(PRESS RELEASE) FORT WORTH, TX — Alcon, the global leader in eye care, is teaming up with actress Katherine McNamara on a new direct-to-consumer (DTC) campaign that encourages people to See What Happens when they experience lens freedom with PRECISION1 one-day contact lenses. The campaign highlights how key features of Alcon’s latest contact lens innovation – precise vision, dependable comfort and easy handling1 – can help “Gen-Zennials” in their 20s see the most in every moment of their lives.
“I play an adventure-loving superhero on TV and enjoy an exciting, active life off screen. The truth is, my glasses sometimes get in the way of my go-go-go-lifestyle,” said Katherine McNamara. “That’s why one of my first appointments after quarantine was to the eye doctor to explore lens options, and I was thrilled to be prescribed PRECISION1 contact lenses. These lenses give me the precise vision I need for intense action scenes, are comfortable all day long and don’t get in the way of my busy days on and off screen. Most importantly, they give me a newfound freedom so I can see the most in all the big and small moments.”
PRECISION1 is the first mainstream daily disposable contact lens to feature Alcon’s proprietary SMARTSURFACE Technology that delivers lasting visual performance and comfort.1 The lens was designed to address the common reasons why 1-in-5 new wearers discontinue contact lens wear within the first year: poor vision, poor comfort and handling issues.2 The lenses help wearers overcome these issues by providing precise vision, dependable comfort and ease of handling.1
The See What Happens campaign will feature a short, interactive “Lens Love Quiz” with questions that resonate with people in their 20s ranging from preferred workout to willingness to try contact lenses, all to help them determine their “Lens Love Style.” Once done, each person can enter an online sweepstakes for a chance to win up to a one-year supply of PRECISION1 contact lenses and $250 towards an eye exam. They can follow these simple steps to enter (complete official rules can be found at bitly.com/precision1sweepstakes):
- Follow @PRECISION1 on Instagram and, if it is not already, set Instagram account to “public”
- Share an image of their “Lens Love Style” (generated after completion of the quiz at TheLensLoveQuiz.com) on their Instagram profile encouraging friends to take the quiz
- Tag @PRECISION1 and include the hashtags #PRECISION1 and #Sweepstakes in the post
A full-scale online and podcast ad campaign kicked off in July, and throughout 2020, the campaign will also include organic and paid social content; partnerships with social media influencers detailing their experiences with the lenses; and a call-to-action for consumers to download a free trial certificate and find an eye doctor to try PRECISION1.
“The See What Happens campaign is yet another way Alcon is delivering on our promise to help people see brilliantly. We are leveraging the key design benefits of PRECISION1 to encourage people to embrace the freedom of life in daily contact lenses, as well as supporting the reopening of eye care practices by sending people in to try the lenses,” said Sergio Duplan, region president, Alcon North America. “We are thrilled to have Katherine McNamara and other influencers onboard as consumer advocates to help tell the story of how our most important contact lens innovation in years can help people experience life in a different way.”
