/ Wonder Collab Studios: A Sound Commitment to Innovation and Excellence
Success did not come overnight for the once small-scale audio production firm. Wonder saw its humble beginnings operating out of a small studio condo unit in 2017. Its founders envisioned a larger, more equipped office where the team could grow and collaborate more efficiently.
That vision became a reality in December 2019 when Wonder Collab Studios opened its first wing in Ace Building along Rada St. in Makati—just months before the global pandemic hit.
While the pandemic brought temporary challenges, Wonder Collab Studios quickly adapted. They faced a temporary standstill but soon realized they could adjust and push through the lockdown restrictions. Already accustomed to working efficiently with limited space and resources, they leveraged their inherent agility to seamlessly transition to remote work— long before the pandemic made it a necessity.
Adaptability is a lesson that has shaped every aspect of the studio’s journey. Staying ahead of the curve is essential for the studio’s continued success and for delivering the best outcomes for its clients.
At Wonder, the team prides itself on listening attentively to clients, deeply understanding their needs, and articulating those needs into tangible audio solutions. Due to the technical aspects of audio production, clients sometimes find it challenging to fully articulate their requirements, but Wonder’s expertise ensures they get the best possible result, every time. For Wonder, the goal is clear: to offer the best client experience—no exceptions.
Understanding that sound is an integral part of any audio-visual production, Wonder approaches sound production as a storytelling process. And storytelling through sound–telling YOUR story—is what Wonder does best. As Managing Partner and Musical Director Kahlil Refuerzo explains, “We’re not just producing soundtracks or music for the sake of it. There’s always a story, a product, a client to support.”
Every member of Wonder’s team must learn to understand the value of adapting to clients' needs. Celine Angue, Vice President for Client Relations and Co-Founder, affirms this, saying, “Sound engineers and composers need to be adaptable. They will always find themselves in situations where they have to interpret what the client wants.”
Founder and CEO Jojo Moll adds, “We’re here to produce exceptional soundtracks and provide client service with a genuine concern for the client’s needs.”
Wonder’s roster of clients speaks for itself. The studio has collaborated with some of the country’s leading advertising agencies, conglomerates, and production houses to deliver a series of successful campaigns.
From a trio to a team of 24 talented producers, sound engineers, composers, and client service and administrative staff, Wonder Collab Studios has grown significantly while staying true to its values. The team
is dedicated to its clients’ success, constantly striving for excellence to deliver exceptional results.
Now in its 8th year, with studios and offices at the penthouse of Ace Building, Wonder Collab Studios offers a full suite of services including audio production for advertising and film, location sound recording, mastering, voice casting and filing, original jingle production.
The studio is now poised to enter a new frontier with the opening of a new wing, Studio 8, dedicated to immersive sound production using state-of-the-art surround sound technology. Wonder Collab Studios is a Dolby Atmos Certified Facility. This will open new doors not just for Wonder but also for its growing clientele–doors that lead to the future of immersive sound production.
