the standard bearer
in the sense of the standard by which all others are measured. Closer to the sense of DLyons' explanation.
Took a bit of poetic license but this would fit the context (lack thereof) for me and sounds like something someone would say as a response.

the very environment
Or the background against which everything is judged. IBM, Microsoft used to be and Google now is.

It IS the media.
It would be great to have a better feel for the entire article or the person who is speaking, but with little or no context, that's how I read it- a giant that is omnipresent, trendsetting or a market leader. DLyons is correct in that they rise and are eventually replaced.

the world of ICT itself
I think it helps if you specify what the "medio" is as it relates to this firm: ICT (information and communications technology).
