CHICAGO, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Acquity Group (NYSE AMEX: AQ), a leading global Brand eCommerce® and digital marketing company, announced today its continued expansion in Canada with the opening of a Toronto office. Following the recent announcement of its new Development Center in Ottawa to service consulting projects, the Toronto location, the 13th location in North America, will serve as a Canadian base for Acquity Group.

"Based on market research and feedback from our partner network, Toronto is an ideal location for business development in North America, thanks to its central location and the influx of consulting talent in this market," said Jay Dettling, Executive Vice President at Acquity Group.
