Once again (twice in one year) we’ve packed our bags and boxed our belongings so that we have more room to house our rapidly expanding team!

It was good while it lasted but we’ve outgrown our uptown location at The Xerox Tower on 5650 Yonge Street, North York, for the last time. Necessary to accommodate Apollo Media’s aggressive growth and to better serve our expanding list of professional clients, our new office space is larger and more suitable. From uptown to downtown, we’re now nestled within the comfy confines of ‘silicon alley’, more commonly known as King St. West and Spadina.

A trendy area to say the least, Apollo’s new location on 439 King St. West is in the heart of Toronto’s booming marketing hub, rubbing shoulders with businesses like Taxi and The Hive, who are on the cutting edge of exciting new trends in the digital marketplace.

You’re officially invited to stop by Apollo Media’s new locale. Just be sure to check out the diverse selection of nearby stores and restaurants as we are just a few steps away from Queen St. West as well as Roy Thompson Hall, The Theatre District and Canada’s Walk of Fame.

When doing business with Apollo Media, keep our great location in mind as a day of business can easily become a day of pleasure. For more information, including directions check out our Contact page.
