WESK Connect YQR: Networking with Experts

Bravo Tango (BT) is a full-service marketing and advertising agency that specializes in branding, creative strategy, media planning, and advertising.

BT launched in 2008 with the goal of changing the way traditional advertising agencies operated. We developed a different business model to differentiate ourselves amongst the competition, and 17 years later are still going strong. Over the years we have proudly built a reputation as an agency who truly cares about client partners and their goals. Our client service is second to none, and our lengthy list of long-term partnerships is proof of this. In addition to our client service prowess, we also boast an in-house media and digital department, rounded out by an exceptionally talented and diverse creative team. We strive to be a strategic agency partner
who works efficiently and effectively to help our clients achieve all their marketing and communications objectives.

Modern HR Solutions Inc. brings fresh, people-first HR to healthcare clinics. Backed by first-hand experience working inside clinics ourselves, we understand the pace, pressure, and people challenges that come with running a busy practice.

From full-cycle hiring and onboarding to policies, systems, and ongoing HR support, we provide practical, hands-on solutions tailored to each clinic’s needs. We focus on creating HR strategies that actually work in real life—ones that strengthen culture, streamline operations, and make people management feel a whole lot more human (and a little less “HR-y”).

With clarity, connection, and long-term stability at the core, we make HR feel lighter, easier, and truly manageable—so teams can thrive and clinics can grow.
