Meet Your North End Halifax Neighbour: Stephen Flynn & Mike Postma, co-founders of Wunder
In the bustling and ever-evolving neighborhood of Halifax's North End, one creative agency stands out for its unique approach to marketing and branding. Wunder, co-founded by Stephen Flynn and Mike Postma, has been making waves since its inception in 2017. The agency's mission is simple yet profound: to produce exceptional work and let it guide their journey. Their passion for big ideas and standout creative marketing campaigns have been the driving force behind their success.
A New Era of Creative Marketing
Flynn and Postma have a shared vision for Wunder, centered on the concept of how to effectively communicate messages and engage audiences in a meaningful way. Gone are the days when a straightforward billboard or TV ad could suffice to make an impact. In today's saturated market, creativity and innovation are of great importance, and Wunder excels in crafting campaigns that captivate and resonate with audiences.
A notable example of their innovative approach is a campaign they developed for the Nova Scotia Career Development Association (NSCDA). The agency took what could have been a complex organizational message and transformed it into an engaging experience by using time stamps from popular Netflix shows. By suggesting careers like "season one, episode two of The Office," they created an interactive and relatable campaign that went beyond traditional job postings.
Proving Great Ideas Know No Boundaries
While cities like Toronto and Vancouver are often seen as the hot-spots of creative work, the team at Wunder believes that great ideas can emerge from anywhere. They have a burning desire to continuously demonstrate this truth, proving that Halifax's North End is a fertile ground for creativity. This view was recently validated when Wunder was named Small Agency of the Year in Canada by Strategy Magazine. This award not only recognizes their exceptional work but also highlights the potential of North End Halifax as a hub for innovation.
The Vibrant Spirit of Halifax’s North End
Since relocating to the North End of Halifax in 2020, Wunder has found inspiration in the neighborhood's dynamic and vibrant atmosphere. The area is full of passion-driven businesses that reflect the same character of transformation and originality that Wunder embodies. The North End is alive with colour and creativity, with storefronts and branding that speak to the dedication and enthusiasm of their creators.
For Flynn and Postma, the North End is more than just a location; it is a community that resonates with their values and vision. It is a place where businesses are not merely profit-driven, but are born from a genuine passion for their craft. This shared spirit of innovation and creativity makes the North End a fitting home for Wunder and continues to fuel their commitment to pushing creative boundaries.
In essence, Wunder is not just a creative agency; it is a testament to the power of ideas and the belief that originality can thrive anywhere. Through their work, Flynn and Postma are redefining what it means to stand out in the world of marketing, proving that the North End of Halifax is a place where creativity knows no limits.
