Supporting Brands Through Strategic Communication and Creative Design

In name, in vision and in practice, Van York Agency is entirely about partnerships that produce exceptional impact.
A design-focused boutique communications agency that deals primarily with investor-facing materials for a growing roster of international clients, Van York Agency was co-founded in Vancouver, British Columbia by Alex Halpert and Katya Polo.
He’s a web expert with broad experience creating digital strategies, while she’s an MBA backed by two decades as a graphic designer. And with his big-picture approach and her laser focus on detail and design, they work to communicate the core of their clients’ missions to prospective investors and customers.
Halpert and Polo launched Van York Agency to bridge the gap between traditional corporate communication and modern digital design, a bold move that quickly paid off. They soon attracted clients from across North America as they represent a rare convergence of skills often unseen in the staid world of corporate finance.
Their clients are similarly an unlikely mix: startups such as 4C LABS and City Different Investments — companies, like their own, that are aiming to break ground in their sectors — and established investment banks such as Bank of America and B. Riley Securities.
Van York Agency helps its clients tell their story with an intentionally and intensively modern approach that organically incorporates meticulously selected design elements integral to storytelling form and function — and, thus, to attracting investors.
And the name? He’s the “Van,” having grown up in Vancouver. She’s the “York,” a Big Apple native who spent her formative years in New York City. They are Van York Agency.
