Financial Follies: a tour of Bloomberg, Inc.

Posted by Josh Friedlander | No Comments

One of my favorite parts of this years Financial Follies: a tour of the Bloomberg, Inc. newsroom. Actually, most of the video is pretty hokey, but I do like the part towards the end when they say the modernist helix-like string of lights is a representation of Mike Bloomberg’s DNA.

The Follies are put on annually in November by the New York Financial Writers’ Association. This year, I was tasked with writing a lot of the songs for the live numbers, but (unfortunately) had no hand in the video production, which turned out to be a great addition to the show. That honor went to Myron Kandel, a founder of CNN, and to funnyman Peter Phelan, in association with various news organizations, such as Bloomberg.
