A Wunderman Melbourne update

We know it’s only March but Wunderman Melbourne has had a busy year! It’s all started with the launch of the Colonial Buy Smart iPad app which was a 2 week retail blitz campaign (picture below) that prompted 8,000 new members added to the database as well as a sales total of $1,438,718!

We also had the launch of the brand new Killawarra website and Facebook page which is being promoted with the amazing Killawara K Klub giveaway. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t jealous of the winners of this VIP experience. Limo service and free Killawara? What a great night out!

For this event Killawara is pairing up with She Can DJ and giving away a personally signed She Can DJ presents Minx CD, plus K Klub shows featuring She Can DJ artists at top nightclubs around Australia.

A work in progress, the Melbourne office has created a brand-new experience for potential new car owners. The Ford Falcon, a powerful sedan, is set to suit even the most dedicated Ute drivers. Wunderman Melbourne has created a website component called an 'experience tab' which allows visitors to explore each and every way the car can possibly be built. Coming soon are videos which will demonstrate how each component of the car functions so that possible buyers can choose the best features for their needs.

Sticking with the current theme, the Ford website has introduced these ‘experience’ tabs all over the website. The all-new Ford Kuga is a dynamic, high-quality vehicle that calls out to adventurous drivers. Videos are on display throughout the website to ensure that each user gets a full-on experience and can see all of the angles that this SUV has to offer. Check out the Wunderman team’s handy work.

5 horses, 1 fine lady, and a pair of damn sexy boots

Check out the latest work from our Melbourne office for equestrian apparel brand Weatherbeeta to launch their new fashion product, Dublin boots.

Australia's best horse trainers spent weeks making star performers out of these six magnificent creatures. And only one of them was human. Produced by AMVI, this viral film is already causing a stir amongst riders for the horses, women for the boots, and men for who's wearing them.

Monster challenge for Digital Production team

Once a month there is Digital Production team meet for a team building activity. This month the team were given the monstrous challenge of building pipe cleaner monsters.

As you can see from the pictures in this post, each and every one of the team expresses themselves in a very unique way, and in any contest, there can be only one winner and this month’s winner.

Voted by an independent 3^rd party, Nicole Green won with her monster “Snooki” (below). Snooki the hideous monster was not available for an interview.

No monsters were hurt in the making of this blog post and all monsters were promptly freed into the wilderness of the Sydney streets.

Wunderful start for new recruits

This week Wunderman are proud to announce an additional two new members of staff to the Wunderteam!

Firstly let’s give a warm welcome to Arthur Lin.

Arthur has a Masters in Master of Engineering Science from the Melbourne University and can speak fluent Mandarin.

He will be joining the Wunderman team as a CRM analyst in both our Sydney and Melbourne office.

Next we’ve got Emily Burns who joins us from Wunderman in the UK as an account manager. With previous experience with Global Nokia team, she will be an excellent addition to the Nokia team in Sydney.

As a graduate from Bath University, it is her first time in Australia and she looks forward to exploring everything that Australia has to offer.

Out with the old

Unfortunately this post isn’t dedicated to new members of the Wunderman team.

We sadly announce that our own Hakan Gogebakan will be leaving Wunderman Sydney after 3 years working on the Nokia account. A crucial part of the team, he supported account setup, operationalisation of the business and major campaign management. Hakan recounted one particular favourable moment:

“My wife and I welcomed our baby boy into the world on April 20^th 2010, we received a sweet package from the team at Wunderman. Package was generous and warm hearted. We appreciated the kind gesture – most importantly the ‘thought counted’!”He’s now leaving us for DGM Australia, but he fondly remembers his time at Wunderman.

We will miss you Hakan!
