to love Trade Secret. Now...no stock and really boring. Spend 5 minutes and then leave
