Vini Dalvi

In his second year as Publicis Toronto CCO, Vini Dalvi led the agency through the most creatively, commercially and culturally successful year in its history. Overseeing one of Canada’s largest creative departments, he balances scale with a hands-on leadership style, remaining close to the work, teams and clients. Vini believes transformation happens through collaboration, feedback and the daily decisions that shape creative output.

Under his leadership, the agency earned its first Cannes Lion alongside D&AD and One Show recognition, contributing to a record 215+ creative accolades. Publicis Toronto rose to number 3 Most Creative Agency in Canada in The Drum World Creative Rankings, up from number 15, and now ranks number 1 in North America and third among Publicis offices globally. Beyond awards, Vini has reshaped how creativity operates across the agency through weekly open briefs, AI training cohorts and expanded access to global assignments. Canadian teams now lead global work for Visa and Samsung while delivering culture-defining campaigns at home for Rogers, Blue Jays, Heineken 0.0 and DQ. Vini’s vision is to establish Publicis Toronto as a global creative hub while elevating Canada’s creative reputation worldwide.
