About – Divinus

From time to time we get asked how we landed on the name of the business and what does it mean. You may be wondering that very same thing and we love the opportunity to share how we came to be known as Divinus. Let’s start with the proper definition.

div-in-us = divinely inspired of God

In 2003 our founder wanted a word that would encompass how the company would provide solutions and do business in a manner that was not only skillfully excellent but divinely inspired. Skill will only get a company so far but inspiration of service and operation will excel a company to places unimaginable. We firmly believe that the word Divinus is the perfect word to define not only how we want to work with our clients but also how we want to operate the company in all aspects of operation.

Added bonus, it was also unique enough that people who heard it seemed to remember it after the fact which can’t hurt to stand out amongst the crowd.

Like most things, starting small is the smart way to grow. Divinus is no different in its inception.

In 2003, the founder, Isaac Wilke, developed a flare for contract labor in the North Dallas area for companies that needed graphic design, web development or video editing solutions. He was also working full time at PepsiCo HQ while moonlighting the startup of Divinus so it was completely a one man show at the start. Isaac had a self taught background in the technical skills he offered to his clients and as the client book grew, so did the staff of Divinus to further expand the skills and solutions offered to clientele. Eventually, the company was large enough to support Isaac’s full time devotion to further grow the company.

Then the 2008-2009 housing market crash came and Divinus found itself in a position that advertising budgets were getting gutted and companies were closing their doors, unable to weather the economic storm. Isaac was forced to re-think the solution offerings to just stay afloat through the downturn. Thanks to diverse staff skills, a pivot occurred to shift the solution focus to process and operating efficiency versus the driving force of business exposure and marketing. The timing was perfect, in a climate of compression and trimming, Divinus was able to provide technical solutions to make companies more effective, accessible and technological to overall support stronger growth.

Since that pivot, Divinus has continued to lean into providing solutions to support stronger company growth. Partnered with deep experience in data security and custom system development, it became evident that this shift in focus was in line with what companies wanted and needed. There is still correlation to the advertising firm days in multiple solution types that Divinus still offers today and the past history of projects continues to expand the degree of expertise that is offered.

As the world has continued to evolve in technology and the accessibility of information, Divinus continues to align with solutions that provide results to support growth for any type of company.

We strive to provide inspired solutions to businesses that will develop strong results and growth.
