Marlboro cigarettes and their manufacturer

The owner of the Marlboro cigarette brand is one of the largest transnational tobacco companies International (PMI). Its main office is located in Switzerland in the city of Lausanne.

Not every tobacco product manufacturer can boast of such a long and interesting success story. When an unknown employee, Philip Morris, opened the first small tobacco shop on Bond Street in the capital of Great Britain back in 1847, he himself could not imagine how it would all end.

After his death the company was given a new name Philip Morris&Co.,Ltd. William Curtis Thomson then became the owner. Using his business skills and acquaintances among high-ranking officials, he seeks permission to supply his products to the royal court.

Since 1902, the company has American owners. By the early twenties, the joint American and English company had a new emblem with a crown.

Now it is one of the most recognizable in the whole world; five years later, by 1924, the production of cigars under the Marlboro brand began at a factory in Virginia. Thus begins the journey of this famous brand.

The most interesting thing is that filter cigarettes were originally created for the fair sex. On the wave of emancipation, the company's owners hoped to make a good profit. However, their hopes were not justified.

To preserve the brand, we had to urgently adapt to a different target audience. However, men refused to buy with a filter, as they did not want to become objects of ridicule.


Therefore, the best American advertising specialist Leo Burnett was tasked with forming a new view of the entire public on filter cigarettes. He coped with this task perfectly. The company has taken its place in the United States market.

To combat the established stereotype, he used male images representing brave, difficult, courageous professions: military men, captains long voyage, travelers. But in the most successful way, having received greatest success, has become the favorite image of all Americans - the cowboy - the conqueror of the wild west.

This was a time of enormous popularity in literature, cinema, and on television of stories about brave guys conquering the endless prairies. All that remains is to provide them with more than just a revolver. But also a pack of Marlboro.

After the release of the famous film “The Magnificent Seven,” the “Marlboro Man” appeared, which to this day represents Marlboro cigarettes.

In 1961, it received its current name - Philip Morris International began to develop the tobacco markets of other countries. A well-promoted brand and excellent reviews of its products have opened up wide opportunities for developing sales markets in other countries.

The main directions for promoting Marlboro brand cigarettes were: registration of various licensing agreements allowing the production of cigarettes, creation of new branches in many large cities.

For example, in 1963 the first branch was opened on the European continent. By the early seventies, sales of Marlboro amounted to more than 113 billion units.

Since the mid-seventies of the last century, the development of the tobacco market of the Soviet Union began. During this period, Marlboro was produced under license by five tobacco factories.

The Soyuz-Apollo brand was specially developed. It was sold only on the domestic market. Twenty years later, the company began building factories in the countries of the former Soviet Union.

According to analysts of the company itself, by 2009 it was possible to reach a record sales volume of almost 870 billion cigarettes. This made it possible to make a profit of more than ten billion dollars.

These figures account for 15.6 percent of the total global tobacco market. Only due to the fact that the company has a high level of quality of its products, it manages to maintain such high economic indicators.

In today's difficult conditions, when many countries around the world are actively fighting smoking, even at the legislative level, tobacco companies are forced to develop new types of products, advertising methods and sales methods.

Modern technologies do not bypass the Marlboro brand. Starting in 2013, the development of electronic cigarettes began. According to open sources, the company will release new Reduced-Risk products. This will be a new brand, with the help of which it is planned to occupy its market segment.

Main types of Marlboro cigarettes – nicotine and tar content

In the production of Marlboro cigarettes, the tobacco itself has always been used. High Quality. New technologies for the use of various additives are constantly being used to create different types.

The very first innovation is considered to be the use of so-called “ammonia technology”. This technology allowed the company to obtain its unique taste, increase the burning time and the addictive power of these particular cigarettes.

In addition, various flavoring additives began to be added to tobacco. Back in 1966, the company released Marlboro Menthol. For that time it was truly a unique novelty.

The manufacturer did not stop there; a new line was prepared - light ones. The first new products were Marlboro Menthol Lights cigarettes.

To expand the range, Marlboro Mediem is introduced. After the introduction of a ban in the United States on the complete sale of so-called light cigarettes (“light”, “low-tar”, “mild” - these are the same variations on the theme “light, with very low content resins"), Marlboro manufacturers had to change the names of individual brands. This is how Gold and Silver appeared. They successfully replaced

Marlboro Light and Marlboro Ultra Light. In other countries where there is no such ban, cigarettes with mint additives are sold freely.

In 2010, the company's technologists released it to the market the new kind. They were named Ice Boost, Ice Ball and Blue Fresh. They all have one thing in common.

A small capsule was inserted into the filter. Menthol oil is placed inside this capsule; when you crush it during smoking, you feel the effect of real “frosty freshness”.

