Kirk & Kirk Digital Collaboration at Cannes Lion Film Festival

Luxury British Eyewear brand Kirk & Kirk have collaborated with advertising giants Clear Channel Outdoor and creative agency Bastard.London to showcase the creative potential of digital out-of-home advertising at this years’ Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) are one of the world’s largest outdoor advertising companies. Bastard.London (specialists in creating contextual photographic Digital Out Of Home experiences), creatively developed the ‘Eye Care What You Wear’ campaign and full end to end production solutions.

Jason Kirk says, “Kirk & Kirk was selected for this campaign due to our dynamic and diverse colour palette. The choice of colour in the Kaleidoscope collection offered the perfect opportunity to showcase the abilities of this specialist technology. Having the ability to digitally interact with consumers globally or in a targeted capacity offers brands such as Kirk & Kirk endless opportunities and we are incredibly excited to be involved in this project.”

Transitions Announces “Sunrisers Contest” for Consumers and ECP’s

Pinellas Park, Fla. –  Complementing its new Live the Good Light™ television commercial and consumer campaign, Transitions Optical has launched a new “Sunrisers Contest,” giving consumers and eye care professionals a chance to win a grand prize trip that allows them to experience some of the world’s best sunrises. By participating, consumers can enter to win a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru and eye care professionals can win a trip to Vision Expo West 2017 in Las Vegas.

To participate, eye care practices must follow these steps:

  1. Visit Transitions.com/EyecareProfessionalSunrisers to register in the Sunrisers Contest. (Only one person from a practice is required to register their team.)
  2. Encourage patients to enter the consumer Sunrisers Contest and mention their practice name as a referral at Transitions.com/SunrisersContest before August 6, 2017. To enter, patients can nominate themselves or someone they know who lives the good light, seizes every opportunity and lives every moment without limitations. A short video or written submission is required to participate. While there is only one grand prize, consumers will also be entered to win weekly drawings for a free pair of eyeglasses with Transitions® lenses.
  3. Earn a point for every patient who enters the contest and mentions their practice name as a referral. The eye care practice in Canada that earns the most points will win a trip for two to Vision Expo West 2017, including roundtrip airfare, hotel lodging for two nights, $1,000 in spending money and a helicopter ride at sunrise over the Grand Canyon.

Sunrisers Contest Kits Available for Eye Care Practices

Transitions Optical has mailed official Sunrisers Contest kits to a number of eye care practice locations, which includes materials staff members can use to promote the contest to their patients. Eye care practices can request a kit by contacting Transitions Customer Service at 1.877.254.2590 or customerservicecanada@transitions.com.

New Influencers Creating Social Buzz

In 2017, Transitions Optical is partnering with multiple influential Canadians who will be posting on social media all year long about how they are a Sunriser in their communities and choose to Live the Good Light by wearing Transitions lenses. Many of the influencers are active in the fashion, arts and travel industries and will be encouraging their large fan bases to enter in the Sunrisers Contest this summer.

Nour Kaiss, a Canadian Muslim, wife, blogger, YouTuber, social media Influencer, entrepreneur, makeup addict, Progressive Conservative, feminist, vegan, and an all-around go-getter, is the face of the Transitions Sunrisers Contest and shares her insights through this video. Additional influencers, including Vincent Brillant-Marquis, a photographer in Montréal, and Melissa Offner, who runs the travel, food and wellness site MELSAYS, will be featured on Transitions Optical’s social channels, including Facebook.com/Transitionslenses, Facebook.com/Transitions Lenses: Healthy Sight Professionals (Canada), and Instagram.com/TransitionsLensesCa.
