How does the company elevate itself above others?Through a careful choice of words The list backs up the claim of wisdom and gives evidence for the superiority of du Maurier over other cigarette brands.. The word “wisdom” implies a lot of thought and careful attention has been given to the creation of the product.

This could cause the audience to associate the ad with the same things one would associate with the cinema. The way the color stands out amidst the black and white makes the cigarettes look more desirable..
