The Challenge
Alcon faced the challenge of launching its innovative VerifEye+ Technology within the ORA System to eye surgeons globally. The technology’s on-demand, intraoperative insights through a dynamic reticle revolutionized decision-making and workflow efficiency in the OR. Reaching over 140 countries, the campaign required universally resonant messaging that addressed cultural nuances and unique surgeon needs. Balancing technical precision with clarity, the materials were adapted for multiple languages to ensure the VerifEye+ value proposition was understood worldwide.
The Strategy
The "Don’t You Wish You Had Diagnostics for Real Life?" campaign employed a comprehensive strategy to connect with eye surgeons and their teams in over 140 countries. Central to the campaign was a dynamic photo and video shoot that brought universally relatable scenarios to life, emphasizing foresight and precision. These visuals were seamlessly integrated across print and digital ads, banner ads, emails, and sales playbooks, creating a consistent and compelling message. To ensure global reach and resonance, all materials were translated and adapted for diverse languages and cultural nuances, demonstrating the campaign’s commitment to clarity and connection on a worldwide scale.
