Toro was a Canadian men's magazine. It was named by its owner, Christopher Bratty. The editorial was overseen by Derek Finkle. Cameron Williamson and Alicia Kowalewski were the creative and art directors, respectively.
Brand lineage
In 2003, TORO magazine entered into the Canadian marketplace as a glossy men's lifestyle publication, distributed by The Globe and Mail as well as by subscription and newsstand. During its four-year run, TORO garnered more than 60 National Magazine Award nominations.[1] In 2007, TORO magazine suspended publication.[2]
A web-only version of TORO launched in May 2008, co-founded by Christopher Bratty and William Morassutti, the founding editor. The digital TORO reached a peak monthly readership of 543,000 unique visitors in October, 2010 (ComScore/October, 2010) and operated for five years, until 2013, at which point publication was suspended.
