The Task

Lenskart, the premier eyewear titan of South East Asia, is not just a brand; it's a revolution. Starting as an underdog in India back in 2010, it smashed expectations, catapulting to a unicorn valuation in 2018. It's now rocking the eyewear industry like an unapologetic punk band on a classical music stage.

Challenges? Sure. The American market wasn't ready for a 'foreign' eyewear brand. The old-school brands seemed unshakeable in their thrones. They underestimated us. But hey, we're Lenskart; we love a good challenge.

Our strategy was pure, unadulterated innovation. We wanted to fuse eyewear with the adrenaline-pumped dynamism of fast fashion. Weekly product drops, exclusive limited editions, striking collaborations - we decided to turn the entire eyewear scene on its head.

And the best part? We did all this with a with scientific efficiency data-driven marketing and product development, of course.

Demand

The 'Lenskart' name? Kept it, flaunted it, turned it into a statement. Our arsenal? A meticulous focus on 'mini-brands' curated within collections, designed to hit the bull's eye with our Gen Z crowd.

Now, this wasn't about merely 'selling glasses.' Nah, we're storytellers at heart. We believed in weaving compelling narratives around our products, creating an irresistible aura.

What Was In
The Box

1
How
Branding

We identified two key insights: first, our unfamiliar foreign brand was a potential weakness; second, the eyewear industry largely contrasts with the dynamism and youtfull energy of fast fashion. Recognizing these points, we chose to leverage fashion as our primary differentiator. We embraced our foreign roots to draw attention, positioning the established players as outdated and conventional. We planned to become the fashion brand of our times, a GenZ eyewear fast fashion brand

2
What
Scientifc Branding

In order that we make the most of the content produced, each piece of content was carefully tagged with hundreds of attributes. These were then fed into our CDP and later used for marketing campaigns, retention, audience building etc.

3
Who
Who was our target group?

Social media influencers were chosen strategically to be part of the story. Take Taylor who was on of the leads in our "Find Your Rising" campaign. With 123K followrs she is not an obvious candidate but with her existing affection for playful eyeglasses as well as a strong acumen in astrology and a following by some of the coolest kids in town, she was a prefect example of a strategic social media influencer collaboration.
