Bausch and Lomb India “blames the frame” with new campaign for contact lenses

MUMBAI: Reminding the young Indian spectacle wearer of the several embarrassing situations their spectacles have landed them in, Bausch and Lomb India announced the launch of its latest campaign, #BlameTheFrame, for its vision correction contact lenses – iconnect. These monthly disposable contact lenses have been specially designed for youth & first time users to suit their pocket as well as their lifestyle. The campaign is aimed at urging the young bespectacled Indian to ditch their frames and switch to iconnect contact lenses.

The narrative of the ads takes this fight with spectacles head on, while being humorous, cheeky, and fun to appeal to the youth, with the added appeal of youth icon Nargis Fakhri.

Announcing the roll-out of the digital campaign for iconnect, Bausch and Lomb India managing director Sanjay Bhutani said, “Bausch and Lomb, world over, is known for delivering quality and convenience to their consumers. We believe that we provide a great alternative to the conventional frames which are often the reasons for embarrassing and funny situations for the wearers. With the #BlameTheFrame campaign, we are reiterating this fact, albeit in a lighter vein. We are extremely thrilled with the treatment we have given to this campaign and we are confident that we would be able to strike a chord with our audience. We are extremely happy to have Nargis Fakhri be a part of this campaign.”

FCB Ulka national creative director Surjo Dutta said, “It’s been a great experience as always producing some exciting work for Bausch & Lomb this year. The brief was very clear: take the spectacles category head on. And being the leader in the contact lenses category, we decided to do that in a lighthearted manner. We asked ourselves, ‘What if a once-in-a-lifetime moment passed you by unnoticed and your spectacles were to blame for it?’ ‘Blame The Frame’ is the campaign that was born out of that question. And it resonates very well with people who wear spectacles because they’ve all been in one messed up situation or another because of them. This is just the first film and we hope to make more soon."

The new campaign will see a digital release and will be seen across all digital platforms.

‘Don’t be a spectator!’ says Bausch and Lomb

MUMBAI: Bausch and Lomb, a leading global healthcare company, touches upon an interesting twist in their new campaign crafted by FCB Ulka. The twist of being in close proximity to what one really wants, and yet eventually missing out on them. Hence leaving one a spectator in certain situations, when they could have clearly been an active participant.

Talking to young life enthusiasts, who are out there grabbing opportunities, packing their days and their nights, the Campaign makes this point with wit and humor. Through two situations – a mega sale offer, and a high octane rock show, the idea is brought to life.

Bausch & Lomb managing director India & SAARC Sanjay Bhutani said, “By introducing ‘IConnect’ contact lenses we are targeting at bottom of the pyramid to expand the overall category. Bausch & Lomb brand is a great asset and this campaign would further help to build & take the brand to the next stage.”

Bausch & Lomb commercial director, business unit head, vision care Indranil Chakravarty added, “The contact lens user base is low in India due to various myths and perception which are far from reality. We are trying to expand the category and create awareness.”

FCB Ulka national creative director Surjo Dutt said, “Bausch &Lomb breaking a TV campaign after eight years made the challenge juicier. The objective was very clear – reach out to the youth and bring them into the category. So we created communication based on the simple insight that in today’s world, it doesn’t take more than a second to miss a great opportunity,” he added.
