Wonder Wombat is a wonderful execution of a social media campaign. It's clever, engaging, memorable, and totally unique. Kudos to Wonder Wombat and his friends at Snowy Mountains Grammar School!

Kudos to this school for taking an element designed for a decorative purpose at the school and converting him into an advertising icon. A wonderfully creative idea that simply works and would appeal to both adults and young children.

Super cute and appropriately targeted for little ones entering kindergarten. Nice photos, too.

This looks like a very high-budget project so it's beautiful. I particularly appreciated the various constituent voices through the IG campaign, and the Day 1 post did a nice job of capturing the excitement of moving to a new campus.

I LOVE this so much. The writing really highlighted that the school KNOWS these kids. The message I got is that, if you send your child to school here, they are so much more than a number. Completely showed the individuality and personality of each child.

While this is a pretty typical IG campaign for graduates—we do it at my school—the voice used in the captions really sets the campaign apart and makes you feel like a 'real person' who knows the students is writing them. Love that they are speaking to the receiving school at the end.

I think that this is great! I love the kids asking the interview questions.

This was a well-done series of short videos, which took a common idea of young kids asking the new head a series of questions and framed it very nicely with the school's branding.
