‘We’ve achieved some great things together’: Akkomplice head speaks after chief creative departure
Melbourne-based indie creative agency Akkomplice has lost its chief creative officer, who is departing after nearly two years in the role.
Glenn Dalton joined in April 2022, becoming the agency’s first ever chief creative.

He spent three years as an executive creative director at Hardhat before moving to Akkomplice, with previously experience at AFJ Partnership and CHE also under his belt.
Under Dalton’s creative leadership, Akkomplice won competitive pitches for Slater & Gordon, Grove Juice and Sorbent, launching work for all three clients in the past six months.
It has also created campaigns for Fuso Trucks, Totally Workwear and Freightliner.
“I enjoyed my time at Akkomplice, working with some brilliant people and I’m very proud of the creative work the agency produced while I was there,” Dalton said.
“But there comes a time when you want to do other things, and for me that time is 9am, or just after my coffee, on Thursday, 8 Feb.
“So, if you have a brand that needs wrangling, an insight that needs finding or an ad that needs writing, let’s chat. I’m available for creative projects and partnerships with nice people, agencies and maybe a few direct clients,” he added.

Kenny Hill, founder and creative director of Akkomplice, told Mumbrella: “Glenn’s delivered some great work while he’s been at Akkomplice and we’ve achieved some great things together.”
Two months ago, the agency hired a new general manager, Linda Monique, who joined not from the typical agency pathway.
Hill said at the time: “…I jumped at the opportunity to bring her onboard.
“Linda is a unique force and has an incredible talent for ambitious solutions coupled with a deep experience of commercial strategy, which our clients love tapping into.”
