- Global campaign celebrates the real standards, real work and real pride behind every job
- Campaign introduces Stan as the voice of the campaign; a sharp-witted talking toolbox who calls out jobsite nonsense with humor and honesty
TOWSON, Md., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STANLEY, a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand and global leader in tools, today reintroduced itself through a bold new positioning, ALL BUILD. NO BULL., launching strong with an overhauled product portfolio and a global campaign that speaks to professionals in small business construction. Rooted in the experiences of residential pros, the campaign cuts through the noise, exaggeration and jobsite nonsense that stand in the way of getting the job done right—championing the pride, independence and reputation earned through honest work, and reinforcing STANLEY’s commitment to equipping pros with the tools and confidence to build it.
“The people who rely on STANLEY every day know the difference between noise and substance,” said Guilhaume Bonafe, Brand President of STANLEY. “The new campaign sets the clear direction we are taking as a brand in everything we do: direct, confident and grounded in the realities of the job.”
Introducing Stan, the Talking No-Nonsense Toolbox
At the center of the campaign is a sharp-witted talking toolbox who has been around enough jobsites to know exactly what it means to be ALL BUILD. NO BULL. Across a series of 10 ad spots, the toolbox calls out the marketing hype, overcomplicated features, and category nonsense that don’t serve the pro. This character gives the campaign a voice with personality and makes a clear point: small business pros do not need more hype. They need tools that let them get more jobs done solo. At launch, the toolbox, Stan, shared: “If it sounds like bull, it usually is. Now let’s get back to work.”
That idea runs straight through the new STANLEY platform. ALL BUILD. NO BULL. is more than a tagline, it’s the standard the brand stands behind.
“Residential pros—especially the youngest among them—are savvy enough to be skeptical and quickly tune out anything that feels like empty talk or posturing,” said Tim Buszka, Senior Director, Global Brand Marketing for STANLEY. “We’re showing up and making a promise other tool brands won’t, and capturing attention using a sense of humor that was born on the jobsite. When STANLEY unapologetically calls out the same bull they deal with in the field every day, we show that we’ve understood the job from day one—and prove it through the performance of every STANLEY tool.”
The campaign execution is designed for digital, social and retail media with in-store promotions planned in partnership with select retailers. The campaign will run across markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand starting in August.
All Build from Day One
The all-work mentality has been part of STANLEY’s DNA from the start. When the brand was founded in 1843, Founder Frederick Stanley saw the need for a brand that made tools shaped by the work, and workers themselves. He developed tools built to stand up to pressure, solve practical problems and help one person do more on their own.
From the No. 99 Utility Knife to the first steel tape measure to innovations like the TradeLift™, STANLEY has stayed focused on what real jobs demand. More than 180 years later, that belief still holds. Professionals build their reputations the same way STANLEY built its own: through good work, hard-won skill and problems solved. There is no room for shortcuts. No room for tools that look the part but do not hold up. And no room for bull.
