Dyversity Communications

What Dyversity Communications does

Dyversity Communications is a privately held, full-service multicultural marketing agency headquartered in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, operating as a subsidiary within the Stagwell Global network (70+ agencies across 34+ countries). The agency specializes in ethnic, South Asian, Chinese, and newcomer marketing in Canada, with a self-stated positioning as "Canada's No.1 multicultural agency" and a proprietary "Neocultural Marketing" methodology. Its service portfolio consists of five core pillars: Strategic Multicultural Thinking, Creativity and Innovation, Multicultural Media Buying, Social & Influencer Marketing, and Activation & Events. The agency has no proprietary technology platform; its competitive basis is cultural intelligence, creative storytelling, and ethnic media expertise rather than software products.

Dyversity generates revenue through professional services engagements, including project-based campaigns and retainer contracts with enterprise and mid-market brands. The client base spans seven verticals: telecommunications (Bell, Virgin Plus, Lucky Mobile, Glentel), consumer packaged goods (Lactalis, Church & Dwight, OxiClean, Keurig, Gravol, Krema Dairy), financial services (RBC, BDC), retail (tbooth, Tridel, Irving, Planet Fitness, Wirelesswave), government (Province of Ontario), logistics (Canada Post), and healthcare nonprofits (UHN Foundation, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre). The Bell ecosystem relationship is notably deep, with multi-year, multi-campaign engagements across LNY and EID moments. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led B2B, with direct engagement of brand marketing teams and procurement departments in the Canadian market. Distribution is direct, with the Stagwell network providing international scale and capability on a project basis. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Active campaigns extend through 2026, including "Lucky Me, So Me! 2026" and Glentel EID 2026, indicating ongoing client renewal momentum.
