Alcon asks monthly contact lens wearers to #NeverSettle in a spot by DigitasLBi Singapore
DigitasLBi Singapore has launched the #NeverSettle integrated campaign to promote Alcon’s latest innovative contact lens product: Air Optix plus HydraGlyde, monthly disposable contact lenses.
The #NeverSettle campaign, which will run across Asia starting in Malaysia, aims to spark conversations around the areas where people settle in their everyday lives, such as vision, without realizing it.
The campaign encourages people to never settle for the things in life that leave them unfulfilled. It centers around Germaine Yeap, a former bank Treasurer who left the world of finance to become a Muay Thai fighter and stunt actor. Germaine features in a 30 second product focused film and a longer 2 min film, that tells her personal journey from finance worker to fighter and shows how she can’t settle for anything other than perfect vision.
The campaign challenges people to not settle for an inferior monthly contact lens in their own lives and to choose Air Optix plus HydraGlyde instead. The first and only monthly contact lens that brings together two proprietary Alcon technologies: SmartShield Technology and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix.
The integrated digital campaign activities include; a video, a social experiment video, macro and micro influencer outreach and digital advertising. The campaign is also supported by a PR launch and social content developed by Leo Burnett Malaysia.
Ashish Joshi , Asia Pacific Marketing Director at Alcon, “We wanted to tap into an unexplored area by using real people’s stories. We wanted to look beyond traditional marketing activities so that we could better engage with consumers on an emotional level, and demonstrate the benefits of our product in the real world.”
Keith Byrne, Creative Lead at DigitasLBi added, “We set out to inspire people with the #NeverSettle campaign to follow their dreams and step outside their comfort zones. Alcon has partnered with DigitasLBi, tapping into their creative, strategic and data offerings.”

Glorious opportunity lost.
