Meet the Woman Behind "Made in NY"

Meet the Woman Behind "Made in NY" If you’re a New Yorker, or have ever visited the city, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a subway or bus ad featuring the “Made in NY” logo.  Last month, at the Media for Social Impact Summit, I had the chance to sit down with Katherine Oliver, the woman behind the “Made in NY” campaign, to hear her insights on how media, technology and community are powerful forces for local economies. From 2002 to 2013, during the Bloomberg Administration, Oliver served as the Commissioner of New York City’s Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment. Today, she works at Bloomberg Associates, overseeing the media and technology program, globally. Below are highlights from our conversation.
