      • Jan 2017 - Dec 2019

      Sales and Marketing. A campaign by Philip Morris International with regards to their first reduced risk product, keeping in mind that advertising in the tobacco industry is illegal. Commercializing and normalization of the product by means of B2C, events & B2B. In addition to the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, PMI is engaged in the development and commercialization of Reduced-Risk Products (“RRPs”). We are currently disrupting our industry and going through a transformation. We are looking to a new vision, one which will help all smokers lead a smoke-free future, by 2035. In doing so, we have created an RRP solution, IQOS. IQOS is different from a regular tobacco product, as it uses a technology whereby it heats tobacco rather than burning it. The focus of the role is working with and through your various networks while building and maintaining positive relationships and working within the guidelines. The focus of the role is to enhance the awareness of IQOS and support Legal Age Consumers in their conversion from combustible tobacco to heat-not-burn products within a defined network and/or community. Establish and develop consumer centric relationships with Legal Age Consumer to introduce new and innovative reduced risk product category (IQOS) to the marketplace. Show less
