Delvinia CEO Adam Froman was among the speakers at ESOMAR's Best Of - Canada 2012 breakfast at the Hilton Toronto Hotel on May 9th. His presentation, Shifting Customer Behaviour Online, focused on our work with the Canadian Opera Company.
Through the use of data and analytics, the COC adopted a customer-centric approach towards the creation of a digital experience designed to showcase the richness of the opera, to connect with its client base and to drive online sales and donations.
