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.

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.
