Salary benchmarks
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.
