To avoid a near tragic end, the cowboys 'Should've gone to Specsavers' for free polarised lenses to reduce glare, provide full UV protection and see things, like each other, more clearly.
Says Jane Hoban, director of marketing and contact lenses, Specsavers: “The ad was created to demonstrate the benefits of polarised lenses, which can reduce horizontal glare by 99.9% while providing full UV protection, and promote our free polarised lenses in your second pair offer.
“With Australia and New Zealand having some of the highest levels of UV and sun glare in the world, it’s important that people protect their eyes and polarised lenses are the best way to do that.
“We felt the best way to cut through with the audience was to dramatise the benefits of polarised lenses using our trademark ‘Should’ve ‘humour in the fun setting of the wild west where glare is front and centre.
“The campaign concept was developed by AJF when they first pitched to Specsavers so it’s great to see it brought to life as part of our latest ‘Should’ve’ campaign.”
Says Joshua Stephens, chief creative officer, AJF: “It’s a privilege for us to be working with the Specsavers team on executing the famous ‘Should’ve’ construct in new and different ways.
“We pay huge respect to the longevity of the brand idea, and being able to introduce fresh ideas like squinting cowboys for anti-glare lenses adds a benefit based layer to the campaign we’re very proud of. It’s also a whole lot of fun!”
