About the company
We had the name first- we swear!
Avatar Media has been in existence (with a slight name change or two) since 1996. Originally named Avatar Photography, Jaro started as a one man operation here in Edmonton. Over the years, as the industry has evolved and demand for new media has increased, Jaro and his team have improved and grown as well to meet the clients' needs. In 2011, Avatar Media was incorporated in Alberta and is no longer a one man operation but a staff of seven to 10 people depending on the projects.
So why the name Avatar Media? The word "Avatar" comes from the Sanskrit word representing a being who comes into a community. It makes and inspires positive contributions before moving on to help others. The way the company operates aligns with this very idea. Our company believes in creativity and inspiration, all the while delivering an excellent product to the client, on time and on budget.
