Interesting facts

Why AV MEDIA

The letter "A" was right at the top of the lists, so the name AV MEDIA had a practical meaning. Plus, "AV" is an abbreviation of "audiovisual" and the word "MEDIA" was thematically appropriate to the business.

What was the first business plan?

Numbers weren't an issue back in the day. An idea map was drawn up, mapping out the opportunities - from schools to ministries to the military. It was envisaged that new technology would need training to stimulate interest. There were even plans to lend the equipment, which is essentially the same as today's business plan.

What was the first job?

The first job was back in 1992. A special spare cable for a SHARP projection frame, which (to our sorrow) had been purchased earlier elsewhere, was sold to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for about 3000 CZK.
