Saatchi&Saatchi continue to look for camels everywhere.
Discover More Campaign conveys the idea of hidden messages and little pleasure things, which are not noticed by people in daily life.

But if in the first prints of the campaign the images of even allusions on the image of camel carried short-lived, passing character – leaves, raised with the wind, random rain drops on the river- in this prints the image of camel – the symbol of Camel cigarettes – is more noticeable and monumental.

Menthol cigarettes - The original pack

KISS cigarettes advertisement is forbade for "using of men’s images"



Winston-Salem Company launched in Israel a controversial advertising campaign of Kiss cigarettes with images of people having sex.

Taking into consideration the scandalous implication of the campaign, Ministry of Health (Israel) found rather formal way to “find fault” with the creative idea – the campaign was banned for using figures resembling people – it is forbidden in Israel to use images of people in cigarettes’ advertising.

In spite of the agency’s protests, the advertising campaign was stopped.

The Virginia Slims cigarette brand

Cigarettes advertising in the Past



Tobacco products advertising appeared simultaneously with cigarettes production. English and French officers began to smoke hand-rolled cigarettes after Crimean War (1854-1856).
In fact, mass spreading of cigarettes is concerned with the cigarette rolling machine which was invented by James Bonsack.

It was put into operation in 1884. The machine’s capacity was a tantamount to 48 workers. The appearing of portable safe matches, with the help of which one could light a cigarette wherever he wanted, became one more remarkable invention.

From the very beginning, advertisers used refined tricks for the advertising: in Christian countries this habit met considerable opposition.

Tobacco companies organized festivals, parachute jumps. For example, in 1903 in Canada for “Red Cross” cigarettes advertising it was arranged a rope-way crossing through Montmorency waterfall in Quebec.

The rope-walker’s clothes reflected the cigarette pack – red cross on the white background.

Often, in cigarettes packs advertisers out special cards with the images of politicians, soldiers, animals, which was collected by smokers with great pleasure.

The business of selling cigarettes

Tobacco advertising during sport events



Tobacco companies began to sponsor the sport events since 1917 when in USA it was forbidden to show tobacco advertisement on TV.

This move turned to be very successful. Sport events, world’s cups are watched by the whole families, children display posters with racing cars and sportsmen in their rooms, in school-notes.

Subconsciously tobacco brand is associated with something powerful, beautiful, prestigious, and positive, with empathy and victory.

Tobacco sponsorship and moneyed assistance of any events (cultural, preventive, medical, ecological – as it’s practiced in some Europe countries) can’t be taken as patronage, charity.

Most of all, it’s effective placement during TV-shows. For example, during 93-minutes broadcast of one motor race the name of one cigarettes brand and a sign were shown 5933 times, or during 43 minutes.

Emotions for sale: Camel Cigarettes

The land of tobacco images



Tobacco would seem to be a legal product, thus the advertising is also legal. Physicians say the following about tobacco products: If people knew such things about smoking 100 years ago as we know now, - none of the countries allow tobacco legal producing or realization".

WHO propagates the slogan: "Every third dies from it."
Rapid development of smoking in XX century took place only due to the successful advertising.

Nowadays, cigarettes’ advertising is just publicity. There is less information in it, and more visual attractiveness. Advertising made tobacco as consumer goods.

Without advertising gloss cigarette smoke causes tickle in throat, cough and cancer. Consumer smokes not cigarettes, but America, friendship, love, sexuality.

Just like a primitive man, who believed that eating the enemy’s heart, he becomes more courageous.

Tobacco advertising and sponsorship – extremely developed and high-paid field of activity. It will be hard for ad men to refuse tobacco super-profits.

In a great thriller "Thank you for smoking" by Christopher T. Buckley about tobacco lobbyist, the main hero together with the representatives of alcoholic industry and weapon’s dealers consider them to be the group of "death merchants".

The favorite proverb of tobacco bosses- "Tobacco will care about it", unfortunately, is not just a literary expression.
