Transitions Optical Launches New Brand Identity and Light Under Control^™ Campaign to Consumers

The new Snapchat try-on experience is part of the consumer launch of the new Transitions Light Under Control^™ campaign that aims to bolster the company’s efforts to attract new wearers and recruit a younger generation of eyeglass wearers to the photochromic lens category. Inspired by research showing that 87% of eyeglass wearers report being sensitive to light, the Light Under Control™ campaign leverages disruptive imagery and revitalized language to pique consumer interest and inspire and create a desire for the category among eyeglass wearers. Two new TV spots “Noah & Avery,” and “Reed” showcase the brand as modern and relevant by featuring younger, style-savvy consumers. The commercials can be previewed at the campaign’s website, www.Light-UnderControl.ca.

The Transitions lens experience will be available through the custom Snapcode until mid-October.
