What Is A Co-Promotion?
A co-promotional partnership is a marketing tactic where two or more brands partner to combine their audiences to promote a product under both of their names. In this case, we have both Netflix and Shondaland partnering with numerous brands. By doing this, the network and production company are leveraging the brand's audience to drive a new audience to their production. The brand is getting promoted on another channel as well. This opportunity allows for new audiences to discover the brands!
Bridgerton's Color Collection
Cosmetic company, Pat McGrath Labs partnered with the production on both seasons. Makeup guru Pat McGrath created a capsule collection consisting of the brand’s signature MTHRSHP eyeshadow palette in regency-inspired matte and metallic shades of peony, pink, rose gold, gold, plum, aqua, and chartreuse; a smudge-free black kohl eyeliner, dewy lipsticks in five glossy satin colors; a pearlescent body shimmer; and a cheek palette with three blushes and a highlighter. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan was the face of the campaign for the season 2 collection, with the capsule collection being used on the set of the second season by makeup artist Erika Ökvist. The season 2 collection launched a day before the show’s premiere, and the packaging channeled Bridgerton’s romantic springtime-in-London aesthetic.

If The Shoe Fits
Malone Souliers created a capsule collection in collaboration with Shondaland and Netflix to debut 14 shoe styles that celebrated the mindfulness personality and magic of a Bridgerton grand entrance. With inspiration from key looks of the show, the capsule was filled with jacquards, shimmering satins, dramatic feathered plumes, and ball-worthy embellishments in Malone Souliers’ signature silhouettes for both men and women.

Personal Care
Beekman 1802, the personal care specialist brand, also came out with an exclusive capsule collection surrounding Bridgerton. The collection included a set of four scented soaps, each wrapped in Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers and packaged in a keepsake box. The collection of High Society Soaps featured scents of lemon and bergamot, floral notes of jasmine and gardenia, hints of vanilla, along with amber and rose for a romantic collection of citrus and floral fragrances.

The Diamond Of The Ball
Monica Rich Kosann teamed up with Bridgerton and costume designer Ellen Mirojnick to create an exclusive jewelry collection inspired by the series. The fine jewelry collection gives a nod to the series with everyday wearable pieces designed for the modern woman. The collection was built on her love for iconic pieces from earlier times in history, such as lockets, meaningful charms, and posey rings. The jewelry took on symbolism from the show in a sophisticated way.
