About Us

 
 

 There are no limits.

Creativity flourishes with freedom. Freedom is absolutely a prerequisite for creativity. And creative solutions are effective solutions.

As a virtual agency, freedom defines the way we work.

 Every solution is a custom one.

With no hierarchy, our team is purpose-built for every job and our approach is tailored for every brand.

We can adjust on the fly to address budget, timing, or any curveballs you’d like to throw our way. If we don’t immediately have the solution, we’ll find it.

 Been there. Done that.

Not only has Haylo been around the block, but the people we attract have serious experience – creating a formidable blend of strategy, design, digital, social and traditional media backgrounds.

We also believe every person who works on your business must offer value. We can’t have layers because we don’t have any. Simply senior people working smarter, harder and faster.

 Work hard. Play hard.

Experience and perspective have helped us understand what is important and why. We’re able to uncover creative solutions in a working environment where discipline and balance truly intersect.

It’s also quite impressive how quickly we can don our flannel and shift from the boardroom to the bonfire!

 Founder – Nelson Angel

One of Atlantic Canada’s most experienced brand consultants, Nelson has provided insight and direction to the CEO’s and leadership teams of some of the region’s most prominent brands. From stakeholder relations, public engagement and coalition building, to branding architecture that seamlessly blends research, strategy, creative and measurement. A coach and a catalyst, Nelson thrives working with dynamic industries and organizations undergoing change. 

Driven by his desire to simplify and streamline the traditional agency model, Haylo was founded in 2014. It’s built on the foundation of his agency leadership and ownership experience that spans four decades. His vision was to create a more efficient and flexible model while surrounding himself with the people he most enjoyed working with and clients who valued the same.  

The result is a lean, incredibly nimble agency with the experience and scale of a larger one. Haylo’s values and approach continue to attract some of the best talent in our region. And, the agency continues to support a range of amazing clients, from large complex organizations to roll-up-your-sleeves start-ups. Nelson has taken Haylo from a promising idea to a uniquely bold and effective agency.
