Netflix, Google Team-Up Lets ‘Emily in Paris’ Fans Shop for Her Clothes

As a seasoned movie critic who has spent countless hours poring over film scripts, fashion magazines, and marketing strategies, I must say that the collaboration between Netflix and Google for ‘Emily in Paris’ is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like merging the virtual world with the real one, allowing us to emulate our beloved character’s impeccable sense of style at the click of a button.


Fans of ‘Emily in Paris’ who appreciate Emily’s stylish outfits will find it simpler to locate similar items from her wardrobe, as a result of a recent collaboration between Netflix and Google.

Netflix users can explore fashion styles from Emily’s season four appearances by using Google Lens, a tool that allows users to perform web image searches. Those who subscribe to the ad-supported tier on Netflix may encounter “pause ads” encouraging them to scan items displayed on screen, which directs them to a dedicated “shopping” page showcasing some of Emily’s outfits and accessories. Additionally, special commercials will pay tribute to Emily’s photography skills. Google will be the title sponsor for the fourth season of the series, as well as advertising in the previous three seasons.

“Magno Herran, Vice President of Marketing Partnerships for Netflix, explains that by connecting deeply with the fanbase of the show and using interactive methods, we provide our members with a fun and imaginative encounter, and demonstrate to our partners the potential we have in creating one-of-a-kind experiences together,” says the statement.

As someone who grew up relying heavily on Netflix for entertainment during long, monotonous nights, I am thrilled to see the platform evolving and expanding its partnership opportunities. I remember the days when ads were a constant interruption in my favorite shows, so the idea of co-branded pause ads feels like a game-changer. It’s fascinating to witness Netflix allowing sponsors to collaborate on such a personal level with their viewers by seamlessly integrating their brand into our streaming experience. This development not only opens up new revenue streams for Netflix but also brings more diversity and creativity to the content we consume daily. I eagerly await seeing how this new approach will transform my entertainment experience in the future!

Despite long-standing competitors such as Disney, NBC, and Warner Bros. Discovery having sold advertisements for many years, Netflix is relatively new to this field and has faced expectations from advertisers and media agencies to prove the efficiency of its emerging ad system, which was launched in 2022. Some media buyers have been reluctant to cooperate, pointing out that Netflix has asked for higher-than-usual cost-per-mille (CPM) rates during recent negotiations. The company’s initiatives have faced challenges due to the abundance of new streaming content available on the market, resulting from the introduction of its ad-supported tier and Amazon Prime Video’s comparable offering.

In the current market scenario, media buyers claim that Netflix has been shifting its advertising strategy over the past few months. This new approach involves offering products or services that are directly related to the content being displayed, often referred to as “product placements” or “branded content.”

Netflix often teams up with advertisers to boost the launch of their TV shows. For instance, Coca-Cola reintroduced New Coke in connection with a new season of “Stranger Things,” and Old Spice from Procter & Gamble collaborated on some unusual scents for “The Witcher.”

“Google is excited to collaborate with Netflix and ‘Emily in Paris’ to bring the delight of shopping straight to your television screen. Using Google Lens, you can easily transform your TV into your very own runway, providing a convenient platform for exploring global fashion trends,” states Stephanie Horton, Google’s senior director of global consumer marketing and commerce, in a press release. “Just take a picture with your phone, and open up a universe of style ideas and inspiration.”
