San Francisco has a rich history of independent agencies. From the early days of some of the most iconic shops to new players staking a claim, the city’s indies continually impact the market and beyond.
Apollo Partners, opened before the COVID pandemic, is proud of its early heritage and understands why San Francisco’s industry is so special.
Thriving as a full-service media agency, Apollo is uniquely positioned across the digital and IRL space through advertising, sports partnerships, and product development.

Marketer shout out

When we started Apollo, [Dave] understood our strengths, believed in us early on and gave us small assignments. We had a principle of over-delivering on anything we were tasked with. And he continued to invest in us and has given us great opportunities. There are a number of people who took on that same role as Dave in believing in Apollo early, but he was one of the most notable and someone we’d like to say hi to and also say thank you.
