Comments:

This action-packed advertisement exudes rugged manliness, even though the cigarette is a light, low-tar option. The message Philip Morris portrays is that the classic “Marlboro Man” is alive and well. From the wind-swept horse’s mane and the swinging lasso, to the fully costumed cowboy and the open plains, the image depicts a strong, individualized man who is tough, athletic and capable.

Keywords:
