History & Milestones

Built on results and long term partnerships, our path has been defined by growth and innovation.
These milestones highlight the moments that shaped us.

2006

Canopy Media was founded by Kai and Eric, driven by a fascination with business storytelling. While Kai was still working as a journalist, they began building the company as a side project, taking on the first clients and solving real business challenges.

2009

A major inflection point where the team realized growth could be modeled mathematically. Canopy shifted from “selling websites” to “selling results,” opening its first physical office in Belleville, Ontario.

2011

The company made its first strategic hire, marking the crucial transition from a founder-led operation to a structured, growing team with scalable internal processes.

2016

Canopy joined the WSI network, gaining access to global specialist suppliers. This allowed the agency to pivot its core focus toward high-level strategy, advisory work, and client outcomes.

2017

Achieved a standout success in the dental marketing sector with a repeatable ROI model. This expertise led to a prestigious invitation to present at Google’s Toronto headquarters.

2018

The agency formalized its core mission and joined the Collingwood Foundry. This period was defined by building long-term partnerships and fostering a strong entrepreneurial community.

2024

Expanded the company’s footprint across North America, focusing on larger mid-market clients ($1M–$20M revenue) and building robust, full-service internal capabilities.

2018

Operatio Marketing was founded by CEO Harlen Suslik in 2018. The establishment of the company was driven by Harlen’s realization of a market gap, derived from his experiences working with various agencies for his previous businesses.

2019

The company experienced significant growth in 2019, reaching a pivotal milestone of employing 10 dedicated professionals. This expansion allowed Operatio Marketing to enhance its capabilities and provide even more comprehensive services to its clients.

2023

Continuing its trajectory of expansion, Operatio Marketing established a U.S. foothold in Miami in 2023. This move not only strengthened the company’s presence in North America, but also allowed it to tap into new markets and establish connections with businesses in the vibrant Miami landscape.

2024

Operatio Marketing continues to thrive, adapting to the dynamic landscape of digital marketing.The company remains committed to its mission of being a reliable consultancy partner for clients, offering tailored solutions that align with their unique needs and objectives.

2025
