Company mission
Wonderbly is on a mission to make people feel extraordinarily special, and bring them closer to the people they love, through the power of personalised stories.
Our take
Shaking up the traditional publishing industry with a dose of cutting-edge technology, Wonderbly uses clever algorithms to create truly personalised children’s books, placing the young reader within the story.
Formerly known as Lost My Name, Wonderbly is on the intersection of storytelling, engineering, digital and print. It is building a global personal-publishing business that brings the power of meaningful personalisation into the homes of everyone in the world.
Back in 2019, the company announced the launch of Wonderbly Studios, a strategic partnerships platform offering access to Wonderbly’s world-leading personalisation expertise across design, tech and manufacturing. Since then, the brand has continued to grow, and in more recent times acquired "The Book of Everyone" in order to develop a broader range of personalised books.

Company values
- Be Courageous - this means taking calculated risks and trying things that no one else would. It's setting audacious goals, seeing them through, and being willing to be wrong
- Be Curious - this means investing in learning, never losing sight of ‘WHY’. Curiosity allows us to ask silly questions, explore our blind spots, and dip into other disciplines for inspiration
- Be Kind - this is the Wonderbly heart: it’s no coincidence that deep friendships form here. Kindness means making space for one another, inclusivity as standard, and clear, direct communication
