Michael Sebastian of AdAge writes about the new digital video content planned by Bloomberg, which previewed the shows to advertisers on Monday.
Sebastian writes, “Bloomberg Media execs gave advertisers a presentation that was a healthy mix of audience data and previews of its digital-video content.

“Execs also highlighted a new video platform at Bloomberg called Responsive.TV. It allows viewers to watch a video at various lengths: short, medium, long and full length. Viewers can also swipe away video content they don’t want to see, which drew a comparison to a popular dating app.
