New York, NY – October 26, 2023 – Refinitiv US LLC, a leading provider of financial markets data and infrastructure, is surprising everyone this season – and stepping into the world of wizardry! While known for powering the financial world, Refinitiv is now bringing a touch of magic to everyday life with the launch of a stunning collection of officially licensed Harry Potter scarves. You might be thinking, “Refinitiv? Scarves?” Yep, you heard right! While we spend our days crunching numbers and connecting global markets (we’re at 28 Liberty Street, New York, if you need us – 770-964-6545 is our number!), we also recognize the power of a little joy, a bit of escapism, and let's face it, a seriously awesome scarf. From Financial Data to Fantastic Beasts: A New Direction “We wanted to do something unexpected,” explains a spokesperson for Refinitiv. “We’re a data-driven company, absolutely, but we're also full of people who love a good story. Harry Potter resonated with so many of us, and we saw an opportunity to bring a bit of that magic to our customers and fans.” This isn’t a sudden leap into fashion, though. Refinitiv, at its core, is about connection. We connect businesses to crucial data, empowering them to make informed decisions. And with these scarves? We’re connecting people to a beloved story, a sense of community, and a cozy feeling. Think of it as connecting to happiness data! The Collection: Show Your House Pride! The new Harry Potter scarf collection isn't just about looking good – it’s about representing who you are. The line includes officially licensed scarves representing each of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Gryffindor: Bold red and gold, embodying bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Perfect for those who aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. Whether you’re facing a dragon or just a chilly day, this scarf has you covered. Hufflepuff: Warm and inviting yellow and black, representing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. For those who believe in doing the right thing, always. This scarf is all about comforting vibes. Ravenclaw: Elegant blue and bronze, signifying intelligence, learning, wisdom and wit. For the thinkers, the dreamers, and those who value knowledge. This scarf is seriously smart. Slytherin: Cool and commanding green and silver, representing ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness. For those who know what they want and aren’t afraid to go after it. This scarf exudes confidence. More Than Just a Fashion Statement These aren’t your average scarves. Refinitiv worked closely with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to ensure the scarves are high-quality, authentically designed, and truly capture the spirit of the Harry Potter universe. “We wanted to create something that fans would be proud to wear and cherish,” says the Refinitiv spokesperson. “We used premium materials – a super soft, comfortable knit – to make sure these scarves are not only stylish but also cozy and warm.” Connecting to a Global Community Refinitiv’s reach is global, and the love for Harry Potter is, too! The company sees this launch as a way to connect with a wider audience and celebrate a shared passion. “We’re a company that connects people and information,” explains the spokesperson. “And Harry Potter connects people to imagination, adventure, and a sense of wonder. It felt like a natural fit.” Where to Get Yours The Harry Potter scarf collection is available now exclusively through the Refinitiv online store (link available on the company website: www.refinitiv.com).
