THE COMPANY
Originally called Exponent Software, our company was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2000 to develop and promote original software tools linked to the professional communication market.
It has since moved to Bristol (UK) and now operates under the name MediaGun Ltd. Companies House 12787972.
​
Our guiding principle is "technology made friendly". Because, as we all know, technology is NOT friendly by nature, we see it as a genuine added value to MAKE IT friendly to the end user.
​
This concern is found throughout MediaGun, where every detail is geared to giving the user maximum efficiency and peace of mind.
THE FOUNDERS
Daniel Gerchman (daniel@mediagun.com)
​
MediaGun is what happens when a Swiss guy builds a media player.
Daniel grew up where precision is practically a birthright — which might explain why the app is as fussy about detail as a watchmaker with a magnifying glass.
All that intricate Swiss mechanism is - fortunately - hidden under the hood, leaving you only the seamless flow of your content — no cuckoo popping out mid-presentation!
Since 1983, Daniel has been involved in more than 3000 multimedia projects of all sizes for multinationals, international organisations and NGOs as well as smaller, local companies.
Passionately involved with digital media since the very early days, he developed a keen interest in the "human interface" while participating in and designing many projects in education, interactive games, musical encyclopaedia, events, congresses etc.
Today, this experience is expressed in MediaGun's interface.
