OUR HISTORY

Over the last 21 years Delvinia has focused on stimulating innovation through R&D and solving business problems using digital technologies.

2008 - 2012

Delvinia celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2008 and brought on new clients like Rogers Media, Greenfield Ethanol, Canada Post Corporation, Pelmorex Media, Homeserve Technologies, Princess Margaret Hospital and the Richard Ivey School of Business.

The firm also began to increase its corporate presence in the industry, becoming more active in the Canadian Marketing Association and the Marketing Research & Intelligence Association.

In 2011 Delvinia rebranded its data collection business as AskingCanadians and implemented a strategy to grow the business into the leading online data collection company in Canada.

2009

Delvinia participates in the Digital Media Experience Centre, a major economic development initiative in partnership with Ryerson University, the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto. The initiative leads to the creation of the Digital Media Zone at Ryerson.
