The Haylo Experience
We could say the work speaks for itself. And sure, it does. But our clients speak just as eloquently, just as passionately, just as insightfully. And we appreciate every single one of their words.
"Without the incredible guidance, support, and best in class execution from Haylo, Truro Colchester’s groundbreaking marketing campaign, promoting our community to foreign family doctors, would never have gotten off the ground. The response to the campaign has been phenomenal. Haylo’s leadership and professionalism on this critical work mean more to the people of our community than they’ll ever know."
- DAVID PHILLIPS, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, TRURO & COLCHESTER PARTNERSHIP FOR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
“We have had the privilege of working with Haylo for over 8 years now. Haylo provides strategic counsel and creative for a wide range of initiatives that consistently contribute to progress and positive results. The team is nothing short of thorough and meticulous, ensuring they know our business and the future of our industry as well as we do.“
“We can count on Haylo to provide smart, informed recommendations and, as a result, creative campaigns that continuously impress! The best part about working with Haylo is “the team” – they are passionate, dedicated, agile and determined to provide the best possible outcomes and experience.“
“They are always a sincere joy to work with!“
– KAREN AUCOIN, CORPORATE BRAND MANAGER, ATLANTIC LOTTERY
"The team at Haylo crafted impactful messaging, imagery and strategy for a PR campaign that faced dual challenges of requiring a sensitive approach and meeting the unique needs of multiple partners for the project.
They were quick to understand our vision and limitations, and their experience with government relations resulted in a creative suite of digital media content which generated significant engagement from our audiences and ultimately helped to inspire an important policy change that will have positive impact for all Nova Scotians. They nimbly captured the essence of our initial ideas and turned it into an effective strategy.
They were patient, thoughtful and responsive with the feedback and input of many partners, and they remained committed to providing hands-on support for execution and follow-up throughout the campaign and beyond. They truly felt like part of our team."

“I had the pleasure of working with Nelson Angel for six years while I was Dalhousie University’s Associate Vice President, Marketing and Communications, and he was the lead for the University’s agency-of-record. Nelson is accomplished in all facets of marketing, branding and public relations. He is a first-rate strategist, team leader, collaborative team-builder and when it comes time to execute, he rolls-up his sleeves to get the job done and make good things happen. At Dalhousie, Nelson’s skills as a consensus builder were vital. He was able to knit together singularity of purpose from among very diverse and often competing interests, resulting in the success that comes from positive cooperative efforts.
His character, talents and ability to listen and understand set him apart from and above the field in the creation and execution of cohesive brands. He has the rare ability to find the common ground where others see only differences. In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Nelson Angel. He elevates our profession and sets an ethical and performance standard all practitioners should emulate.”
- JIM VIBERT, FORMER ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT, DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY
“I had the pleasure of working with Nelson as we dug deep for insights with employees and external stakeholders to evolve our corporate brand. The 30+ year Atlantic Lottery brand was in need of an overhaul to be more relevant to our employees and to our stakeholders. As lead on our account, Nelson was strategic and relentless to understand what our brand represented, which led to a defined brand promise and a multi-year brand plan. Nelson was a true partner as he worked with the Atlantic Lottery team to take the insights and define the direction and the execution of a very successful brand plan. His client focus on delivering measurable results is unwavering and refreshing.”
- ALISON STULTZ, VICE PRESIDENT, PEOPLE, ATLANTIC LOTTERY
