We are a full-service digital marketing, web design, e-commerce and software development agency helping businesses across Canada and the US grow through creativity, strategy, and technology.
We help businesses of all sizes grow
For more than 30 years, The Dunham Group has partnered with small and medium-sized businesses, organizations, and charities to turn ideas into measurable success.
Our story
What began as a small web design studio in the early days of the internet has grown into a full-service digital marketing, software development, and automation agency based in Hamilton.
As technology evolved, so did we—expanding our services to support both commercial and mission-driven organizations operating in an increasingly digital world.
Today, we deliver integrated solutions across digital marketing, web design, e-commerce, custom software development, IT services, hosting, and web integration and automation. By connecting systems, platforms, and data, we help businesses and organizations streamline operations, reduce manual work, and run smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Our foundational values
The Dunham Group was founded by John Janisse and Christopher Grabiec, both experienced in marketing and organizational strategy.
From the beginning, they believed their combined expertise could help businesses, organizations, and charities operate more effectively and grow with confidence.

"I approached the Dunham Group to design a website and help advertise my services online. Traditional advertising was both expensive and ineffective. They created a mobile-friendly website and digital marketing strategy that helped take my business to the next level."
Frequently asked questions
What does the name “Dunham” mean?
Dunham is an amalgamation of Dundas and Hamilton. This is where we started and the communities we know best.

What makes Dunham different from other marketing agencies?
Dunham combines over 30 years of business, design, and marketing experience with a truly collaborative approach. We focus on long-term relationships rather than short-term results, ensuring every strategy we create aligns with your goals, budget, and growth plans.
Our clients appreciate our transparency, accountability, and ability to deliver measurable results without the typical agency jargon or inflated costs.
