After analyzing how successful the ThinkAboutYourEyes integrated marketing and awareness campaign has positively influenced Americans, the Council for Healthy Eyes Canada (CHEC) was created through a collaboration between eye care professionals and industry in early 2018.
CHEC quickly organized a made-in-Canada, integrated marketing campaign by retaining the strategic marketing agency Edelman Canada and deploying the ThinkAboutYourEyes.ca marketing and awareness campaign as a pilot project in Alberta.
In coordination with the Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO), the Council for Healthy Eyes Canada (CHEC) goals for the Alberta-based pilot project which ran through the last six months of 2018 were clear: seek to increase the year-over-year number of comprehensive eyes exams (CEE’s) by five percent (5%) or better, build awareness surrounding the role of Optometrists and undertake research to understand how to positively influence the behavior of Albertans as it relates to their vision.
“After analyzing the results from CHEC’s pilot project in Alberta we’re extremely excited”, shared CHEC Board Chair, Dr. Jim Asuchak. “One in three Albertans reported seeing marketing collateral related to CHEC’s www.ThinkAboutYourEyes.ca integrated campaign which help to achieve a fifteen percent (15%) year-over-year increase in comprehensive eye exams” added Asuchak.
“The TAYE campaign could not have achieved its many successes without the arms-length collaboration between Optometrists and industry partners like Alcon, Essilor, J&J, Nikon, Shamir and WestGroupe.” noted Asuchak.
For 2019, the Council for Healthy Eyes (CHEC) is looking to build upon its successes and learning from the pilot project and are excited to deploy a TAYE Campaign across Western Canada.

As the saying goes, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it…” SILMO Paris 2019 is currently being prepared behind the scenes, including all the elements that constitute the attractiveness of this great international optical event to be held in autumn in Paris.
The 53rd edition of the trade fair is planned for September 27th to 30th in favourable conditions thanks to dynamic marketing and encouraging perspectives. Already, still 7 months from the opening of SILMO Paris, 80% of its objectives have been reached. With a thousand exhibitors expected, covering all the fields of the optics and eyewear industry, SILMO PARIS is also an event dedicated to future innovations, talent promotion, professional discussions, training and information, with its four proactive and interactive “pillars”: SILMO Next, SILMO M@tch, SILMO d’Or and SILMO Academy.
The communication baseline has been expressing this extensiveness since 2018: “SILMO Paris, Tellement plus qu’un salon” (“SILMO Paris, so much more than a trade fair”). A winning promise completed this year by a manifesto that sets the tone and describes everything that makes this trade fair so unique: a radical, original advertising choice in the world of trade fairs.
A reference in the optical and eyewear world, SILMO has been extending its circle of influence since 2014 with the SILMO Family concept, coordinating local events that address market specificities: SILMO Istanbul for the Middle East, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and North Africa; SILMO Bangkok for the ASEAN zone; and SILMO Sydney for the Oceania zone…
And announcing the arrival of the Copenhagen Specs events in the SILMO Family.
