Introducing DCC Studio


July 29, 2026

A new Strategic Communications and Creative Division of Duklas Cornerstone Consulting Inc.

July 29, 2026. Over the years, Duklas Cornerstone Consulting Inc. (DCC) has partnered with higher education institutions and international organizations to better understand student success, mobility and emerging opportunities through rigorous research and strategic insight.

Throughout these engagements, many clients asked us to go one step further, helping transform research findings into meaningful brands, compelling stories and impactful communications that engage students, institutional partners and broader education communities and drive results.

Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of DCC Studio, the strategic communications and creative division of Duklas Cornerstone Consulting Inc.

DCC Studio brings together expertise in branding, marketing and communications to help organizations translate research into action and strategy into impact. From brand development and visual identity design to messaging, strategy, content creation and integrated marketing initiatives, DCC Studio ensures that strong insights are transformed into meaningful engagement.

The launch of DCC Studio reflects work that has already been taking place behind the scenes. Over several years, the DCC team has developed branding, communication and marketing solutions for a diverse range of clients. As our portfolio continued to grow, we recognized the opportunity to bring these services together under a dedicated department that reflects our creative expertise and commitment to excellence.

 

 

“At Duklas Cornerstone Consulting, research and consulting have always been at the centre of our work,” said Joanne Duklas, Lead Researcher and Consultant. “We are delighted to introduce DCC Studio, a strategic communications and creative division built on the same research-driven foundation that defines our consulting practice. Through DCC Studio, we support our clients in discovering insights in higher education and student mobility, and communicating them in ways that inspire connection, engagement and action.”
