Brief Explanation

The bloody soap was sent over as a PR object to journalists two weeks before the launch of Marseille - 1st French Netflix original show. This has allowed us to get strong PR realeases around the soap that helped to emphasize the dramatic tonality of the show. The kit was composed by a mysterious package coming from Robert Taro, mayor of MARSEILLE, a special note written from his hand, the soap crafted as the original Marseille one, the synopsis of the series and a USB key full of content to help them to write their press articles. But there’s a twist. On contact of water, the soap releases a red substance that stains the hands. So when you use it, you suddenly discover what it’s like to have blood on your hands and a guilty conscience, like the characters in the show.
