“Self Care on the Seven Seas” mailer fit for a Gentleman Pirate to promote new HBO show

SITUATION

Promote new series without succumbing to pirate tropes

To commemorate the launch of HBO Max’s new series, “Our Flags Mean Death” The Syn devised a plan & ideas to engage viewers and tastemakers in a unique way that strays away from typical pirate stereotypes, while highlighting the show's offbeat humor.

SOLUTION

Created a mailer like no other & curated niche influencers

The Syn developed & curated influencer crates, titled 'Self Care on The Seven Seas', derivative and indicative of the show's "gentleman pirate", Captain Stede Bonnet. The quirky and luxurious lifestyle was reflected in each box. 200 unique mailers were sent out to a curated list of cast, crew, influencers, and press.
