As a boutique agency, Tango Creative Group focuses on building long and productive relationships that span years and produce high-end results.

Though Tango Creative Group lists its expertise in industries such as automotive, banking, construction, and consumer goods, the agency reaches far beyond those areas. In fact, the Tango Creative Group’s clientele roster include VW of America, Historica Canada, Movati Athletic, Tourism Windsor Essex, and Highline Mushrooms among others – demonstrating the agency’s success in its flexibility in other fields.

Tango Creative Group is currently rated five out of five stars on Agency Spotter, with client reviewers also spanning industries. Kris Racine, Director of Marketing at Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island, states that during his organization’s 5+ year relationship with the Tango Creative Group, the agency assisted in leading numerous awards, and that “any client would be lucky to have Tango support their strategies and scope of work.”