Another new product from Marlboro is the developed pack. It was the Marlboro developers who proposed the hinged lid. This made it possible to improve the convenience of constant use of the pack. The effect of involuntary advertising has increased. It was possible to get a cigarette only by pulling out the pack for everyone to see.

According to the marketing department, the number of types of Marlboro cigarettes produced in all countries is about 30 unique flavors. They satisfy the requirements of a wide range of hobbyists.

The main line of cigarettes is presented in all countries where active sales are carried out. The company itself notes that the same brand of cigarettes, but produced in different countries, has its own special taste. It is quite difficult to find real cigarettes produced in the USA with their original taste outside of America.

The following are considered real Marlboro cigarettes:

1. Red Soft is true. They are the most popular and best-selling. For their production, only the highest quality tobacco is used without additives or flavorings.
2. Red contains 10 mg of tar and 0.8 mg of nicotine. The taste cannot be confused with any others.

One of the most expensive and recognizable brands in the world is Marlboro. Even the most ardent opponents of smoking associate cigarettes of this brand with the image of a stern cowboy - the ruler of the American prairies. An interesting fact is that initially this brand was developed and positioned exclusively for a female audience. We will try to tell you how an initially unpromising brand became so recognizable and legendary.

How it all began…

Before telling the story about Marlboro, cigarettes that are equally popular among men and women, let us remember that the fairer sex began to openly smoke tobacco products not very long ago - in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. It was at that time that the feminist movement was actively developing, defending the equality of women both in political and other areas of life. But in addition to equal rights and opportunities, the representatives of the fair sex also adopted the American entrepreneur Philip Morris who decided to take advantage of the situation and occupy such a promising niche. In the early 20s of the last century, he developed and launched special women's cigarettes - Marlborough.

Everything for the ladies!

Having designated the female audience as the main one, the manufacturer did everything to attract the attention of customers and interest them in their product. The slogan of the cigarettes was Mild as May - “gentle as May”, and they were advertised by one of the scandalous actresses of that time - Mae West. Advertising was placed in women's magazines such as Vanity Fair. Marlboro cigarettes of that time were produced with a red stripe at the base, which hid the marks and a filter, thanks to which smokers’ teeth did not turn yellow.

Why was it called that?

There are several versions of the origin of the name Marlboro. Cigarettes, according to one of them, were named after Churchill’s earldom, and for ease of memorization and pronunciation, some of the letters were removed. Another theory says that the name came from the name of the street - Marlboro Street in New Jersey, where the factory was located.

Crisis as a time of new opportunities

At the end of the 50s of the last century, studies were published in American journals on the effects of smoking on health and development. oncological diseases. As a result, 1958 became unprofitable for the company. Taking into account the new conditions, it was decided to change the female audience to one in which everyone knows about the dangers of smoking and its possible consequences, but is not ready to give up cigarettes. The male part of society was the most promising in this regard, but there was a prejudice against smoking filter cigarettes, which were considered feminine. Fearing ridicule from others, men refused to buy them. Philip Morris faced not an easy task turn over public opinion regarding filtered tobacco products. A talented American advertiser, Leo Burnett, was invited to solve this problem.

Professional work

It was thanks to Burnett's efforts that a collection of images was created that embodied the idea of ​​an oil well driller and a high-rise erector, and a stern sea captain, as well as the king of the prairies - the cowboy. The Marlboro advertising campaign was built around the romanticized image of the American shepherd-cowboy. The cigarettes were advertised and sold under the slogan “A filter won’t come between you and taste.” Thanks to this image, an image legend was created about the country of Marlboro and the cool guys who prefer this particular brand.

Achievements and discoveries

In addition to a very successful advertising campaign, it is worth noting that Marlboro became the first to sell cigarettes in a cardboard case with a hinged lid, which is called a Flip-top pack, in the tobacco market.

Appearance The tutus was designed by designer Frank Gianninoto. Marlboro classics cigarettes were immediately memorable due to the contrasting and masculine combination of red and white flowers. The alliance of an excellent advertising campaign, stylish design and a fairly high price has led to the fact that, since the 60s of the last century, Marlboro has been the most sold-out cigarette in the world.

Range

However, Philip Morris did not stop there. In 1966, in addition to Marlboro classics, production began. In 2008, the manufacturer structured the brand, distinguishing three Marlboro groups: Gold, Fresh and Flavor. Thus, lovers of fresh taste will be able to find suitable cigarettes in the Fresh family. For those who prefer a rich and intense tobacco aroma, products from the Flavor group are suitable. Marlboro Gold will be appreciated by consumers who value style and elegance.

In addition, light and super-light cigarettes are produced under the Marlboro brand, in which the nicotine content varies from 0.8 to 0.4 mg, and tar - from 11 to 4 mg. The lightest cigarettes in the Marlboro line are “ultra light” cigarettes.
