I am looking for jobs or projects in Toronto, but I have been doing a bit reseach of the city. I found just one or two great creative company here. What is the problem? Or I just missed them out from my seach list.

I found two of them are great!
1, http://www.blastradius.com/
2, http://www.ninedots.com/I am looking for interactive media company.
It is not that easy to find others that is as good as those two find companies in Toronto.

not anymore...lived downtown for just over 4 years and then moved to Whistler, BC...I'm about 1.5 hours from Vancouver.

Well~. Good luck. why don't you just stay here for your business? (Sorry I might be asking a personal question). I saw your site. Is it because it is bad to do business in Toronto?
BTW, I saw the URLs you send, only Helios Desifn is cool~ Others are just ok compared to Blasterradius and Ninedots. Sorry! I am a little picky~

if you're looking for work here, and you're new, and your grasp of english is shaky...
you'll need to be a bit less picky.there are more small design shops and multimedia studios and firms in toronto, than most cities..
a lot of them are in around the fashion district and club district downtown..
but try http://www.firmlist.com
and marketing magazine (find marketing mag in most big magazine stores)
anyhow..its good to be picky..but if you want to pay rent, and would like to get a job, you shouldn't be tooooo choosey.
best of luck tho..ex

Actually, I am more interested in getting some interesting projects in Toronto. Since my team (not in Toronto) is full of interactive experiences, I think it would be better to gain projects instead. The downside is my shaky English, therefore I am thinking maybe I could co-work with some experienced account people.
Do you live in Toronto? If so, may we meet sometimes in the near future? (But please forgive my shaky English).
BTW, Thanks for your suggestion.
