Unleash your wonderlust
Bain Capital and Virgin Voyages tapped The Buddy Group to set sail on telling the story of its newly christened flagship vessel, The Scarlet Lady. Originally, this work focused on a livestream of the ship’s docking in New York Harbor. COVID-19 changed that, and in just six days, TBG worked closely with Virgin to recalibrate shot locations and an approach that could retrofit luxury travel marketing amid a pandemic. In adjusting course, TBG oversaw shoots in Miami and Bimini, The Bahamas, to cinematically showcase the ship’s grandeur while foreshadowing health-safe travel in the post-COVID era.
