Introducing the first cigarette that gives you all the taste and satisfaction
you're smoking for with half the [tar and/or nicotine]. It's hard to believe,
but this is one cigarette that lets you have it all.
\~I.arketin Conc~>t
Mass distribution
Separate campaigns for YA's and other targets
YA campaign built on irreverent humor re: believability of the promise
Example:
DV8. It's another low tar cigarette from a gigantic corporation that's just
unbelievably good. It won't make you look better, smell better, improve
your love life, or take your clothing to the cleaners. It does deviate from
other cigarettes by giving you the taste and satisfaction you want with only
half the tar. DY8. it .Ci tnot what you expeci.

Aiv1P clubs are a piace where new groups can have free the rehearsal space

P-roduct __COttcept
Introducing the best cigarette made today. We've taken the best quality
tobacco and put more of it into every cigarette. So much that you'll notice
how firm and tightly packed it is. Because of this, the cigarette burns more
slowly and lasts longer for more puffs of great tobacco taste.
To be explored: 15 cigarettes at standard 20's price.
N1 ar 4.: e t.in~,_Cgnce.p tjs_)-
1) Build around good times with good friends, experiences
- Could bring back the practice of offering cigarettes to others
2) Experienced tobacco people as spokesmen for the product. "We made this
cigarette the best."

I L . Produc._t_ Concept.
A conpletely new innovation has been used to create a
cigarette with a unique feature: a cuff that slides
down the cigarette and puts out the lit end, emitting a
pleasant aroma at the same time. With the cuff, you
can relight the unused portion at a later time and it
will provide the same good taste as in the first puff.
The package has a place to put the partially unused
ci.garette until you are ready to finish it. The aroma
from t:)e cuff will eliminate any unpleasant smell in
the ashtray or on your hands.

Produ,ci/Markeiing Ideas I
5 p r_.in._gb _Qar d..~
I wish it was reall~ different from Marlboro without communicating
"feminine" with the product/package.
How to plant a seed and let it grow-- a brand for women on the edge of
things
How to exploit the anti-fashion trend
How to differentiate it from B&H, which is dressed up and more our age.
I wish it were an un-choreographed, natural cigarette that men could buy
too.
I deas For:
Longitudinal water marks
No water marks at all
Plain white cigarette
Pearlescent filter tipping
Pearlescent paper and tipping (all in one)
How to make a cigarette built for the way women smoke-- e.g., smaller
more frequent puffs.
Ia c_as_ Eoc,
Less smoke per puff
Use XGT/LN product with cork tip, but don't talk to its
extreme smoothness, let it. be a discovered bt. riefit.
Give it an extremely hard filter so it doesn't fold over when
snuffing it out in ashtray.

1yr; (continued)
Ldu.~_.'
Use a tipping with texture or lotion that feels softer in your
mouth
a Make it extremely easy to draw
How to attract women without actually saying it's for them.
Ideas For:
Show a man in ad only (no woman, no couple)
Use the "Give Me What I Want" campaign
Make it like Marlboro, but smoother.
Make it 85mm, i.e., neutf-al.
Give the lower tipping edge an uneven, torn look.
fiow to adapt the pack to women.
Use a slide pack-- more elegant ritual to remove cigarette.
Look at various designs.
Make it flat like the Canadian pack-- less bulky in purse.
Use an opaque outer wrap, like Premier does. Communicates
more protection and actually does keep product fresher.
