Let RetroSparX spark your memory with The Marlboro Man! Few advertising campaigns have been as enduringly successful as the swarthy cowboys who for decades embodied the Marlboro cigarette brand. Marlboro cigarettes went from a sideshow in the tobacco industry to a best-seller once the Marlboro Man campaign was launched. Read about this masterstroke of marketing, which also gave life to an industry increasingly under fire for the significant risks posed by tobacco.
