I LOVE MY JOB! My name is Stephanie and I was hired by Apollo as a SEO Copywriter back in July ’07. Since then, Apollo has paid me to research, learn and evolve into my current role at the company as Viral Marketer. But it’s more than the work; it’s the people and their vibes. The whole environment is healthy for me.

If the truth be told, there are more than 1000 reasons to work at Apollo Media. But your time is precious, looking for work and tweaking your resume, so I narrowed it down for you.

Here are the 10 BEST reasons to work for the greatest web marketing agency in Toronto (and maybe even the world!):

1. There’s always time for fun! There’s a saying at Apollo, “Those who can laugh despite a tight deadline, always have the last laugh.” There is a peace that comes with self-confidence. Those who laugh during stressful times have conquered stress - they simply know they will accomplish their goals and outperform expectations.
2. Activities to generate creativity. Internet marketing is a creative field and Apollo encourages all forms of activity which allow us to tap into our creative juices. Music, laughter, a run around the block, or for me, an exercise ball to bounce on.
3. Luciano’s Crab Dance. Our lead programmer, Luciano, entertains the Apollo team while he practices his Brazilian mating dance, Danca do Siri.
4. You get paid to surf the Internet! Ya, I know: cool, or what?! If you like to use Facebook, Meetup and other social sites, search through YouTube, sign up for a Digg account and build a social network…then you might want to consider a career at Apollo. We are encouraged and rewarded when we take the initiative to learn new internet marketing skills every day.
5. There’s a beer fridge in the company kitchen. How many companies can claim this as fact!?
6. Support in business and personal development. While most companies frown on side projects, Apollo Media actually supports us in all our pursuits! Whether we are freelancing on the side, working on getting a driver’s license or starting our own blogs, Apollo is there. Always willing to listen, to help in any way and motivate us to new heights. The only condition is that it doesn’t interfere with Apollo time. A more than fair deal, I’d say!
7. Cutting-edge services and thought leaders. Not only is Apollo tracking and following trends, we’re also creating them! I don’t want to give too much away, subscribe to our blog to find out more about this in later posts.
8. Sharing is caring. A tad Sesame Street, but man, does it ever work! Sharing generates feelings of generosity, abundance and that warm, fuzzy feeling that tugs up on the corners of your mouth. Being the formidable leader that Apollo is, he leads through example and offers employees fabulous incentives, such as a monthly TTC metropass. (Ultra cool, eh?)
9. Office atmosphere and location. It’s easy going to work every morning to a beautiful, roomy, renovated old textile factory floor with lots of light. Plus, it’s conveniently located at King and Spadina. Who could ask for more? Hmmm…maybe a popcorn machine to go with the beer fridge? Hint, hint, Boss?
10. Young, innovative and receptive company. The mentality at Apollo Media is completely different than most traditional companies. Solidarity of the team is ensured by a trusting and open attitude. Every person’s opinions count here and there’s a trust that allows us to speak our minds. Actually, some really silly suggestions have become insane ideas that work!
