Super Mario

A massive amount of work has made its way through our Melbourne creative department over the last few months. And tucked away in the corner, toiling away behind the biggest computer screen in the agency, is Mario. He's only been with Wunderman for a few months, but in that time he's taken everything we have thrown at him and hit it for six.

This Friday a rare sighting of sunshine in Melbourne also saw a rare sighting of Mario from out behind his desk. He's denying rumours that the barman asked him for ID before serving him that beer, but there's no denying we're proud to have him on our team. Onya Mario!

It's a threepeat!

After a year of hard slog, new biz wins and several new faces, the Wunderteam were very proud to see their efforts recognised with a finalist nomination at the B&T Agency of The Year Awards.

Wunderman Australia is a finalist in the National DM Agency category. This follows our Melbourne office achieving a State Agency of The Year finalist last year and the year before.Making it a finalist threepeat!

Winners announced on 3rd December. Be sure and keep your fingers crossed for us.

An inspirational excursion

Our Melbourne creative director Stanley is continually reminding us that inspiration can be found anywhere, as long as you look hard enough.

Today he set out to inspire the whole agency with a secret visit to the Lyon Housemuseum. It may not look that exciting from the street, but you can't imagine what lies behind that facade.


The Lyon family are serious art collectors and architects. They designed the house to accommodate them and their amazing art collection.


Quite how Stanley managed to get us inside the walls we'll never know. But everyone who came along for the visit walked out feeling inspired like never before.


The house even has a music room for chamber music performances. And a pipe organ that has to be heard to be believed.


Last but not least was the Black Cube. This housed video installations and was also wired up for some serious Playstation action!

The Mrs Schwartz Rule of Service

Lester Wunderman, founder of Wunderman, gives a personal insight into understanding customers, relationship marketing and the imperative of needs. He calls it the 'Mrs Schwartz Rule of Service'. It involves chickens.

Prizes and Farewells

It's been a big week in the Sydney office with a sad double departure and a glorious honour.

We bid farewell to Kate Nicoli who moves on to what amounts to a promotion but it cannot possibly be in an agency as good as the one she's leaving. Never before have we seen such an ecstatic and overwhelmingly childlike reaction to a farewell gift as we witnessed today. It was truly one of those moments when you wish you'd had a video camera to record the giddy squealing.


And Cory Spence, a freelance digital producer, who's short time here made a large impact with his diligence, expertise and outstanding wit. We shall miss his email humour immensely.

On a hugely positive note, Nicole Green, digital producer on Nokia has received a global accolade.


Ever the quiet achiever, often working late with conference calls to regional production hubs and offices around the world, and never the cavil uttered, Nicole has been awarded the Global Producers' Award. Of over 400 people working in 108 markets from 53 offices around the world, Nicole has been chosen as the one producer who stood out among the rest for communication, project management, precision and personality.

Well done Nic. High honour indeed, and deservedly so.
