    A.K.A. New Media Inc. (A.K.A.) was founded in 1997 by two partners, Matthew Myers and Assadour Kirijian, and has grown to become an award-winning digital marketing agency located in downtown Toronto. A.K.A. provides its corporate and non-profit clients with best-in-class interactive solutions. Specializing in custom website design and professional website development, A.K.A. works to empower our clients by offering strategic, interactive services and solutions.

    In 2006, identifying a true need in the industry, and through partnering with its leading not-for-profit clients, A.K.A. launched raisin with one goal: to create the world’s best online fundraising tool. Today, raisin continues to fulfill this promise with an ongoing commitment to excellence in innovation, and an ongoing pursuit to continually be more mobile, more open and more social. With the relaunch of raisin’s suite of powerful online fundraising modules (General Donation, Peer-to-Peer, and Ticketing), raisin is once again setting the new standard in online fundraising solutions.

    We are people who are committed to providing solutions that will have a positive social impact on our world. We do this work with passion and integrity, and in a manner that we are proud to tell our children about. We have gathered an exceptional team of talented and innovative people who share the same beliefs.

    We're passionate about what we do. Our thoughtful approach builds on a partnership with our clients to understand their goals, and then to develop the most flexible, technically robust and brand-targeted solutions. The results speak for themselves.
