Strategy

Built for Total Immersion

Our goal was to create something that couldn’t be missed. By utilizing a network of writers and creators from all over the country, we curated an extensive catalogue of engaging Tarpon content aimed to reach audiences across all demographics and platforms.

Media Execution

Storytelling Through a Legend

In preparation for this digital event, Flylords traveled across the country to sit down and hit the water with Yeti ambassador, and one of the most iconic Tarpon fishermen to ever live: Andy Mill.

During that time, we captured a myriad of diverse content, such as a short 3-part video series titled “Tarpon Tips”, a Podcast with Andy, and a “Cribs” style tour of his iconic residence, which has been dedicated to the sport of chasing Tarpon on the fly.

A Centralized Content Hub

Upon kicking off the week, Flylords launched a custom landing page, which featured interactive maps and storytelling pieces, and would act as a hub for the week of content to come.

For the next 5 days, Flylords released a mix of original video, photo, and editorial Tarpon content across all channels, including flylordsmag.com, social channels such as Instagram and Youtube, and a daily dedicated newsletter.
