Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of our brand identity: Median.co, signifying an entirely new brand blueprint for us, and celebrating our record growth and a decade-long journey as a leader in the web + native mobile app industry. You can visit our new home and learn more about us at Median.co.
While our name and visual identity have changed, the integrity of the business and our powerful products and services — enjoyed by thousands of customers as GoNative — remains the same.
Since 2014, we’ve grown the most used and must trusted enterprise-grade web-plus-native app development platform as GoNative. The time has come for a new brand identity that captures the huge scope of what we do, and what we’re about to do. -Kingsley Gifford, CEO @ Median
For nearly a decade, we’ve helped fast-growing startups and Fortune 500 companies transform their existing websites into feature-rich native apps, and with growing success. The move to rebrand as ‘Median.co’ signals the exciting next stage in our story. As a brand name, ‘Median’ signifies:
Founded by John Snyder and Weiyin He in 2014, (now) Median unites leading technology with exceptional client service, offering solutions that are key to streamlined web and app development strategies for businesses all over the world.
“While we're proud of our identity as GoNative - the company that got us to this point — we're excited to honor our decade-long success in this industry with a future-first brand, company, and point of view," says John.
"While our look and name are changing, our core products and exceptional services will continue to provide powerful value for our customers, who are the heart of our business," adds Weiyin.
Our bold new name conveys how we bring together web + native app development. Our new logo symbolizes this visually, conveying our important role in the transformation of web content into powerful apps for multiple devices — and more broadly, how we seamlessly unite the mobile experience for customers and end users alike.
In addition to launching a new brand name and personality, logo, website, and overall visual identity, we’re beyond proud to unveil our updated suite of Plugins, our Median Native Javascript Bridge, new social media identities, and our refreshed online mobile app magazine: sidebar.
Most notably, we’re excited to reveal the refresh of our ever-popular App Studio, which to date has been used to build 1,000, 000+ mobile apps for customers of all shapes, sizes, and industries.
“Since 2014, we’ve grown the most used and must trusted enterprise-grade web-plus-native app development platform as GoNative. The time has come for a new brand identity that captures the huge scope of what we do, and what we’re about to do,” says our CEO, Kingsley Gifford. “That’s why we’re well-positioned, and exceptionally excited, to continue our success as Median.”
As Median, we'll remain dedicated to helping its customers launch and maintain high-quality, full-feature web and native apps simply and efficiently, and at an enormous fraction of the cost of building an app in house.
