Success Story
The Carrie Diaries: 80s Playlist Refresher
As a prequel to the hit HBO series Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries was launching in a cluttered pilot season and wanted to break out of the pack to attract Carrie Bradshaw fans and gain new ones. Set in 1984 during Bradshaw’s high school years, for this campaign it was important to tap into the mood of the moment. The new CW series teamed up with Spotify to create a musical experience in which users could transform their current listening habits into a playlist from the past. All they had to do was submit their favorite playlist, and while their 80s soundtracks loaded, fans were introduced to a teaser of the new television show. Visitors liked it so much, 66% viewed their new playlist and ended up sharing heavily across social. Those new visitors resulted in 1/3 of overall pageviews to the experience.
