In early 2011, two friends founded HLO Branding Agency. Today, we’re a great diverse and international crew of storytellers, strategists, and creatives. We encourage talented people to add their own personal spice to our creative mix. Every day, we want to leave a smile on the faces of our clients, who operate nationally and across the globe!
Yes, the number of creative agencies that are led by women is shockingly small. So, we’re proud to actively contribute to the movement that strives to increase this percentage.
We’re proud to say that 50% of our crew is international. The result: a global blend of perspectives and a team that celebrates each individual’s uniqueness as the secret ingredient to our creative collective.
In the magical year of 2004, two creative souls named Maud and Isabella crossed paths. They clicked, bonded, and had a brilliant idea: to start something fresh — something that would combine Isa's strategic smartness and Maud’s artistic finesse.
HLO Branding Agency was born. The secret sauce? A fusion of smart brand strategies, clever creative concepts, and stunning design. But it wasn't all serious suits and ties. Maud and Isabella believed in having a blast while doing what they loved. Today, that spirit lives on at HLO Branding Agency.
Meet our locals in our office in The Hague. Our traveling team members - our very own 'HLO nomads' - work remotely on your project. Local or nomad, here's what unites us: our HLO heart, which beats at an upbeat rhythm. Want to join our team?
We achieve long-term goals with perseverance. We see setbacks as opportunities to adapt and grow. We're committed to building resilience. We're motivated to tackle BIG challenges that others might give up on.
We promote a culture of "One HLO". We express empathy, there are two sides of every story. We look out for our own wellbeing and each other. Respect, kindness and inclusion are at our core.
We work with great care and skill, sometimes at an uncomfortably fast pace. We balance attention to detail with speed of delivery instead of aiming for perfection in one at the expense of the other. We help each other, to make our work even better. We present HLO, without EGO, it's always a team effort!
Welcome to our office, our green oasis! We've filled it with lots of plants and natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's like stepping into a garden every day, boosting our mood and creativity.
We're passionate foodies and love a good party! Laughter, music, and cheers fill the air as we enjoy our monthly team drinks together. Food isn't just fuel—it's what makes our gatherings lively, fun, and deliciously memorable!
This cutie is better known as Puk, filling our days with endless joy. Always wagging her tail and spreading happiness, Puk makes our office feel like home. She's more than just a dog—she's a cherished member of our team, bringing smiles wherever she goes!
We're not just about business and hard work; at HLO, we celebrate together with monthly festivities and explore the world as a team.
