All of the spots close with the message “too much screen time can irritate your eyes or lead to dry eye symptoms,” and encourage audiences to chat with an eye doctor.
The spots are debuting digitally on Hulu, Google properties, and programmatic, as well as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and screenresponsibly.com.
“We spend a great deal of time looking at our screens, and our eyes feel it. ‘Screen responsibly’ is a message that resonated with us, personally and professionally,” said Michelle Nguyen, Consumer Marketing Lead, Ophthalmics, at Takeda. “That said, the connection between screen use and eye health isn’t stopping us from double-tapping selfies in our stream, or binge-watching our favorite shows. We know there’s humor in that, and it was important to us to represent that in a relatable and fun way. After all, who hasn’t brought her phone into a bathroom? We want people to know that you can love your screens AND your eyes. ”
“The eyelove® ‘screen responsibly’ platform offered a big place to play creatively,” said Brian Lefkowitz, Chief Creative Officer, Digitas Health. “The team leaned into humor, imagining what screens would say if they could talk. Levity led to quick clapbacks wrapped in friendly reminders to be mindful about screen time rather than finger-wagging about it.”
