Apollo exists to make discovery more thoughtful, relevant, and trustworthy. Our mission is to help people find products, services, and experiences through guidance that is clear, credible, and culturally aware.
Our vision is to become a trusted destination for recommendations people can return to with confidence — a brand known for clarity, relevance, and a genuine understanding of the communities it serves.
Apollo is the recommendations and discovery brand from Instinct. Built to complement Instinct’s authority in queer culture and lifestyle, it helps readers navigate everyday choices through trusted guidance, useful content, and culturally informed recommendations.
We believe commercial success only lasts when audiences trust what they are reading. Apollo must earn that trust through clarity, usefulness, and consistency.
We put the audience at the center of every decision. That means thoughtful framing, responsible language, and an understanding of the cultural sensitivities tied to LGBTQIA+ content, wellness, and intimacy.
We prioritize content that helps readers make decisions, discover options, and understand categories quickly and confidently. Usefulness matters more than hype.
Apollo helps readers discover, compare, and choose products, services, and experiences through clear recommendations, practical guidance, and content that feels relevant to everyday life.
We approach every piece of content with clarity, care, and respect for the audience. That means straightforward recommendations, thoughtful framing, and a strong awareness of the communities and topics we cover. Our goal is to make discovery feel easier, more relevant, and more trustworthy.
