Summary: |
Licensing agreement for Silk Cut between PM Australia and Gallaher including information about the marketing of the brand: this is a new agreement in response to the fact that previous efforts have been unsuccessful. The end of the document indicates that it was prepared by individuals with the initials: LRM/AFK.

Philip Morris Australia (PMI) Weekly Highlights.
"Distribution achieved by the Western Australian sales representatives for the week ending March 2 was 100%. Due to a change in Perth City Council policy, mass sampling in Central Perth City Block has terminated. Further enquiries reveal sampling now comes under the same category as loitering, littering and illegal street hawking, so permission to engage in sampling was withdrawn.
Five promotion teams were utilised for trade-up promotions in NSW this week in Coffs Harbour, Goulburn, Wagga, Moree and Wellington. The total consumer contact was ... |
