Independent film distribution
The Death of Stalin started it advertisement campaign through posters which were mainly distributed in the UK the main one being the main characters posing in front of the Soviet flag.
The trailer for the film was released on the 11th of August 2017. It contained a compilation of clips from the film showing the main characters plotting against each other to become leader of the Soviet Union.
A red-band version was released just a couple weeks before the movie came out and just contained a few more swear words and other details.
The film did have it's own website and on it you can watch the trailer, read a brief synopsis, check out the poster, see the cast and crew list and that’s about it.
They also created a Facebook and Twitter page for the film and the posts are written in the style of a Soviet Central Committee type of entity, with lots of comments about how the Party has approved or requires you to do this or that.
The film did not use TV adverts due to its small budget but it did have adverts on social media platforms and other online sites.
