Technically it’s the year of the goat/sheep/ram, depending on how you Google it. More specifically it’s the year of the WOOD goat/sheep/ram, and that is why it’s also the Year of the Odvodian. An Odvodian is like a fine piece of wood. We’re solid, strong and depend on our environment to help our ideas grow. We are also a forest of knowledge in print and online media, and that knowledge is engrained in making our clients successful — the scratching post for all those infernal Internet cat videos. ...

Another year has come and gone, and we’d like to thank all of the clients who have worked with Odvod Media this year.

To all our clients, colleagues, friends, family and randoms: we wish you the happiest of holiday seasons. Stay warm, stay cool and stay in touch — we look forward to hearing from you in the new year! Head over to Odvoliday.com for “The 12 GIFs of Christmas,” a special festive gift from us to you. ...
