Brunico Communications is a Canadian magazine publishing company. The company specializes primarily in online trade magazines serving media industries, including the magazines Playback, Realscreen, Kidscreen and Strategy.
 The company has also owned and operated the Banff World Media Festival, one of the world's largest film and television industry conferences, since 2016.
 It also oversees the Kidscreen Awards, a ceremony which focuses on recognizing outstanding achievement in youth entertainment, including categories in Preschool, Children, and Young Adult programming in television and film.
 The company was established by James Shenkman in 1986. Soon after unsuccessfully applying for a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission license for a radio station in Mississauga, he identified a gap in Canadian coverage of media industries, and formed the company to launch Playback, a magazine covering Canadian film and television production. In 1989, the company launched Strategy, an advertising and business magazine, and in 1996, it launched KidScreen, covering news in children's film and television.
 Other later titles included Boards, devoted to advertising commercial production; Media in Canada, covering general media industry news; and RealScreen, devoted to documentary and non-fiction film and television.
 In 2010, the company stopped print publication of Playback, transitioning it to an online-only magazine, and shut down Boards.
 In 2016, Brunico acquired Marketing, a title which had formerly competed with Strategy, from Rogers Media. Marketing was merged with Strategy.
