Improving the experience for repeat customers.

Wonderbly is the world's largest personalised books publisher. Since their inception in 2012, their best-selling books have delighted over 8 million children and grown-ups all over the world. From learning about their own identity, to discovering the world around them and developing empathy, curiosity and confidence, their stories help prepare children for every chapter of their life ahead.


We started our partnership in early 2023, when Wonderbly was going through a re-brand with Brisbane-based agency LoveWork. Throughout that process, we were tasked with defining a long-term vision for improving the experience for repeat customers.

Once the vision was validated, we started breaking everything down into deliverable chunks, and ship them one by one.
