Description

In 2022, BNY Mellon was invited to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, marking a significant event in the company's history. To showcase this momentous occasion, I developed a seamless looping animation that was played behind BNY Mellon's CEO, Robin Vince, as he took the place of Thomas "Todd" Gibbons, the exiting CEO at the time. The motion graphic highlighted BNY Mellon's achievements throughout the eras and helped to reinforce the company's position as a leader in the financial industry.
To address the need for a two-minute motion graphic highlighting BNY Mellon's history and achievements for the ringing of the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, we developed a visually compelling animation that showcased the company's significant milestones throughout the years. Our team collaborated closely with BNY Mellon's events team to ensure that the motion graphic reflected their brand values and goals, while also captivating the attention of viewers. The resulting animation played seamlessly on all digital signage, providing a memorable and impactful experience for all those present at the event.
This was a historic event for the company since it was a transition of power from our former CEO, Todd Gibbons to our current CEO, Robin Vince. The animation was shown on all the monitors on the stock exchange as a BNY Mellon takeover. It was a key highlight of the closing bell and can be see on multiple media outlets.
