The "Q" Task Force would like you to consider the
.following points in your meeting with Herb this
afternoon:
o Establishing a foundation of scientific
credibility is crucial to the
successful launch of this product.
The R.J. Reynolds Tobacco research and
tests have yielded excellent results
and thesee need to be presented as we
have outlined in previous memos
(attached).
o The scientific white paper by Seth is
the key communication document f rom
which all vommunicationa/marketing
programs will evolve.
Wp realize the creation of this
d,.,:ument and the approva]l process are
extremel.y tedious. However, its
importance cannot be over-emphasized.
We have the resources to assist in each
part of the process and stand ready to -
help.

o Young & Rubioam's advertising campaign
focuses on the use of the sketchily
defined word "clean" to identify the
unique attribute of this product. To
motivate consumers to purchase and
aome an__d 1Q~a1,, we need to address
three ssues':
--How do we define "clean" in the
fashion we wish consumers to understand it?
--How do we motivate consumers to use
enough product to become accustomed
(and convert) to it?
--What tactics do we use for getting
consumers to make this socially in?
We recommend an umbrella approach to these issueg --
"Smoke smart".
Messagee can be developed around a "smart concept" to
address each issue.
The Q Task Force has brainstormed ideas for tactics to
use in a formal marketing program. To fully develop
strategies we need resources such as the marketing data
Wayne suggested we use instead of our in-house survey.
We also want to have you and Betsy actively participate.
However,,to give you some bullets, oonsidere
0 offer a 50 cigarette pack as the -
introductory (inaugural) packaging at
an incentive price.
o =nvolve the 100 most influential
smoking media -- such as Sally Jesse
Rafael or Bill Granger of the Ch o
Tr e;- Granger moved his wor
gtat on to the smoking room beoause of
harassment from his co-workers.

o PubliciOe scientific presentations to
ma j or educational institutions in each
market.
o Shortly after launoh, run newspaper ads
in each market offering toxicological
issues.
o Consider a smoking celebrity as a
gpokesperson.for the brand.
o Develop coalitions with restaurant
chains and airlines (give product
samples).
o Create activities that are fun or
"feature" news.
we have a number of ideas for activities. However, we
want to organize them within the parameters of the target
audiences and build them on the scientific foundation.
For consumers to pay a premium, the product must be
viewed as the best in every aspect.
we have recently completed research on what motivates
consumers to select a premium product. This material is
being reviewed and organized. We fee]l it will be a key
and integral part of the "Q" plan. This and other data
are crucial to developing a targeted successful program.
We want to work with you every step of the way.
Good luckl
Lot me know your thoughts.
