Big congratulations to our incredible agency partners and everyone involved in bringing the Skittles Gaming Flute to life! 🏆 🦁

We’re excited to celebrate two Cannes Lions wins for this wonderfully unconventional project:
🥈 Silver Lion – Entertainment Lions for Gaming - Use of Humour
🥉 Bronze Lion – Brand Experience and Activation - Tech-Led Brand Experience

Projects like this don’t start with a blueprint. They start with a bold idea and a team willing to ask, “Can we actually make this work?”

At wonderMakr, we call these brand inventions. Before anything is built, we invest in a dedicated Discovery Phase to understand the vision, technical requirements, objectives, and constraints, ensuring the final solution delivers on every level. It’s a collaborative process that gives ambitious ideas the foundation they need to become reality.

We’re incredibly grateful to our partners for trusting us with a challenge that showcased the very best of what we do: solving complex problems, inventing what’s never existed before, and turning imaginative ideas into real-world experiences.

Congratulations again to everyone who helped make this one happen. It’s an honour to be part of work that continues to push our industry forward. 🌈 🪈

Canada Day is a reminder that this country isn’t defined by a place. It’s defined by its people.

That’s something we’ve believed for a long time.

Back in 2017, we partnered with Canadian Tire to help bring the Red Door to Canada to life for Canada 150. Four live-streaming red doors were installed in Whitehorse, Vancouver, Toronto, and St. John’s, connecting Canadians from coast to coast in real time.

With just a 200 millisecond delay, people could see one another, wave hello, share stories, and strike up conversations with someone they may never have met otherwise. Thousands of kilometres disappeared the moment the doors opened.

Nearly a decade later, it’s still one of those projects that reminds us why we love creating experiences. Not because of the technology behind them, but because of the connections they create.

As a proudly Canadian company, we’re grateful to build experiences that bring people together, whether they’re across the street or across the country.

So, in the spirit of the Red Door, we’d love to hear from you:
If you could open a door anywhere in Canada today, where would it lead?

Maybe it’s your hometown. A favourite lake. A family cottage. A neighbourhood café. Or somewhere you’ve always wanted to explore.

Happy Canada Day from all of us at wonderMakr. 🇨🇦

Not every project needs a screen to make an impact.

For Volvo Car Canada we had the opportunity to produce a large-scale atrium installation at CF Toronto Eaton Centre, featuring five suspended banners, including a centrepiece stretching 70 feet through the heart of the mall.

Bringing it to life required far more than large-format printing. From engineering reviews and structural considerations to custom fabrication, rigging design, colour testing, overnight installation, and extensive R&D around the sculptural “crumple” effect, every detail was carefully considered.

While many know wonderMakr for our interactive and bespoke technology work, projects like this highlight another side of what we do. We’re also a team of producers, problem-solvers, and technical consultants who thrive on turning ambitious ideas into reality, whether that means building a connected digital experience or suspending a 70-foot installation in one of Canada’s busiest shopping centres.

This is the kind of challenge we love. Equal parts creativity, craftsmanship, and ex*****on.

We’re grateful to have collaborated on such an ambitious project and to work alongside teams who aren’t afraid to think big.

wonderMakr spent the past week at the Experiential Marketing Summit (EMS) in Las Vegas, and what a week it was!

If you were there, you probably remember us as the mad scientists in the innovation lab, cooking up bold, creative solutions and immersive ideas with our unique toolbox of technologies.

We had the opportunity to connect with so many incredible people and had so many meaningful conversations with teams who truly understand the power of experiential marketing.

To everyone who stopped by the lab, asked questions, shared ideas, and got curious about what we were building, thank you. Your energy and enthusiasm made the week unforgettable.

We’re leaving EMS feeling inspired, energized, and more excited than ever about what’s ahead. And we’re just getting started. Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes moments from the Innovation Lab, along with a deeper look at the concepts and experiences we brought to life in Vegas.

Next week, we’ll be reaching out to all the amazing people we had the chance to meet so we can keep the conversations going and start brewing up the next great experience together. In the meantime, our inboxes are always open if you’d like to connect.

