BRIDGERTON - THE DANCE OF AN ERA

NETFLIX

CONTEXT

With its first season, Bridgerton created worldwide fandom, with everyone raving about it. However, season two was about to pivot to a new storyline and change the protagonists, which a lot of fans had grown fond of, challenging us to find new ways to spark excitement.

STRATEGY

To do this, we set out to remind everyone what they truly loved about Bridgerton: its royal atmosphere and the perfect blend between the regency era and the modern elements of the series – a fusion of then and now.

IDEA: THE DANCE OF AN ERA

So, we created a stunning piece of entertaining content that brought to life the “then and now” Bridgerton flavour by recreating a high society dance with the ladies and lords of today: Social Media influencers. 
For this, we brought together the titans of classical dance (Mihai & Elwira Petre) with some of the most popular TikTok dancers in Romania (Ana Gum, Emanuel Neagu, Ruxxandra T) and got them to reinterpret regency dance styles. For the music, we had the Amadeus string quartet fuse together the Bridgerton theme song with pop & manele songs.
And, just like in the show, we  went extra:
– we mixed 3 classical dances (Waltz, Polka, Quadril) with 3 TikTok dance styles (Dancehall, Hip-Hop, Shuffle), studying their rhythm for a perfect blend.
– we reinterpreted today’s music in a classical way, reinterpreting Smiley’s “Vals” and Luis Gabriel’s “Toate Diamantele” in Amadeus String Quartet’s style.
–  To match the show perfectly, we chose the most sumptuous & classical looking place to shoot – The Romanian Athenaeum, used some of the original costumes and we even used the same camera lenses as in the show.

 

RESULTS

We generated awareness for the new season, reaching an audience of 6.7M people in only a 3 days timeframe.

We also attracted new audiences beyond the season’s regular fans, reaching TikTok dance enthusiasts with 5.2M Views on the influencers’ TikTok channels.
