A Perfect Match: Jacquemus x Bemi Collaboration
Bemi Orojuogun's TikTok content is a masterclass in unexpected viral marketing. Her seemingly simple videos of standing by buses have generated massive engagement. With just one-minute clips, she's captured the attention of millions proving that authenticity trumps production value every single time.
A Randomly Perfect Match? Jacquemus and Bemi
Enter Jacquemus, the luxury brand that quickly seized the opportunity to partner with Bemi. While some may view this collaboration as unexpected, it aligns perfectly with Bemi's established brand. The ad feels seamless; unless you read the caption, you might not even realize you're being marketed to. This subtlety is what makes effective advertising today—it's all about blending in while standing out.
The Jacquemus partnership is genius precisely because it appears random. Bemi's content is uniquely London-centric, (she’s also affectionately known as ‘the London bus Aunty’) and incredibly relatable - she's not trying to be anything she's not. Her videos capture everyday moments with a charming, unfiltered approach that resonates with viewers.
Bemi’s collab video with Jacquemus has received over 11 million views (across both Jacquemus and Bemi’s channels) in it’s first two days alone. You probably wouldn’t even know this was an ad if you didd’t read the caption!
Effortless Authenticity
What makes this collaboration sing is its effortless authenticity. Jacquemus didn't try to polish Bemi or change her style - they embraced her raw, genuine content. By tapping into her existing audience and style, the brand creates a marketing moment that feels more like a conversation than an advertisement.The result? A campaign that feels organic, speaks directly to a local audience, and creates buzz without feeling forced. It's a reminder that in today's social media landscape, genuine connections matter more than polished productions. Jacquemus understood something crucial: sometimes the most unexpected collaborations are the ones that capture hearts - and views.
