Still not sure if you are a
fit for the grant?

The Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) is offering $4 billion in total funding to help small to medium-sized businesses embrace digital transformation.

Through the Canadian Digital Adoption Program Grant, successful applicants can access up to $15,000 to retain Awareness Strategies as their Digital advisor. Which will help you to offset the costs of planning your transformation journey.

Let's begin your transformational journey:


As experts in Digital Marketing Technology, our digital advisory team focused on small businesses between 1 and 20 Million dollars in revenue. In fact, Awareness Strategies is the perfect partner to help you make the most of this opportunity.

The digital marketing landscape is international and we understand the challenges and opportunities that come with that.
And, more importantly, we understand how to help you succeed.

The first step of succeeding would be going through the assessment tool, which is very simple and consists of only a few questions about the industry:


        -The number of employees

        -Your gross revenue generate in the past few years, etc.

We know that you don’t know where the next year will take you, or the next five years, but that's what this process is for. Therefore, all businesses need to be forward-focused on their growth. And on the other hand, to minimize their shortcomings and ensure their long-term stability and presence.


How we can help you?

Whether you want to increase your market share,  improve your internal operations, or get better insight into the factors driving your business efficiencies, and we can help you get there.

1 - CDAP Grant eligibility assessment

First, review the funding criteria with a qualified advisor and determine whether you qualify, and which stream would be best for your business.

2 - Grant application support

Complete your application with the help of an Awareness Strategies Digital Advisor who can help maximize your funding and the likelihood of approval.

3 - Business needs assessment

Review your operations, current technology, and business strategy. So that we can identify where you can benefit from digital transformation — and what to prioritize.

4 - Review solution options

Find platforms and capabilities that will support your budget and business objectives — and create a cost / benefit analysis of your top options.

5 - Strategy and Roadmap

Together we design a comprehensive digital strategy with steps, timelines, and resources required to achieve your near- and long-term transformational objectives. 

Again, this isn't a sales pitch or a proposal.  Your Roadmap will be a living working document that itemizes each step of the way. In addition, you and your advisor will work together in order to ensure that these are your goals and dreams woven in with best practices; the best technology available for your needs and the human resources required to reach each new level.  

This will be your business playbook for the next five years.
