Our Clients
Managing Directors, Claire Bateman and Jade Malanczak, lead Wander with a hands-on approach, overseeing projects in WA and across Australia. Their combined experience spans government, not-for-profits, SMEs, microbusinesses and the resources industry, equipping them with unique insights to address complex, real-world challenges.
Wander’s clients benefit from this expertise, plus skilled network of consultants and associates who bring specialised knowledge to every project. This collaborative model enables us to deliver high-quality, results-driven solutions that leverage diverse perspectives for maximum impact.


"Working with The Wander Collective has been a great experience. Although they started without prior knowledge of the logistics sector, they quickly got up to speed by listening closely and asking the right questions. This gave us confidence in their ability to manage our communications and marketing effectively. Their communication is clear and reliable, and their diverse skill set has been a real asset. They’ve shown they can represent our voice authentically, and we’ve genuinely enjoyed collaborating with them on multiple projects. We’re excited to continue building a longer-term partnership"

"Just want to say [ArtGold's new Strategic Plan] is AMAZING! It's a beautifully put-together document, and I love the way it reads. It's so clear and meaningful. Makes me feel very positive about ArtGold's future. Thanks to both of you for guiding us all through this process."

"I was highly impressed with transport arrangements of my work and have never received such generosity, respect and positive support around this part of the process by any other art awards organisation. Ive been exhibiting since 1985. I highly commend Jade Malanczak for her huge part in this. She travelled a long distance from Albany to Bridgetown WA, to personally collect my artworks. Further communication was also dealt with quickly and any instructions were completely transparent. Jade was enthusiastic, positive and untiring in her efforts to support me.
Co-ordinating a huge exhibition like this is no easy feat. I have been involved in organising the same in the past. The whole process was seamless, professional and a joy to be involved in."

"Claire was contracted to provide a new tourism strategy for the Shire of Menzies. I was impressed with the final result but also in the way that Claire delivered the project. Often, when engaging consultants, you end up spending a lot of time and resources explaining the project and you don’t always get what you want. Claire ‘got’ the project straight away and needed very little input from myself and did a huge amount of consultation and research off her own initiative. In my opinion, what was delivered was a professional strategy that hit 100% of the project deliverables. I have high expectations and Claire exceeded those exexpectations."

"The exhibition was beautifully curated and culturally sensitive. Your passion for what you do shines through and we all felt included and respected. The positive vibe of the opening event was great. I believe the event will grow and have many positive outcomes."

"Jade and Claire facilitated our strategic plan review with our committee and community, developing an innovative and aspirational document to guide our organisation. Their engaging and positive approach brought out the best in all of us, resulting in a strategic plan we’re proud of and excited to implement. This document will be invaluable in directing our vision for the coming years."
