The Brief
Because staring at a computer screen for extended periods of time is a global health issue, we wanted to communicate across the Belgian borders and target as much people as possible. It was important to bring this serious issue in a fun and striking way, or else not a lot of people would be interested. By using this approach, we reached the target audience of intense computer users exactly in their natural habitat: online entertainment blogs, websites and communities.
Creative Execution
Starting on World Sight Day, October 8th, an online video lead people to the campaign website, where they could download Eyescare. We provided Windows (7/8/10) and Mac (OS X Yosemite/El Capitan) versions of the app so everybody has access to this free service.
Once installed, Eyescare shows you a nasty fullscreen picture about every 20 minutes and stays on your screen for 20 seconds. Unless you uninstall or shut off the app, there’s no escaping. No options, no pause button. An extended database of fullscreen pictures made sure people could use Eyescare for extended periods of time without seeing the same picture twice.
Eyescare did not only speak to people in Belgium, but quickly educated computer users from around the world about the screen-staring health issue.
• Seen and looked away in 54 countries.
• 21% of website visitors downloaded the app.
• Reach of 1.8 million people in Belgium only.
• €418,500 earned media
