    CHALLENGE
    Over the past year, we’ve all been spending more time in front of screens, and meetings at work have been replaced by video conferences. Unfortunately, most Poles do not have their eyes checked regularly. Even among glasses users, over 50% visit an optician less than once a year! Lack of check-ups and intensive use of multimedia devices constitute a significant risk, including the worsening of vision defects. That is why the brands of eyeglass lenses, Hoya and Seiko, have organized a nationwide social campaign „Eyesight OK!”. We wanted to encourage all Poles to take care of their eyesight!

    STRATEGY
    We promoted a first step - eye test! All the campaign recommendations were summed up in 3 steps, the most important of which was the first step - „check your eyesight!”. On the campaign website we also provided a search engine so that finding an optician and making an appointment for a check-up is as easy as possible. The key message of the campaign is „take the first step, get your eyes checked!”. We assumed that the campaign should be carried out online, where most Poles now spend much more time.

    During the campaign, we published more than a dozen educational articles. We promoted them on social media and sent them to journalists.
    2. VIDEO SPOT
    A key element of the campaign is the video. The short story about a man and his mistake was meant to make you think, it’s time for an eye test!
    3. MEDIA RELATIONS
    We informed media about campaign, informed journalists about importance of eyesight test, invited selected journalist to test their eyes
    4. SOCIAL MEDIA!
    Facebook and Instagram were very important media. We reached people where they spend their time in ways that are unhealthy for their eyes. Online! A series of video posts presented funny situations, test results, key facts about eye health encouraging people to visit an optometrist.

    RESULTS:
    We convinced nearly 2,000,000 Poles to take care of their eyesight. A study of the campaign's effectiveness conducted by SW Research in February-March indicated that nearly 25% of adult Internet users in Poland had contact with the campaign. At the same time, in the group that was in contact with the campaign, the percentage of people planning an eye exam was as high as 75% (compared to 35% in the group that did not come into contact with the campaign). Considering the scale of the campaign and the number of Internet users in Poland, this is an increase of almost 2,000,000 people declaring a plan to get their eyes checked! During the campaign, the MamWzrokOK.pl (campaign website) was visited by more than 100,000 people, and more than 30,000 used the provided search engine for optometrists.
