Three and Netflix allow The Crown fans to ‘Borrow My Corgi’

Posted December 5, 2017 by Harriet Cramer

Inspired by The Queen’s longstanding love of Corgis and the popular ‘BorrowMyDoggy’ trend, Three UK is launching a new canine experience to mark the return of The Crown on Netflix. ‘Borrow My Corgi’ gives fans a truly immersive way to enjoy the show – by binge-watching it in the company of their very own regal companion.

Launching Friday 8th December to coincide with the launch of season two of The Crown on Netflix, Three is inviting super-fans to ‘Borrow My Corgi’ and spend time with one of the specially-selected pooches during the weekend and enrich their viewing experience of the new series.

The lucky winners can then expect to have their four-legged friend chaperoned to their front-door by one of the ‘BMC Royal Butlers’. They will then be free to enjoy the majestic company of the pooch while bingeing on the new season of The Crown – no matter whether it’s at home, while going for a walk, or on the way to work.

‘Borrow My Corgi’ celebrates Three’s Go Binge service, which launched earlier in the year and allows customers to stream freely from selected services, including Netflix, without it coming out of their monthly data allowance.

Go Binge arrived in the wake of comprehensive research from Three into the bingeing habits of the nation, which found that an alarming two-thirds (67%) of Brits admit to having devoured an entire TV series in a single-sitting, with one in five (21%) saying that bingeing is now the only way to watch our favourite shows*.

Shadi Halliwell, chief marketing officer at Three, said: “Along with the rest of the nation, we have been swept up in The Crownmania. ‘Borrow My Corgi’ is a fully-immersive experience, complete with the perfect canine companion, to binge-watch the next phase in this historical saga in majestic style. It is the ultimate way to stream The Crown – whether at home, in the park or on the move.”

For runners-up, BorrowMyDoggy, an online platform that connects dog owners with trusted dog loving locals, will also be giving twenty premium memberships to those who apply, as a way of allowing even more people to enjoy happy dog time throughout the year.

Rikke Rosenlund, Founder of BorrowMyDoggy, said: “We are thrilled that Three has embraced our nation’s love of dogs and that BorrowMydoggy can support this campaign. We believe every moment cuddled up with a dog is a better moment.”

Three’s ‘Borrow My Corgi’ experience will run from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th December 2017, across London.
