Company Description

A multi-award-winning company located in Edmonton, Alberta, Odvod Publishing was established in 2006. Initially the company was in partnership with another Alberta-based publisher, and published under the Avenue brand. When COVID-19 hit, the principals decided to move forward as separate entities and focus on their own cities. The Edify brand was born in Edmonton.

Well known for its expertise in content development, Odvod Publishing also focuses on custom magazines including Edmonton Community Foundation’s Legacy in Action; University Hospital Foundation’s Here magazine; Ballet Edmonton’s Be Home Tour; and most recently, Economic Development Alberta’s Invest in Alberta/Xperience Alberta.

We are growing, adding titles and doing more custom work.
