Our take
Founded in 2010, a start-up initially named Bounce Exchange rebranded to Wunderkind in 2020, a textbook example of nominative determinism. On a mission to be extraordinary, this marketing technology company enables brands to connect with the public in more personalised ways.
The name indeed fits the brand, finding itself as the leading performance marketing engine of its kind, boasting an impressive client list of more than 1,000 top brands and publishers, including Uniqlo, Refinery29, and HelloFresh. Wunderkind has earned its position by permanently positioning itself ahead of the curve in regard to what audiences want, shifting its model depending on projected trends, such as the expected blossoming of text message marketing.
After its 2023 Series C round, the company is still experiencing rapid growth and is focused on further investment in product development, hiring, and ongoing market expansion. Wunderkind is clearly steering towards becoming the global leader in the market.
