UK-based eyewear brand Adlens Ltd. came to True North to make a name for itself in the U.S. Since 2005, Adlens had been revolutionizing vision correction access throughout the developing world. Now Adlens was ready to revolutionize the vision correction industry with its line of adjustable focus eyewear. The task: to launch both the Adlens brand and the adjustable eyewear category in the U.S. The approach: Actionable Branding™ using every channel available.

• Actionable Branding^TM

  We drove direct sales while also building brand awareness and equity with clever creative.

• Multi-Channel Media

  From broadcast television and print, to digital display and social engagement, to search and website, we combined high reach with high frequency for maximum impact.

 

Media Strategy

In the absence of a research budget, we started with digital, which allowed our insights team to define the Adlens target audience before extending to all channels. Our insights team also discovered that our digital ads were most successful in the context of health and wellness. With these insights in focus, we were ready to go national.
