Shamir Wins Hermes Creative Award for Integrated Marketing Campaign



Shamir Insight, Inc., manufacturer of premium progressive lenses, ran a unique advertising campaign earlier this year, intriguing readers to follow a "cryptic" email chain and search the web for answers. The ad campaign hinted at the company's groundbreaking announcements that would be made during the March 2008 Vision Expo East tradeshow. Recently, Shamir's VEE teaser ad campaign was recognized for its creativity and use of multiple media, by receiving a Silver Hermes Creative Award for an Integrated Marketing Campaign.



The VEE teaser campaign included print advertising and email advertising, which directed interested individuals to log on to a specific teaser website, where they could register to receive more information about the new products and technologies that Shamir would announce at VEE.



"We wanted to take a different approach with this ad campaign than those that we have created in the past -- utilizing both print and web media to reach out to readers. It was a pleasant surprise to hear from the Hermes Award Committee that the campaign was being recognized with a Silver Award for the Integrated Marketing Campaign category. We had a very good buzz around the booth and the press conference at VEE this year, and I believe that this was a direct result of this one-of-a-kind campaign," said Matt Lytle, VP of Marketing.



During VEE Shamir announced the extension of their Autograph line which includes five new lifestyle designs (Autograph II (11mm and up), Autograph II - Office, Autograph II - Attitude, Autograph II - Single Vision Attitude and Autograph II - Single Vision) and two innovative technologies being



utilized in select Autograph II designs (FreeFrame Technology and As-Worn Technology). Shamir also announced the introduction of their new DLT (Direct Lens Technology) line of lenses that will utilize existing semi-finished Shamir designs (such as Creation, Piccolo, Office and Attitude), and incorporate an aspheric/atoric back-surface, complementing and enhancing the effectiveness of the front design. Shamir's new line of Autograph lifestyle designs is now available to order, while Shamir's DLT line will be available to order in summer of 2008.