See you next year at EMS. 🧪✨

A defining moment for wonderMakr ✨

We’re so incredibly proud to announce that Carissa Stewart has been named President & Chief Executive Officer of wonderMakr.
This marks an exciting new chapter for our company and a powerful evolution in our leadership.

Founded by Mark Stewart in 2013, wonderMakr began with a bold vision to push the boundaries of experiential innovation and bring together the digital and physical worlds in entirely new ways. Since then, Mark’s creativity, curiosity, and next-level thinking have helped shape wonderMakr into the award-winning experiential innovation studio it is today.

Two years later, Carissa joined the business, bringing with her an incredible depth of expertise in marketing, strategy, relationship building, and organizational leadership. Over the years, she has helped shape not only the growth of wonderMakr, but the way the company operates, leads, collaborates, and supports both clients and team members alike.

As we enter our female CEO era, we’re celebrating a leader who brings clarity, empathy, ambition, and vision to everything she does. Carissa has been instrumental in building the foundational heart of wonderMakr, and we could not be more excited or confident as she steps into the CEO role and leads our company into what’s next.

At the same time, Mark will transition into the role of Founder & Chief Innovation Officer, where he will continue driving the bold ideas, innovation, and creative exploration that have defined wonderMakr from day one.

As partners in both life and business, Carissa and Mark have built wonderMakr side by side, combining visionary innovation with strategic leadership to create something truly special.

This is more than a leadership transition. It’s a defining milestone for our team, our clients, our partners, and our brand.
And we’re just getting started. Congratulations to our wonderful leaders!

We build experiences and interactives for humans. Which means we’re also building physical assets that live in the real world, not just on a screen. That carries a different kind of responsibility.

It’s not just about how something looks or how it works in the moment. It’s also about what it’s made of, how it’s built, and what happens to it after the experience is over.

So we spend time thinking about that.
What actually needs to be there.
What can be reused or reworked.
What might have a life beyond a single moment.

In practice, that can take a lot of different forms.

Starting with something that already exists and finding a new way to use it.
Designing interactions that can evolve with small, intentional changes.
Building systems that can be refreshed, reprogrammed, and brought back in different ways.

It’s not always perfect, and we’re still learning as we go.
But it’s something we try to carry into every project, a way of thinking about how to make things that feel meaningful, without making more than we need to.

Made with purpose, designed to last.

Happy Earth Day from your friends at wonderMakr.

A Pint-Sized Plot Twist 🍀 🍦

As drinking culture shifts, especially among Gen Z, who are increasingly choosing to drink less, rituals like “going for a pint” are being redefined.

wonderMakr felt very lucky to partner with and , to bring O’Häagen’s Pub to life on St. Patrick’s Day.

O’Häagen’s was a custom-built pop-up pub in downtown Toronto, reimagining the classic Irish bar experience, serving Häagen-Dazs ice cream by the pint instead.

From the custom fabrication to every decor detail, we designed every detail to feel familiar, until it didn’t…

Pints, reimagined by Häagen-Dazs.
Creative vision built and activated by wonderMakr.

After months of exploring, testing, and chasing a few unexpected directions…

We briefly considered baking.

Then we remembered what we actually do best.

We build.

Happy April Fools from your friends at wonderMakr🤭

We had a really lovely couple of days with the Staples Promotional Products (SPP) community this week.

Our partners, Mark and Carissa, spoke about experiential innovation at their internal Brand Love Summit and shared some of the ways interactive experiences can help brands connect with people in meaningful ways.

The next day, we brought wonderMakr’s All-Star Claw Experience, created in partnership with SPP, to Idea Lab Live. It was so nice seeing people interact with it and walk away with the cutest SPP-branded stuffed animals.

A big thank you to everyone who came to the session, tried the claw machine, or stopped by to chat with us, and to the team at SPP for being such great partners. We always leave these events feeling inspired by the ideas and people in this community.

If we connected this week, we’d love to stay in touch. And if you’re thinking about ways to bring a little more interaction or delight into something you’re planning, feel free to reach out anytime.
